It’s Christmas eve and today I had my first seizure in two weeks which is pretty awesome. I think I jinxed myself though by admitting to a couple of people that it has been “ages” since I’ve had a seizure. It seems to happen all the time whenever I do that. My new policy is to just keep my mouth shut. From now on, if someone asks about how often I have them, I’m just going to say, oh it varies.
Im still transferring to topamax and lamictal, and I’ve noticed that now that my topamax dosage is increasing, my ability to speak fluently is decreasing. (And yes it took a while for me to come up with how to say that sensibly, and I’m still not sure it makes sense :-). Seriously though, I get stuck more often in the middle of a sentence on a word that I just can’t think of. Words as simple as “president” or “Bluetooth”. And I remember this now, from previous times I’ve taken topamax. But hey, less seizures and sentence struggling is better than more seizures and word memory. But ask me that again in March when I’m back at uni and words are very important.
Anyway, merry Christmas and happy new year! We’re enjoying the heat of Brisbane but also the pool at mum’s complex (except of course today was not a good day for me to swim so I sat on the side and watched the fun). Lots of food tomorrow no doubt then of course back to the diet- hahahah!!!!
