Yay! MRI was clear!


Got the news yesterday! The MRI came back clear. So no brain tumors. Always good. Aaron (TheLoadedGamer) told me I should stop bragging, so I’ll make it short.

My MRI is clear, however we still don’t know what’s causing the seizures. I have however been diagnosed with epilepsy, and am currently on Keppra twice a day. I’ve been having weird visual disturbances, which I think may be caused by petit-mal seizures like the ones recorded on my EEG (coming from the back left part of my brain).

My keppra levels were at 19 (not sure of the distribution). My doctor is moving me up to more meds to get the level to a “normal” level (usually about 35, though it can go all the way up to 60 in adolecents).

My glasses broke on Monday, and since they’re titanium, it’s not a 5 minute fix at my optimologist’s. Peter took them home, but I forgot to pick them up. =\ so I’m wearing my POS old glasses until I get them.

That’s all for now folks!

    I hope you can find a cure for those seizures. Dial down your refresh rate on that super cool LCD. I am not a doctor, I just play one on the internet. Get a second op on your eye prescription as well. Love your website.
