saadbell, my cousin was born with ms and later developed epilepsy. Seizures are never easy to control and trust me, the anger of having them will make you not want to take your meds! But the irony...

When I said my pm would give me a max of one set of three, I meant she would do one shot, if that didn't work, come back, another shot, come back, another shot. She wouldn't do all three at once. But...

Hi. Sorry for what you are about to go through. I'm not sure why your ped neuro would tell someone that epilepsy could be cured. I'm 44 and I've had epilepsy since age 13. My ped neuro was wonderful....

I can understand why you would want to come off of dilantin, I had nothing but trouble with it when I was on it, but that's not to say it doesn't work for other people. I'm on lamictal and my dose is...

Hi Mysti. Screaming Eagle is right as usual. When my pm dr did my shots in my back she would only do a set of three. She said that's all dr's are allowed to do. As far as the ice is concerned, I...

Maybe the anger is because I think I'll never be "normal". I'm a 43yr old Irish woman so anger is a problem. I have a great sense of humor as do most Irish women. Unfortunately, when I no longer have...

Retired Mom, I also have fusion that didn't relieve pain, but it did help with structure. When I(we) were considering a scs unit, my ns told me the same thing, but suggested that I see another ns for...

Yeah, it's raining! Guess where I live? The Chesapeake Bay is beautiful! The way the rain fall on the shifting bridge! It's something to be seen. From the road. My scs unit works great, unless it...

Hi everyone! I haven't posted in a while. Just thought I'd add my 2 cents in on this one. I wouldn't go to sleep without my scs unit! I was on so much pain meds no other pm dr would take me when we...

You have got to be kidding me. Our insurance changed, so did the dr.s who were on it . It took me a while to find a new pm dr and the new insurance co actually has a dep. to help find dr.s I went to...

Hi everyone I have a question. Thursday night and then again friday night I went to the er, migraines both times. From the time I went through the doors until the time I left Kenny and I told anybody...

My husband got me a beagle puppy about a month ago. I don't normally like small dogs but I've fallen in love with this little goof ball. There is only one problem, she(Bella) is killing me. I will...

Thanks for keeping us informed. Make sure you let Buttercup know we're thinking about her....

[5] Since my scs unit has been so successful and I've gotten the "all clear" from my dr I thought I would push my luck and try to mess things up. You know me, "if it's not broke, poke it with a...

Straydog, I had the same problem with the people who live behind me. Their backyard backs up to my backyard and my backyard has alot of shade trees. Their yard has none. When they moved in a couple...

Hey kimshee.. you're not alone. That's what everybody here is for. On a bad day you come here to get a pick-me-up and on a good day you come to help be a pick-me-up. Right now in the middle of a...

I finally got my scs unit re-programed. You know what that means? I actually get relief from the rock that's in my back. At least that's what I call it. When I push on it to charge it or change the...

Loretta..That's what I say all summer long. You can add clothes in the winter but you can't take skin off in the summer. We have fans too except for our bedroom and it's got to be heat stroke hot...

Hello Nurse, I'm sure by now you've realized how your wording could have been a little better. When my grandmother (the most important person in my life) was in the hospital dying, she had the worst...

Everybody has talked about their meds being stolen, what about lending? My brother-n-law would run out of his meds before his next dr visit and would ask if he could borrow a few of mine until he got...

Simply by the topic you know who this is. If flowers need rain to bloom than I am definitively a cactus! Drinking and bathing is enough water for me. Of course nobody can speak puppy so Bella(present...

Christina I know what you mean. When I get blood drawn they lick they're lips and smile. All they need to do is push the tube against my skin and it's done. Now that I'm off my narcotics I don't have...

My first med for epilepsy at age 14 was phenabarbitol(spelling?) This med turned my teeth gray. My dr changed by med right away to dilantan(spelling?) This med moved my teeth. Once again a med change...

Hi Heather Lynn and welcome to our family! Luckily this is the one family that you can pick. I haven't been here long but I can't say enough good things about this website. It's nice to be able to...

My unit is on the left side and I sleep on the right side. I have four leads. I've never had a problem with the right side, if anything that side has had to be turned down because it feels stronger...
