notloki Posted November 28, 2019 Share Posted November 28, 2019 It seems the floor jumped up and hit my right eye socket and left me with a lovely hematoma. Very annoying. As usual I have no memory of this happening and recent memory is spotty. I probably had a generalized tonic clonic as everything hurts but I have Norco. I bled all over the place, have no memory of that but my roommate, who I forgot I had, noticed. Scalp wounds bleed. I think this one was caused by forgetting to take my Keppra, unfortunately.

notloki Posted November 29, 2019 Author Share Posted November 29, 2019 Thank You Crazyhead and Raspberry. I'm better, I have slept some. I do hurt but have located my pain pills, diclofenac cream ( NSAID cream) and antibiotic cream to smooth my bruises and strained muscles. Boy do I have a black eye.

Gearhead Posted November 29, 2019 Share Posted November 29, 2019 I have diclofenac gel. That stuff is the bomb. Lidocaine patches, such as you can get at the drugstore (I use Salonpas) are really helpful too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m feeling particularly tender towards lidocaine right now, because my young nephew got a wicked sunburn yesterday, and I just bought him some aftercare gel and basically marinated him in it, and now he feels better.

notloki Posted April 28, 2020 Author Share Posted April 28, 2020 Quite some time has passed since I wrote this. Keppra kept me seizure free 8 years. Neuro says this means it works. Unusual to have breakthrough seizures once you are stable so he suspects hypoglycemia at night. Too low a glucose level and anyone is likely to seize and no amount of anti seizure meds can stop a hypoglycemic caused seizure. I have a great neurologist so he is not pointlessly loading me with meds. I had a phone conference with the neurologist. The next step is the PCP is to request a 24 hour glucose level. Stop. This involves my PCP ordering a 24 hour test and finding someone who can do it. We were working on this just prior to COVID hitting. This will tell us if I drop below 80, the beginning of seizure zone. While my neurologist is generally available by limited appointment, telemed/Internet, or phone. My PCP posted a note that she is sheltering at home to take care of her 90's mother. She refills all prescriptions from legit pharmacies with a 90 day supply. She will do limited telmed but must be Mac and I am Windows. She wants to do Facetime I need her to order up lots of tests and a PA for the 24 hour test. I still have not gotten to speak or communicate with her. I may have to wait for COVID to blow over to get elective services, they can't do my cataracs until June.
