Keep It Like A Secret

hiddenmuseYou know how I'd had about 6 months seizure-free?
"Yeah ... well, about that TPS Report ... "
Okay, seriously, the 6 months ended a few weeks ago, when I started having partial seizures. Entirely unprovoked, out of nowhere. They'd manifest themselves as a sudden panic attack that would last less than a minute, followed by my crying.
So now, I'm on yet another seizure medication. This is #3, my lovelies - a drug called Trileptal, with side effects like headaches, drowsiness, loss of appetite and/or weight gain. And the headaches are a real bitch, because they don't just go away with three Advil and a caffeine chaser. :-( However, I'm getting plenty of sleep - even if it means lots of naps during the weekends.
I just hate that I'm on three different drugs to keep my seizures under control. Even if, as Kellie told me, this is probably just the natural progression of the disorder. It still bothers me, that's all.
Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to take three or 15 Advil to get rid of this headache. Dammit.
