OOPS!

About the last post. This week I went to the hospital and was tortured some more. That was on Facebook. What I didn't say was I told the doctor about the TLE problem with the occasional dips into depression. After I pointed out the link between corticosteroids and depression and my increased aura activity I got "oops, stop using the grease." The auras have stopped and I feel a lot better. What's funny is that the nurses knew about the reaction. Sometimes I feel like an experiment.

I don't know

For the last week I been throwing auras like crazy (8). But for some reason no seizures. I've found something that works better than Dilantin.
   As soon as I feel something coming on (deja vu, rotten turkey smell or this really strange sense of vertigo) I call for mom. She comes over and holds my hand. So far It's worked great.
   She's worried to death. I see it every time she looks at me. She asks me at least once per hour if I'm OK. She calls me from church to check on me.
   My greater concern is my emotional makeup. Also some cognitive problems. Memory is deteriorating. I'm scared something is coming at me and I have no idea what.
