As you can tell the Epilepsy and seizures are back. While I have only had 4 seizures since the brain surgery, I am having them again. It is heart breaking that they are happening. Most of them have had some sort of explanation, at least it seems like it to me. However, this last one does not. Until I learned about the PTSD seizures. While mine are originally Epileptical, I believe this last one could have been from PTSD given the time of year it is and some of the trauma I have gone through around now.
According to my counselor, I have PTSD rather than depression which I was diagnosed with at a very young age. That is very likely in all honesty. Most of the time I am in a good mood and am a very happy person, however, there are random events or random times of the year when my emotions go out of whack. So it makes a lot more sense for me. Plus, to go along with all of that, my family doctor that originally diagnosed me with depression back in the day, we learned, didn't give a shit about his patients let alone set them up with the right kind of meds. That was also many years ago so we didn't have the technology or knowledge that we have now. I want to believe that it was due to lack of those things but, I do question the passion though.
Either way the main thing I keep in mind now is that I am having WAY less seizures and only having them at night. They are also less severe. This last one I had, I didn't bite my tongue or rip into my hands with my nails. So all in all, this is still better than it was before. And as long as we can keep them only happening at night while sleeping, I'll be good.
