No More Seizures but still Quite Fatigued

After having someone say they were worried about me and wondered if I was OK since my last post, I figured it was well past time to post an update.

 

Sorry for the big gap between posts; I've had no luck using speech recognition software and I'm still battling with chronic fatigue so I avoid typing because the one-handed style frustrates me and tires me more.

 

Anyway, After having the seizure mentioned in my last post, I was prescribed an anti-convulsant medication; I've, thankfully, not had another seizure. I had an EEG done and was told it showed "brain activity as is typical post-stroke", whatever that means.

 

As for my fatigue, in an attempt to fix it, as of yesterday, my anti-depression medication dose has been increased (but that takes a couple of weeks to take affect), then in November I meet with a sleep consultant to maybe set-up a sleep study.

 

I hope something helps soon; I'm so very tired of being tired!

Massive fatigue is a quite common side effect of strokes.  My husband had his first mild stroke in 1990, went back to work six months later, drove to work, drove home, collapsed in a chair, I woke him up to eat, he had dinner and went to bed, repeated that five days a week. On the weekends he managed to get through the morning and slept each afternoon.It certainly restricts your life.  it is part of new research here in Australia so let's hope we get a result as it is what is stopping a lot of people from enjoying life post-stroke.

 

Good to see you had the energy to do another blog  :welcome: .

Thank you, Sue, I believe you commented on my first post about fatigue, as well.
