Adjusting

After my last entry, I did sleep good again. It is kind of hard because everyone tells me not to overthink things and associate my behaviors with having attacks/seizures but at the same time I kind of have to find patterns to see what works and what are triggers. Wednesday was a great day. I drove to the dentist and back home safely and did not have any attacks/seizures the whole day. I tried to stay up and watch a movie since my day was going well but I had 2 attacks during the movie. I don't know if they would've happened in my sleep anyway so I tried not to worry about it. It was still a great day.

 

Thursday I started back on my old dosage of keppra that I'd been taking for the 12 years before the seizures came back, started back on my name brand mini pill, and took 2 clonazepams that night instead of one. I still had an attack while trying to fall asleep but I've been sleeping pretty good ever since so it might have just been anxiety about falling asleep after my first day on the old dosage of keppra.

 

Yesterday was wonderful. After a good nights rest, I went the whole entire day with no attacks/seizures. I had been up since 8am hanging out with my dad, I had to talk about my condition during my intake appointment at Vocational Rehab, and even though I spent the whole day with my dad everything stayed okay when I got home and slept.

Today I did have a quick attack but I reminded myself I do not have seizures anymore and Im back on the right meds to help me. It was a lot less intense than the ones I had last week so Im hoping the meds are doing their job.

Katrina, great news, long may it last.  I think your body probably responds to the exercise and the stimulus you get when you go out as I have noticed you sleep better when you are active, as I do too.  Enjoy your life as much as you get, I look back at my youth now and think how fast it went.

I agree with Sue for me, I sleep very well when I have done atleast 10000 steps during day & have kept routine in my life. exercise tires me out, and I am out like light as soon as I hit the pillow in night
