It has definitely been a difficult couple of months. From the moment I found out I was pregnant I knew it wouldn't be easy. I knew I would have to come off the Topamax which was controlling my epilepsy wonderfully for years.
I was diagnosed with epilepsy at age 14 & had been on pretty much every anti seizure medication out there & only Topamax really worked.
When I had issues with Lamitcal while I was pregnant my neurologist took me off any medication completely. I was fine until the last couple weeks of my pregnancy, then I started having seizures & it hasn't ended.
I keep having break through seizures probably due to the fact that I'm sleep deprived & that I'm changing meds (going from the Keppra they put me on in the hospital back to Topamax).
I really hope to be seizure free soon because I love my son & I want to be able to fully care for him, which I can't now. It kills me because I can't breast feed & I was looking forward to it & now my mom has to watch my son at night so I can get enough sleep.
But one day I will be seizure free!!!
