JLewis134 Posted January 11, 2020 Author Posted January 11, 2020 Finally received the news. Diagnoses is partial seizures. EEG would abnormal brain activity in my right frontal lobe. I am now medicated (Aptiom) and can't drive for a month until cleared by the doctor to see how the medicine does. I will back on the water and road (hopefully) very soon. 5 Quote
BassResource.com Administrator Glenn Posted January 11, 2020 BassResource.com Administrator Posted January 11, 2020 That is some very good news, because it sounds like it can be managed to the point you can lead a normal life. I bet that's a big load off your chest! 1 Quote

I bet that's a big load off your chest! Yes sir! I'm lucky. The doctor even said partial seizures are much easier to manage and deal with than being a diabetic which surprised me. Very happy! Getting my buddy to take me this Sunday fishing and I will be sure to show off my fish as I haven't gone since that incident on December 18th. I wasn't sure what was going to happen but I thought I lost my license for 6 months to a year. Just glad I didn't hurt anyone or myself and didn't do much damage in the process. Glad to soon be back on the water and driving again. 2 Quote

Super User J Francho Posted January 23, 2020 Super User Posted January 23, 2020 Wow! I'm glad you're doing better and have a path to treatment. I'll say for myself, I'd take my 'beetus over seizures any day. But, if I could take a pill to get rid of it, I'd go that route. Really good to hear the news! Quote

I was hoping it was diabetes at first as I was completely unsure. Luckily its a partial seizure diagnosis 1 Quote

Super User J._Bricker Posted January 23, 2020 Super User Posted January 23, 2020 Hang in there @JLewis134, as you know it’s a process Quote
ike8120 Posted January 25, 2020 Posted January 25, 2020 Sorry to hear that. Hopefully docs will get you on the right meds. Quote
Super User Sam Posted January 25, 2020 Super User Posted January 25, 2020 J, thank goodness you are OK and did not hit anyone with the vehicle. There are medications the doctors can give you to control the situation. All the best for a fast diagnosis and the meds to help you avoid them in the future. Quote
Super User Oregon Native Posted January 26, 2020 Super User Posted January 26, 2020 Gosh...just read this while waiting to "get picked up to go fishing" So hard to not feel in control. Feel your pain about what's going on. It's a huge patience game. I'll be so so glad when the swelling goes down in my head...it is but OMG it's taking it's freeking time. All the best to you and will keep lifting you up... I remember I used to tie hundreds of jigs and such in minutes....now..."laughing" it takes forever. Go catch one bud.... Quote
