Hi, I'm still here. Will starting giving some updates soon again. Next MRI will be in January. My next meeting with Dr. Chung will be in February which will include a standard EEG test to see how things are. At my last visit with Dr. Chung, he stated that if things go well, that I may no longer need to take Keppra by the end of 2013. Most likely I will go on a taper schedule starting sometime in May if I am incident free (i.e., no seizures). As of right now, I am completely off of the Vimpat.

I also have an appointment scheduled with Dr. Wertheimer in February as well. This will be a long one as Dr. Wertheimer will be conducting a more comprehensive psyche evaluation test in addition to coming up with a cognitive rehabilitation plan.

Overall have been okay. The 3-4 weeks prior to Thanksgiving were great. I was basically symptom free and almost felt back to normal. However, since Thanksgiving, it's been up and down and some symptoms that haven't surfaced in months came back such as flashes of dizziness and wooziness. Although things are still a bit up and down, I have noticed a bit of improvement and hope it remains so.
