A little about me:

I've had epilepsy 49 years till they found out what was wrong with me.
Had brain surgery in 1982 in Montreal Canada and I have the VNS.I can't get it removed.
Meds didn't control me,and I'm med resistant to a lot of meds and allergic to about 5.
I take Tegretol 900MG aday. Clonazepam 1/2Mmg a day Topamax 400MG a day.
I've taken 21 different AEDs the latest being vimpat, and it seems I'm allergic to it.I started back itching again like crazy.
I tried finding out nothing had changed, and that I was allergic to vimpat
also.

On February 9th 2009 I had a Lumbar Fusion and June23rd 2011 I ended up getting a heart pacemaker which is helping to control my seizures really good.

I learned the reason why meds didn't help me is because I have A FIB an d they can cause seizures.
I had pacemaker put in June2011.
I only had like hand full after it was put in and small ones.
I had 2 seizures in January 2013.
