For Those Who Arent Going to Be Jackasses & Want to Know my EEG results....

So the doctor comes in quick, seems in a better mood. He said I have extreme brain activity but doesn't think I have epilepsy. He will need to do a trial run w this medication, another EEG to determine. So anyway.
He goes "how's the medicine I put you on working?" I said terrible I've only called your office once a day to report another side effect. And he says "why did I even take you off the keppra, you were on it right?" "Yes I was on it and I told you it worked well and Idk why you changed it."
Mother Fucker didn't even have it in his notes that I had even taken keppra before. So he granted my wish of keppra XR but now I gotta fight my insurance for it.

Hallefuckinglulah. Why do you have to fight the insurance company if they were previously covering it?

charging for an extended release of a product that needs to work better; or mayhaps the condition specifically requires time release application, but still, that's more expensive, and ultimately creates more strain and stress i think is uhhh not a good factor here.
um... it's not gooosberry's to be stressed when you're having Epileptic fits.
and wasn't the old stuff working fine?

whoa, wait a minute....
whoa nelly.

Glad to hear the meds got straightened out...Insurance companies are getting more and more stingy with meds since Obamacare took hold. You really have to advocate for yourself to get the right person in the Insurance hierarchy that can approve it.
I feel you are up for the fight....good luck!!!

I thought fMRIs meaasured electrical brain activity.
Or is that blood flow? I cant remember.
But since Vivas seizures come without warning, i guess an at-home EEG works best.
Viva, have u tried to trigger a seizure, just to see what could be causing it?
Or maybe its too painful/dangerous to do?

Well it's good that you're getting back on meds that work. Neurologists seem to be complete fucking idiots sometimes. My little brother is epileptic and is currently in the process of finding a new medication that works, and he just got switched to some really side effect heavy old-school anti-convulsant whose name I can't remember right now. Just out of curiosity, what was the other medicine you said you had been on that worked horribly?

It can take up to 9 days for my insurance to OK my new script Wtf
And I've never tried to trigger one. Flashing lights will, those circular black and white things at haunted houses will. Sleep deprivation. Roller coasters (had one at Disneyland, imagine the embarrassment)
Ummm. Some sounds will make me anxious and make me feel weird, like some people's car alarms and if they go off for a long time.
Commercials with flashing lights.
But, usually, they just happen. Don't really know why 100% yet
