I woke up this morning (14/3) at 6:15 when the alarm went off for the first time (we have it go off at 6:15 and then at 6:45 (don't ask). Any way, I wake up with a start at about 6:30 and begin to get the early precursor signs of a seizure. However it feels like it's only going to be a minor. Anyway I take a Clobazam (something that's supposed to dampen down the intensity of the seizure) but the symptoms get worse and I start to spasm and make weird noises and then pass out. Luckily I didn't wet myself or bite my tongue and at least I was in bed and my wife was there to look after me. I came to at around 8:30 but then slept on and off until about 10:00 (Clobazam makes you drowzy).
My neurologist was very surprised when I spoke to him about the previous seizure and upped my Lamotrigine dosage to 400mg per day, which is high. I hope it doesn't have to go up any higher.
So - my driving licence is put back once more. I'm beginning to wonder whether I'll ever get to drive again.
