Sudden Seizures at age 48
by: Julie A on Wed, Apr 23 2008

The day 08/29/07 is the day I thought I was having a mild stroke The findings; an aneurysm (2.5mm) and mild seizures. The seizures seem to be advancing and they adjust my meds accordingly. I can’t focus, can’t express words, very confused. I’m right now going thru my second dosage increase, hope it relieves the systems so I can work without feeling like a idot because I can not speak the correct words in a sentence and I loose control of my eyes when looking at paperwork. Very frustrating and depressing. This all started at age 48, the doctors insist it has nothing to do with the aneurysm. The aneurysm is at the base of my brain (circle of willis). I would like to hear from someone that maybe knows what I am going through. I am a professional in the medical field (22 yrs) and I feel that I can no longer speak professionaly. At what point do you give up? What other job could I do?
