Why at 66?
by: CCH on Mon, Sep 21 2009

I had a leaking brain aneurysm in 1998, 11 years ago. I wasn’t expected to live but I did. I am now 66 and just started having petit mal seizures I was on medication for about 3 years after my brain aneurysm but was taken off and have been doing fine until this year. I don’t know that I have had a seizure except that I get real sleepy afterwards and will fall asleep at my desk. I still work. I am with the public health department and am a registered nurse. I am now on Keppra 500 mg twice a day and it seems to have helped. It is not a good feeling to know that you can have a seizure at anytime.
