The good news is that we are fit free to date and the news from the results of the EEG are good as no epileptical activity was noted. However there were some abnormal peaks. +++ The letter says, "However, there was an isolated burst of sharpened and irregular activity in the left temporal region. This means that we can only see nonspecific changes in the EEG now. These are not closely associated with a risk of recurrent epileptic seizures should you decide to stop your anti-epileptic medication completely. That said, an EEG not capturing epileptic activity does not rule out the possibility of an epileptic seizure recurrence." He has copied the letter and posted it to my GP and the Epileptic Nurse who I am told to contact regarding continuing the medication prior to seeing him again next August. ++++ This means that I have had a letter from the Nurse too, For now I will continue on the current dose level of 50mg Lamictal twice daily. I have not been on this dose for long enough to think it time to further reduce. The nurse tells me that I am in the discharged patients filing system unless I contact her. That is fine. ++++ My only side effects from surgery is the headaches from changes in Air Pressure and being unable to tolerate anything that blocks my forward field of vision, for instance walking behind someone in a crowd.
