Seizure Medication
Further to Mr Fruit falling from the scaffolding, we today went for the results of the mri scan on his head, which is showing something there, he is now being referred to the uclh but in the meantime he's been given anti seizure medication, I've never known him have a seizure in the 41 years of us being married, consultant seemed to think that's why he fell off scaffolding, but he went through the boards, I did mention this, why give medication if it's not needed.

My records still show his diagnosis and no amount of straight talking with medics when it comes up will change that, they just plough on with their settled chat, deaf to protestations of the error of their seniors.
Bednobs started off a bit weirdly - but I agree. Totally inappropriate for any of us to advice on medication which is affecting epilepsy
big hoo-ha about this

yes I know it is 23 y ago - but I have a long memory. Short lesson: epilepsy medication is something us proles can keep away from
Just read an article that Levetiracetam works differently to other anti eleptics. It seems as though it can target a specific area where a seizure can arise so if the MRI shows a specific area of concern the drug could target only that area. Preventing a seizure is better than treating one. The choice is of course yours but it is better to err on the side of caution until a diagnosis is forthcoming. Good outcome and best wishes to you both
