I’m sorry I’ve been MIA | June 11, 2015
I had a concussion on Tuesday (my birthday!) and haven’t been very functional.
I’ll be back as soon as my eyeballs stop zooming. ☹
Thanks for being so wonderful and understanding. I appreciate it — and you — a lot.

Get Better Soon! Going to see specialist in 14 days – will see the whole team this time! Lots to talk about! Also about the new VNS. Thanks for all your info! You are a big part of helping me get to know more about my situation which I have had since birth! The younger you’re born with it, the more difficult it is to treat – right? Thanks.

Just to say about my VNS – definitely helps with me – cuts about 70% of seizures – now with my Keppra and Eslicarbazepine. When on Fycompa, it was only doing about 30%. So all well and good. Thanks for your replies!

Thanks for all of your good wishes.
Arthur has proclaimed me “birthday queen” until Sunday.
But boy, am I sore from that fall. I even lost my shoes.
But I didn’t break my phone this time! 🙂

Phylls, this is so awful! Feel better soon, but take time to recover – concussions are so strange and the brain really needs rest to heal.
Take care and thanks for all that you do!
