Title: well I went 5 weeks without a CH!
Post by athos on Sep 24^th, 2004, 11:43pm

I usually 2-3 times per week and this time it was 5 weeks. This was after my neck surgery.

Meds are trileptol 1000mg 3x per day Keppra 600 3x per day and oxycodone 2 5mg every 6 hours.....

not sure if it is the suregery or the med adjustment, but I will take it.

If it continues that moves me into the eposodic group, just barely.

Sunday is the normal hell day for me so we will see.

Hopin' it's not the meds but just a BIG break from the beast, like permanent.

Ken,

Interesting you are pf and I'm SO glad.

Were you on Keppra prior to surgery?

I received Keppra via IV to break a cluster and it was a like a miracle for me, except it only lasted a few days, but the ch was gone at 200 i.u.

I contemplated going back this past week for another Keppra IV dose but managed without it.

Congrats on the pf 5 weeks and I hope it continues another 50 years.

Great new and here's to 740 more pf years.

My theory is that surgery and other trauma make our system focus on making you well. Here's hoping it's not just so you can deal with the beast again. You know, maybe, just maybe......
