Which I guess is good news as it means nothing significant has happened. And that's the truth of it. I am still, touch wood, seizure free after four years and three months on Keppra. Tue, 11 Jul 2023 17:00:09 +0100 https://the-hug.org/opus2638.html <p>Today my new driving licence arrived in the post. They sent it two days ago, on the anniversary of my last seizure. So well done DVLA for processing this in good time (although I did re-apply on the earliest possible date so as to give them as much time as I could). Thu, 07 Mar 2019 22:58:59 +0000 https://the-hug.org/opus2630.html <p>As I <a href="https://the-hug.org/opus2624.html" target="_top">mentioned before</a> the doctor at our surgery who let me have a supply of somatriptan injectors was also keen to explore prophylaxis. Again. Wed, 10 Oct 2018 21:26:29 +0100 https://the-hug.org/opus2624.html <p>I talked here <a href="https://the-hug.org/opus2609.html" target="_top">before</a> about using my friend's sumatriptan injector and how successful it was. She actually gave me two more so when the migs <a href="https://the-hug.org/opus2616.html" target="_top">flared up again</a> I used one and, although it wasn't as quick as the first time, the whole episode last only a couple of hours rather than the usual ten to eighteen. Sat, 15 Sep 2018 11:49:05 +0100 https://the-hug.org/opus2616.html <p>As my <a href="https://the-hug.org/opus2611.html" target="_top">last post</a> said I was, at that point four weeks migraine free. That continued for seven weeks and then, seven weeks to the day after my last migraine, I had another one. Fri, 07 Sep 2018 13:56:34 +0100
