News Flash

Hey everyone! I hope you somewhat enjoyed my last post. I am very excited to say that I have hardly had any seizures... even small visual seizures. I'm not sure if I had mentioned it before but I lost the magnet that controls my VNS; however, I haven't to use it one time.
There is a downside to my health, unfortunately. I've started to experience some new side effects and I'm not sure where they are coming from or what would be triggering it all. The first thing is that I'm having major body tremors. I am almost positive these episodes are not seizures because of the way it feels when it's happening. It can last for almost half an hour. Sometimes it's very bad, and other times it's minor enough that I can hold my phone or eat without dropping whatever is in my hands. What worries me is that three conditions run in my family that causes trembling. 1) Diabetes. 2) Parkinson's. 3) Shingles. I might be overreacting but it's getting to the point where it's scary. I tried to think of other things it could be but I'm really not sure. It's been accompanied but severe headaches, especially if I don't eat on time. The more I put together my symptoms I feel like I might lean toward being diabetic like my grandfather. I remember what he went through living his final year in our home, and I have many of the same symptoms. Hopefully it's just some weird side effects from the medication.
Well, that's my update. I wish you all the best of health, new posts soon!
