Getting Control of My Fatigue?

Just adding to my post yesterday.  Although I'm really tired now, after being awake for 3.5 hours, This morning was the first in a very long time that I initially awoke feeling like I had enough sleep......Maybe there's hope that the increased  med. dose may help.   Fingers crossed (on my unaffected side).

No More Seizures but still Quite Fatigued

After having someone say they were worried about me and wondered if I was OK since my last post, I figured it was well past time to post an update.

Sorry for the big gap between posts; I've had no luck using speech recognition software and I'm still battling with chronic fatigue so I avoid typing because the one-handed style frustrates me and tires me more.

Anyway, After having the seizure mentioned in my last post, I was prescribed an anti-convulsant medication; I've, thankfully, not had another seizure.  I had an EEG done and was told it showed "brain activity as is typical post-stroke", whatever that means.

As for my fatigue, in an attempt to fix it, as of yesterday, my anti-depression medication dose has been increased (but that takes a couple of weeks to take affect), then in November I meet with a sleep consultant to maybe set-up a sleep study.

I hope something helps soon; I'm so very tired of being tired!
