i went to my primary doc on thursday and told him about all that went on. he looked into the records that my ear doc sent by fax. he thinks it's the result of the stroke that i had 2 years ago. whether it's a seizure or not, it would be quite difficult to find out through testing, and he didn't think the tests would reveal results conclusively.

he's a really good doc. he knew that i went through so much and didn't want to put me through any more weird stuff. so we went on to discuss the meds.

so, now i'm taking the neurontin nightly, 300 mg. neurontin is a medication that helps with seizures associated with epilepsy and nerve pain. i'm hoping it will help prevent my vertigo attacks, as they are nasty and very exhausting.

we'll know for sure as a month passes by. if it doesn't work, then we'll try other meds. hopefully, we'll be able to find a medication that will work. i hope it won't be as hard to find the right one as it is with my depression. i have no experience whatsoever with epilepsy meds or what to expect.

this vertigo attacks that i have is definitely a weird symptom. but, my doc was so nice and so helpful. gotta love him. i do trust him.
