Diagnosed with partial complex siezures in 2002.. symptoms since approx. 1989. In 1992 EEG indicated convulsive tendonsies. All EEG's have been abnormal. MRI shows possible head injury. Past occupation.... medivac corpsman in the coast guard. Could have injured head at anytime. Current meds- Topamax....200 mg TID, Keppra... 500mg 3 tabs BID. I do not have all my lab work but a little over a year ago was noted enlarged red cells. VA has not done much but keeps drawing more labs. Sending me from one clinic to another stating it is neurology problem and then neurology states it is primary care problem. I do believe both meds can cause this. I have noted extreme exhaustion, shortness of breath ( i am a hiker.. very unusual), some bruising (even in crazy places like behind my knees), blurred vision, ringing in my head. Please advise. Thank you.
