Be patient, I am sure your weakness will retreat eventually. Glad to hear you are getting better. Here's hoping you will have a good 2014.

That sounds pretty good. After such major surgery no-one is likely to be back to normal straight away and I'm sure it won't be too much longer until you are feeling yourself again.

Best wishes xx

I didnt think it was going to be this bad tho i cant lift a finger without tiring myself out the neurosurgeon did say i would be tired wasnt expecting it this much lol suppose it makes the men of the house do much more and thats a bonus :-)

Hello sorry to here about your awful symptoms due to Meds. I have been on alot of Meds for about 10 yrs combination Lamotrigine and Levetracetam it works well for me. See hour GP are you under a Neurologist also if so speak to the Specialist.
