[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 402228, member: 3444"] Janet, he's on Trileptal. He tried Lamictal, and while it did okay for seizure control and mood stabilization, he got a rash so the neuro made him stop taking it. He still gets seizures, even on Trileptal, but these [U]aren't [/U]the typical convulsive type. Only he knows he's having one. He also takes Simvastatin, Trilipix. His cholesterol numbers are much better since he's been on this combo. I'm wondering now if he's in the early stages of diabetes. He complained tonight that his eyes have been bugging him lately, that things are harder to see close up suddenly. He just had his vision checked last month (that's how we found out he has glaucoma) and his accuity was fine. He drinks a lot of diet soda all day long, so I don't know if it's because he's thirsty or just craving the caffeine. And because he drinks a lot, he has to pee a lot, so who knows if that's got anything to do with the diabetic urinary problems they talk about. He gets virtually no aerobic exercise at all these days. He sits in the car for 3 to 4 hours a day, and sits at his desk the other 8 to 10 hours. On the weekends, all he wants to do now is sleep in until 10am or later! At night, he unwinds by playing spider solitaire for hours and watches TV. All in all, a recipe for pretty crummy health. He needs to get a job closer to home so he has time to take better care of himself! [/QUOTE]
