Thank you so much everyone, all of your stories and well wishes do make me feel supported and less alone. I was hoping a couple of people might read this, but I didn’t expect so many people to give me such kind responses! This is really an amazing community, and I’m grateful to all of you https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif

As for alternative medicine, I have tried electro-acupuncture (they send pulses through the needles) for a severe back injury I had a year ago. I limped in to their office barely able to stand straight, and when I left after half an hour I was walking normally and had no pain recurrence for the next two days, it was amazing! I also find that yoga lessens my seizures – the doctor told me that stress can trigger them so yoga basically keeps me at lower risk. This will be really important if I ever decide to have children, because seizure medications more than double the risk of birth defects; I would have to go off them completely and rely on alternative methods of reducing/preventing my seizures. But that’s a long time away, and I’m not going to worry about it until I have to.

On the bright side, my finger is healing from the biopsy faster than expected. Today I can bend it a little and it hurts a lot less than yesterday. Every little good point helps, even if its a tiny bend of the finger haha. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_sunny.gif
