May be hard: Most pts who experience seizure activity have no memory that they had an event. Decreasing frequency, length of spells, decreased severity all good signs, but an improved eeg is even better. Make sure your meds are all within therapeutic range, and your sodium, potassium, calcium, and glucose are normal. Would not suggest more meds, but maybe vns unit. Ask your doctor about this.
