I Commuted and My Bike's By My Desk!

[sgtiger]

Congrats, Debrajen, on your first bike commute back! I'm sure it's the first to many more. Sounds like you have great co-workers, too.

Yay, Debrajen!@!!

So things have worked out? (My brother had a grand mal seizure - also out of the blue - 'bout two weeks ago... no, *not* the brother who got the dx of Wegener's disease in March...)

Keep on pedalin - now you're free to make your own choices.

Yeah, things have worked out o.k. - so far so good.

Is your brother having tests done? Since I had two seizures two days in a row, my doctor went ahead and had me get an EEG which showed "seizure potential," so he put me on meds. They took about a week and a half to get used to. Now they just make me a little drowsy but no more seizures. My neurologist told me about 70% of the time seizures start occurring "unprovoked" (ie., no history of seizures, no previous head trauma, etc.) and they have a good success rate treating with meds as long as they're taken regularly. Seizures are scary and there aren't always firm answers regarding the cause, but at least they can be controlled. I hope things work out well for your brother and he doesn't have to go through any more of them.
