Abnormal EEG

Abnormal EEG

I am 37 F, due to near syncope events (feels like adrenaline rush in stomach, then tingling and lightheadedness like I am going to pass out) I was referred to Neurologist. On initial exam, had reduced right side reflexes. I had abnormal EEG's in Feb and Aug 2004. The EEG showed sharp waves across the Left temporal lobe. MRI & MRA were both normal. Diagnosed with seizure disorder. Initially put on Topamax, then added Keppra.

After removal of Topamax due to cognitive impairment in late August, began having chronic goosebumps.  Feel lurch or rise in midsection/stomach and then the goosebumps break out on arms, occasionally on upper legs/torso but primarily on arms.  When they break out I am not cold, just have the unpleasant gooseflesh.  I have not mentioned the goosebumps to the Dr as I am not sure if they mean anything. Does it mean anything or is it possibly just a reaction to Keppra?  

Any guidance would be appreciated.

The "goosebumps" and the stomach sensation could represent a symptom from a seizure. You should discuss this with your doctor so that they can consider adjusting your medication. You should also begin a diary to document when these occur and how long the symptoms last. In addition you should ask family and friends if they have noted spells during which you act funny or do not respond. This will help the neurologist determine what to do. Good luck.
