Relationships and AVM

Hi again everyone,

For a large part of my life, i was taught to keep things to myself.

Recently I started to practice opening up to the people i love around me.

My best friend is an amazing person. I dont know where i would be without her.

I told her about my AVM a couple of years back and shes been with me to the doctor at times i didnt want to go on my own.

I just feel like sometimes its hard for her to get the whole experience when it comes to the medication im on.

Keppra helped alot, and recently i started taking another med, after i went to my yearly doctor check up, since i was still getting partial seizures.

She wasnt a fan of the first medication, and even less so with the Vimpat.

Shes a therapist and believes that a large part of this issue of partial seizures is due to stress and trauma. Which in part i agree with.

I guess what im trying to say is, some times its hard for me talk to her because her beliefs do not align perfectly with mine.

I know therapy helps, and i know breathwork helps, but recently she brought up the fact that im not even 30 yet and will be taking two meds for the rest of my life.

Idk i feel like im yapping.

Anyone ever experienced something like this?

Can seizures be controlled fully with out any medication?
