Getting an MRI today. Something isn't working right in the left side of my brain, causing seizures. I want to drink.

My thoughts and prayers are with you. Please remember that a drink never makes anything better. It only brings more suffering. I know it’s hard, but try the serenity prayer. The bottom line is we have no control over this. All the worrying and stressing will not change anything. Try and remain in a positive mind frame. Believe that the universe will take care of you. It’s easier said than done, but perhaps it will bring your stress level down a notch or two so that you can get thru the MRI and waiting for the results :pray::peace_symbol:

Waiting on results. Was a 45 min MRI. I also have to go do an EEG. Hopefully will have more information by the end of the month.

I have partial seizures and they suck. Don’t stress til you have to. You may just need meds. Have you ever had a TBI? Over drinking can cause seizures as well and it can be controlled. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Never lose faith. :pray::pray::pray::pray:

Yes I've had a TBI. Thank you for your kind words. I appreciate it :sparkling_heart:

It’s because the alcohol has shrunk the blood vessels on the left side of the brain and caused the right side of the brain to remain normal!!! I had the same thing done and there’s nothing you can do about it

Annie you will have headaches and the seizures will eventually slow down and you will have them not as often …
I went through the exact same thing as you did … the key is to not drink alcohol ever again!!! You’re life is worth more than that…

Annie I sent you a friend request. Just read one of your post that talked about how your changing everything to get sober. That’s awesome and that is what we need to do. I’m going to add you two my prayer list. Can’t imagine the fear you must be going through. Do you have a sober support group? If not go to a meeting and get numbers and call them. Find some sober lady friends. Don’t isolate please. You never have to be alone with the obstacles in your life right now. Let’s stay in touch. Not sure why but I just felt compelled to reach out to you. Long distance hug sent to you
