Hi everyone!
I was diagnosed with MAV about 6 months ago, after about 12 months of confusion! My neurologist put me on epilim about 2 weeks ago and I have found it to be a great relief. I almost feel normal again! I’m not quite sure how medication for epilepsy helps - does anyone else?

Hey!
Welcome to the forums.
Just a note: for those who don’t know, Epilim is a brand name of Sodium Valproate here in Australia/NZ.
Glad to hear you’re improving. Doesn’t it make you just angry (and upset) that most doctors do not recognise this syndrome and you could have avoided a lot of misery!!

Hi Raven,
I have been on Epilim for about a month now and it is really kicking in. Whilst I’m still not 100%, my confidence has improved dramatically. I’ve been exercising a few days a week and my concentration has also improved at work.
I’m a bit concerned, however, that the epilim is simply managing the problem rather than fixing it. I’ll bring this up with my neurologist when I see him in a month. At the moment though, I’m just gald something is working - I have very busy few months ahead with my last semester of uni and a wedding to plan!!
Hoping all is OK with you,
Lozza
Thanks for update!
