Flair up

Hello all,

I went almost 11 weeks without any shocks until the 20th when I started getting shocks at night. I upped my meds from 600mg to 900mg Oxcarbazepine.

That was 9 days ago and I still get shocks at night and throughout the day.

I am wondering what to do? Should I increase my meds to 1200mg of Oxcarbazepine?

Should I ask about adding gabapentin?

Should I just ride it out until it hopefully stops soon??

I don’t know what to do. I’m afraid of always taking more meds when the pain comes because then I’ll max out my meds before I know it. And when the pain is gone I’m afraid to take less meds because it might come back.

I’m 26 yr old male and I just want to live a semi normal life but this flair up has me on the sidelines of my own life and I don’t know what to do or how long it will last.

Appreciate you all on here. I know I only come here when times are the worst. I hope to get MVD soon but insurance and paying for it is impossible it seems. I got quoted at $116,000 out of pocket costs and that really hurt to hear. How can they expect anyone to have that kind of money??
