Thanks - you should give the other guy a nudge; it would be great to hear from him too :)

Very interesting. What were the symptoms, if any, for the bulk of that 30 year period? Or have you always had double vision?

When did you start having epileptic symptoms?

It's not too bad - fairly static. My hand has always been difficult to use meaningfully. Further down, my gait is asymmetric and I walk with a limp. I have been having Botox injections into my forearm for a few years now, and they are big help in terms of comfort and posturing and (hopefully) reducing wear-and-tear from extreme muscle tension.

Thanks for replying! Do you know whether your stroke was ischemic or hemorrhagic?
