Difficulty In Reading, Unable To Concentrate. History Of Seizures, Had Appendectomy. Took Keppra, Depacote. Any Ideas?
Any thoughts as to what may cause someone to start having trouble with reading, says he cannot concentrate and it looks like the words are moving around on the page as he reads. Also says that sometimes he has trouble getting out in words what he is thinking and wants to say. Male 21 years old. History of seizures, on Keppra and Depacote. Has something called Syndham Chorea as well. Had an appendectomy a week and a half ago! Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Dear Friend
Welcome to Healthcare Magic
I read your concern and and I would like to share my thoughts about his present symptom of difficulty in reading .
1) Is this symptom arises at present or he has difficulty in reading since seizure .
If symptoms arises at present then it can be due to progression of seizure complication involving parietal lobe . As you know parietal lobe is meant for touch perception, the integration of sensory information and in visual perception of spatial relationships among objects (visuospatial processing).
Parietal Lobe epilepsy is rare to happen but I would suggest you to do repeat CT imaging study and consult a Neurophysician to get his heath back to normal .
You can ask me if you have furthur queries ... I am here to health you ..
