Sweet Pea I'm really pleased for ya! :raebanana :raebanana

Also helpful to know because my son (now 22) has epilepsy (he takes Tegretol but still has odd seizure once a month or so) and I wondered whether he might have difficulties getting into NZ - but from your experience it seems pretty straightforward - fingers crossed for no hiccups on the way!

I know from experience that people with epilepsy (who I don't like to call epileptics - it's part of a persons identity but not the persons identity) often face a lot of prejudice and unfair discrimination.

Anyway good news - keep us posted.

thanks

Tegretol is my meds too. i have 800mg a day it used to be 1200mg until last year but had it reduced seeing as though i was doing good on it, i was concerned about the medicals but it seems as long as you have got it under contol its fine:nice1
