As many of you know, I take medication to keep me from having seizures (Depakote). One of the side effects is sudden liver failure (fun fun fun). So I have to have my liver function checked every 6 months. It might shorten my life, but the quality of my life ON Depakote is far better than the alternative, which would be seizures bringing on more and more brain damage. It does have one awesome positive side effect, too- when my medication level is right, I have no migraines, and sleep incredibly restful sleep.
