- Do these sources show a causal relationship between my allergy treatment and my seizure? No.
- Is there a bigger picture? Yes. Lots of medical researchers are on the case and it makes sense to follow up.
- Is there something I can possibly do to avoid further seizures? Yes. Keep taking Keppra (of course) and maybe not do the next three years (156) injections of anti-allergy serum.
- Next step: Scan these papers to tease out the possible connection between allergies and epilepsy.
