I'm dealing with this recurring swelling and pain near my occipital area, and I've been seeing a doctor for a while now, but there's still no clear diagnosis. Right now, I'm on some tablets they prescribed, but the relief is just temporary, and the swelling seems to pop up all the time. Could you suggest any other approaches or tests that might help pinpoint the problem and get it treated effectively?

I've had a seizure in December and another one just recently, both times while I was sleeping around 5:15 in the morning. I had an MRI and it came back fine, but my blood work showed elevated liver enzymes and a higher white blood cell count. Should I be worried about these results, and is there a chance they're related to the seizures? What should my next steps be?
