Hi, @adoptivemother. I'm so glad you are connecting with @jakedduck1 @kb2014 @santosha, who have rich lived experiences to share with you.

When you go to Mayo Clinic, the epileptologist will surely be willing to connect you to a neuropsychologist. There are several in Minnesota. Is that the campus you are hoping to visit, or in AZ or FL, or elsewhere?

@kb2014 - thanks for sharing about the situation with your husband and your seizure risk. That would be challenging not having your life partner respect your disorder. I relate to not speaking to a relative about a certain subject, as you mentioned. I cannot talk to one relative about the news or current events, as our perspectives are so different that it's not fruitful for a good relationship.

You talked about your husband not wanting to pursue therapy or couples' counseling. Do you have a local friend who understands or at least respects your neurological disorder who provides some support? You also talked about trauma therapy. Is that something you'd recommend to others who have seizure risk?
