Hi @royanthony,
Congratulations on 13 months seizure-free! That's wonderful news, and it sounds like you've found a combination that's really working for you. I'm so happy for you! 😊
It's amazing how much lifestyle changes can impact seizure control. I've experienced similar benefits from lifestyle adjustments myself.
It must be bittersweet to transition from a neurologist you've worked with for 16 years, especially one who helped you achieve such positive results. Having 13 epileptologists nearby is a valuable resource, though.
Do you already have an epileptologist at this hospital in mind? I'm curious about what criteria you're using to select one from the 13 available options—that's quite a selection to choose from! Perhaps your neurologist could help you with some recommendations before he retires? His insights about your specific case and what has worked for you could be invaluable in finding the right fit.
Best of luck with the transition!
