Hi Roy!
I just finished reading the entire article this morning. The piece provides an excellent broad overview of epilepsy that would be incredibly valuable for anyone recently diagnosed with this condition. Thank you so much for sharing it.
One sentence that particularly captured my attention was:
"No two individuals experience epilepsy the same way, but one truth remains: With the right support, information, and action, life can get better."
This echoes what my doctor has repeatedly emphasized to me—that individualized treatment is absolutely fundamental to achieving successful outcomes.
Have a wonderful weekend!
Chris

@santosha I may have responded to you already (you know this short term memory stuff), but your reply above is more important to me now. My neurologist is retiring after our 16 year working relationship. He's gotten me seizure free as of 16 months ago, out of 25+ years of seizures. I'm having difficulty finding a replacement for him. Been communicating with his PA and she advised that a young neurologist will take his place. Asking if I can visit with this new neurologist only to introduce myself during my next and last visit with my present (who is retiring) and she replied "he is pretty busy and may not have time" (sounds promising doesn't it ... a freshmen doctor that has no time to say hello). I uncovered what is know in the industry as a "Transfer of Care" procedure that a present doctor can use to refer a present patient to another doctor. I went this route with my present neurologist and he's sent this doc and my file to an Epileptologist. Hope to hear from her soon. I recommend those in our Group learn more about the Transfer of Care info.
