@davidinvegas , you have an inventory of things that you need and/or want to do, and that's a good thing. I cannot think of anything better than working with your present doctor on an approach that may work for your seizures along with consideration of Mayo as well.

I agree that a new roommate will smooth your situation with finances and compatibility, just be careful on how you select somebody, verify references and resources, and be clear about your own expectations. I don't mean to scare people away, it's just that there are plenty of people out there that could take advantage of you aren't careful. Having some questions on paper ahead of time, meeting with a third party who can serve as support, both of these things could serve you well on that front.

I think that you can work while on disability, but there are income limits that apply. It would be a good idea to check that out to avoid getting into trouble with having to pay back money or losing your eligibility. There are some jobs that encourage persons with disabilities to apply, and those can be special workplaces that you can look for in your search. Try not to worry about this too much before you take those steps like traveling on your own or building up undue anxiety in the process. Be deliberate and you will find it a bit easier, don't roll up everything into a ball of fur that has you choking on the experience.

You do well to remember the positive things in your life, I'm happy for you to realize it. Talk to your therapist about how you see things moving ahead. Have a productive and safe journey today.
