Hi, @chynex - I see that you mentioned this was your fiance who is going to go to Mayo Clinic for seizures. Congratulations. When is your wedding?

You might also like to meet @dawn_giacabazi and also @rachelskaug and @patrassi, who have been to Mayo Clinic for themselves or a loved one's seizures. @jenniferhunter was at Mayo Clinic for a different neurologic condition, but may be able to speak to how her experience went there.

About his seizures, wondering if you'd share how often he is having seizures? What are his seizures like?

Thanks @Lisa. --- My wedding date will soon be fixed by God's grace. But we want to find the solution to the seizures first which is the most important thing that is bothering everyone.
He was diagnosed of Absence seizure. It occurs to him once in a month or two months, whenever he is stressed up. It happened to him when he was still a kid. According to what the mother told me, their Nanny pushed him as a result of anger he fall down and hit his forehead on the big chair. From there, he started having convulsions. It wasn't easy anyway. The whole thing is scary.
Based on this type of seizure (absence ), it is better we manage it with medications or surgery. I'm afraid of this memory issues because he is a lecturer and likes his job with passion. So that after, he can still maintain his work. Which one is better to manage with a lecturing job? Please any advice/suggestion on this?
