I have my husband to thank for all of this. My mother took me to our family doctor and to a specialist once after I was diagnosed. When we moved to Norfolk after our marriage, the first thing he did was have me examined. During that diagnosis, I learned that the dosage of dilantin that I had been on since childhood was a child's pill. The dosage was changed, but it did no good.

@psychogranny As I said before...you have been to some excellent facilities, but....how do you feel about your neurologist now? I'm a Granny and will be 83 shortly...I remember Dilantin in the 1950s; I was treated by a wonderful epileptologist at Children's Hospital in Boston, Dr. Lombroso. It still took a while to get the meds balanced with my system. There are so many improvements in the anticonvulsants available today. But, if you feel your neurologist or epileptologist is doing all he can.....if not, I would go to the Mayo Clinic.💞
