Thank you for your response. I’ve used this neurologist since 2013 and do like him but he isn’t a specialist. Not one here I don’t believe. I am going to talk to him next visit, and before I take anything else will check it out.

Good luck and stay positive, you'll get there.

Your doctor may do an EEG, one issue may be that an EEG doesn't always disclose epilepsy or other seizure disorders. Per Mayo Clinic website:

"EEG tests are used to show the presence or absence of specific brain activity in specific areas of the brain, with an accuracy within milliseconds1. However, EEG has relatively low sensitivity in epilepsy, ranging between 25–56%,"
