I myself don't have a prob with doing that, I ask about whatever comes to mind about my condition I have, I don't hold back on asking about my health and well-being, what are your thoughts, my doctor told me that If I had any problem let her know , it was twice, and then when I called her she was really concerned in my opinion , so I'm open with her and upfront, I think even if it seems a little odd of a question being asked it maybe the one that is right one, I'm not shy about doing that… read more

You need to be honest with what triggers your episodes. Mine was high stress and anxiety.

I don't really bother asking the dr that much about epilepsy related stuff as they don't generally know detailed stuff. I do provide info about my condition to my dr and they pass it on to the Neurologist. This is the only time the conversations are more epilepsy based. Dr it's more general health based and then the dr may talk about any sub issues that come up due to the epilepsy. Blood tests, whether I can drive, med side effects ect.
