I Need To Clear Up A Few Things About My Epilepsy, I See My Normal Doctor 2 Times A Year, And My Normal Doctor Takes Care Of This.

I need to clear up a few things about my epilepsy, I see my normal doctor 2 times a year, and my normal doctor takes care of this, I don't go to a doctor only for that. I've been seizure free for 45 years and plan to keep it that way

Hiya I've been seizure free for 25years now had a seizure 25years ago when my Dr thought it would be a good idea to lower my meds by half since before that it had been 40 years. I don't use a neurologist I only have my primary. I have started lowering one of my meds ( primidone) with great success.

I'm so glad that you've reached 45 years on no seizures.
Clearly your General Practitioner has "treated" you well?πŸ’œ

I'm so sorry. I've had some of the more negative experiences. More than once my mom had taken me to exorcists. Teachers infront of class would cast demons out of me ect.. I have hD this for 60 years
