More props for the forum


We went to our first Epilepsy Support Group tonight at the local chapter of the Epilepsy Association, and, man are we ever better informed about E than the majority of people there.

It was a little surreal, actually. There was also one partner there besides me, and I was thinking that maybe we should start our own support group at the pub across the street. Maybe I'll talk to the advocate about that. We have our own concerns we need to talk about, without taking up time in the group.

Also the advocate is going to meet with us seprately to figure out what to do with lazydoc.

Anyhoo, this post is really just to give props to CWE for helping us be SO well informed about E. Thank you everybody!

I think that folks at CWE are better informed than a lot of the neurologists out there too...

I agree! I think the folks in this forum know more about epilepsy than 90% of the neurologists out there. I've finally gotten answers about medication, seizures, life impact and a host of other stuff. Now if we can just get those neruos to lurk around in here and learn a few extra things. Should be a mandatory part of their training and board certification, in my opinion.

Bravo! Thanks, Bernard & Stacy!
