Well, you could ask your epileptologist for a neuro recommendation, sort of as a backup for when you have questions or problems when he's not available (which doesn't sound like very often!)
Also, here are some tips I conjured up for getting the most of doc visits (because they ARE short!)
Be prepared! Bring your daily seizure diary with you (documenting your sleep patterns, eating habits, activities, changes in your normal life/routine, auras, dreams, how you feel before, during and after a seizure, how long it lasts, etc.) All of this can help bring your doc up to date on what's going on with you.
If you can, bring along a family member or friend for a second pair of ears, to help describe your seizures or to take notes during the visit. Sometimes it's difficult to soak up all the information. Plus, they may remember something that you missed or forgot.
Let your doc know how you’re responding to your current medications. Be sure to share your concerns about any side effects, drug reactions, behavior changes, physical changes, trouble sleeping, loss of memory, or even brain fog. Accurate reporting will help you and your doctor make decisions together about whether you need to up your AED, change or supplement it with something else.
Prepare a list of questions in advance to help you make the most of your time with your doctor. List your questions and the doctor’s answers from most important to least important in case time runs out.
Be persistent in asking your questions until you fully understand the explanation. If you don’t understand a diagnosis or treatment, ask more questions — take more notes.
Make sure you understand the script and whether name brand or generic will make a difference for you. And make sure you know exactly what the doctor wants you to do before you leave the office.
And finally, ask about follow-up and get a contact number so if you happen to think of more questions, or forgot something the doctor said, you can call the office immediately and request the information.
This is what I do with my husband and he does for me. And it works like a charm. Our docs even appreciate our "being prepared." (Well, sort of!)
