Welcome to the forum,I signed up the other day after finding this board on another one of the forums that I regularly post in.
I was diagnosed back in 1993 & have been on Dilantin ever since.It's no fun having to be faced with medical restrictions & having to spend a lot of time & money every couple of months getting medication refills.I swear last time I went in for a Dilantin level check in January that lab tech really made a pin cushion outta me & my arm was really sore & a bit bruised as well from that experience.
Having the disorder has also really put a damper on my social life as well.Since I can't drive,or work I hardly get outside,and being a single guy in my early 30's that makes it next to impossible to meet anyone special if you know what I mean.
I've really become majorly depressed over that over the last couple weeks & am now in the process of getting some help for it,just what I need is to be stuck in yet another doctor's office once a week,and possibly placed on more medication in addition to what I'm already on LOL but I know that,in the end it's for the best.
I'm also stressed out over the problems I've been having with regards to my application for social security benefits....I was told after sending in the paperwork that I simply don't qualify & have since resubmitted my application for at least supplemantal security income,which I was told that I might at least qualify for but still have yet to recieve any response from them about it.
