Diagnosis: Probably epilepsy
blah blah blah other stuff/past history etc. The last bit is a load of mumbo jumbo to me to be honest.
Impression: (Which im guessing is basically what she thinks)
Blackouts are descriptive of generalized seizures though I think the frequency is a little atypical (which I googled coz I had no idea what it meant) therefore at present I have classed this as probable epilepsy. I have requested an MRI and an EEG (is there any point on 200mg of lamortigine a day? even if something was there would it still show up? the seizures have calmed down since i started going up in dose). I have instructed her to titrate (i have no idea what that means) up lamotrigine to 100mg twice a day. Follow up in 4 months after tests to diagnose.
So, what i Gather from this, is neurologists speak in a different language to us lesser human beings. And she thinks its Epilepsy (should have seen my face drop when i read it in black and white)
ps, the bits in ( ) are basically my input to the letter, and are not written by her
