For about the past year or so, I had started realizing that I was kind of in the dark about a number of things about my epilepsy. I had maintained copies of letters that my epileptologist had sent to other people when I requested him to notify them of things or to explain my issues. I was really looking at them along with remembering alot of my problems over the years as I have come upon the decision that I need to know every single thing possible about my disorder. One of these reasons is due to the local physicians and the ER doctors in the city I live seem to have absolutely no clue about epilepsy at all and the only doctors that do are the ones that personally know the doctors at the epilepsy centers.
Anyways, I have even come to realize that none of my family quite understand it and treat it like it is no worse than something such as medical issues that are easily controlled or cured. With the load they put me on, I need to somehow explain to them what is going on as even this week my psychiatrist got on me about it and so did the epilepsy center as they do each time I see the.
So I have been trying to research all I can, however to find any kind of scholarly articles or information is very tough as what I am able to find uses terms that pretty much requires a doctor to understand, it is easy enough to look up the definition of each word, but when used with others doesn't quite seem to be understood well. I have purchased some books, however books that are in terms that are easy to understand are generally very vague too, and what I would like to know are the details and theories. I know that epilepsy is not very well understood, but even information on it seems to be avoided.
The epileptologist is sending me some info over my history and going to try to be as easy to understand as possible, but I know there will be alot of terminology to figure out
Does anyone know of any good sights or places to locate this kind of info that does not cost an arm and a leg as I know google scholar requires you to pay and so do all the online libraries.
