Since my inpatient EEG I've (I hate to use this word) only had two or three seizures, compared to the seven or eight I was having every week, so things are settling down at the moment.
I saw my neurologist yesterday, and he gave the OK for me to return to work. The whole appointment was a little unsettling, especially when I brought work up. I explained to him that my short term disability claim was closed, and that long term would be denied, since I have a pre-existing condition.
He was silent at first, and sounded a little hesitant when he said I could go back part time to, in his words, "test the waters" until my next appointment with him, which is a couple days before Christmas.
Don't get me wrong, I'm glad I'm able to get back to work. I'm nervous though, because I think that work stress is a big trigger for me (I work at a credit union call center). And with the holidays just around the corner, stress levels always go through the roof.
He did refer me to a psychiatrist, and yet again changed on my diagnosis which makes things more difficult for me.
