I was so nervous about my Dr. visit today, because in the last two visits, she had insisted that my seizures were worse than I thought.

She was insisting on me being a 3th medic. to be SEIZURE FREE.

I told her, that that was the mind set that the Neur. at Emory had, and at 1st. I agree, then the many diff. medic. DID IN FACT HAVE ME SIEZURE FREE, but left me with NO quality of life and that I refused to go that route again, expeecially since my seizures are under control to the point that I can live with it.

SHE SAID SHE WOULD NOT INSIST ON TRYING ANOTHER MEDIC.

I asked that she allow the compound phar. to go ahead with the vitamins I'm needing. SHE SAID OK.

I know I'm sounding like a nut, but I couldn't wait to get home and share this with you all.

I wanted to share this also with the new ones at CWE, so that can have hope. I didn't think I had the right to say those things to a DR. but being in this forum I have leaned that I had that right.

Thank you all

Good for you! Sometimes it's hard to remember that our doctors work for us and need to respect our opinions.
