I went to my appointment today. The doctor was nice, he was older and one of thoes old fashion doctors.
So basically all he did I do a physical exam, witch he said was normal, but he didn't have a little problem getting a reflex from my left knee, he moved my foot still didn't work then moved my foot again and got it but it wasn't that big, it was small. He didn't say anything else about it. What could this mean?
I gave him my seizure tracking log, witness reports, report from when I was a baby from the hospital I went to saying all information about the brain problems I had, and a list of the main seizures and what sytomes apply to me.
He want to see me in 6 weeks so July 30 at 10:00am to see how I'm doing.
He still wants me to take my Keppra and gave me 3 more refills, no other doctor has done that so far, I only get about a one months supply. Is this a good thing or a bad thing he did this? When they do that are they thinking there real because if he didn't think they were real or faked he woulnt have gave me the refills right? Sorry, just so many doctors think there faked or non epileptic.
He also told me to be careful about showering and stuff.
He also wanted me to sign a paper saying its ok for him to get the lab, reports, brain scan reports, and the diagnositic report from the hospital I was at. I didn't want to sign the paper beause I wanted him to do his own work and not base his diagnosis of of that report. (but I did sign the paper)
All the papers i handed him today, they were, seizure tracking log, witness report from both my husband and a few friends, a hospital report from when I was a baby saying stuff about what brain injuires I had, and a letter from my psych. Can he just make a diagnosis From thoes paper? I hope so
One more thing all the test (brain scans,EEG,ekgs,lab, etc) came back normal except one were it said that there was brain waves that looked like suspicious epileptic activity. They did another one and it said that a longer one should be done. I did the longer one and I think it came back normal to.
So that was pretty much it. I hope I get some answers
