My Epileptologist in MD is my buddy! My new one is nice but if I had a problem, my friend in MD tells me what to do! I decided that have him for my Dr. Again!

Please do! Even read up on it. I never heard of hyponatremia until I had routine blood work done. One never knows the havoc epilepsy meds plays on our bodies.
