I've been without a neurologist or epitologist for over a year do to the COVID crud my primary Care has like myself been trying to get me into a neurologist. But as of yet no goal.
This is my biggest problem in regards to neurologists/epileptologists. I was seeing a local neurologist in a small town and I couldn't see where he was doing me any good. I'd go in. He'd look at… read more
