My magnet is strapped to wrist, like a watch, I do not use the clip.
I was due to have my 8 monthly check up with the neuro at the beginning.of April I had a text to say it would be a phone consultation This was so much easier than the usual face to face which usually involves m husband having to do a 30 miles round trip with me ,park miles away from the hospital climb 4 flights of stairs ( don't like lifts ) I have ' complex epilepsy' & I'm got much more from the phone consultation Anyone else found these phone consultations useful ?
I feel during the duration of confinement that the consultation is good by phone until the restrictions are lifted for personal contact with outside persons. If you are going to be in contact with… read more

I've got complex partial seizures with identified abnormality in my temporal lobe. Seizures are focal so my neurologist said surgery is an option I should consider, but I'm pretty scared and not sure it is worth it.

Im not sure about the process of… read more
I used to be in management. I got the Position before my diagnosis, but lost it when the company was bought out. I live in an at will state so they just let me go. I totally understand that I couldn't legally do the job due to most of the work being driving all around Washington State managing demolition crews. But now, I am at a loss. I lost the job in April, and haven't been able to find any employment that would accommodate my disability. I am tired and refuse to spend any more time stressing… read more
