Can You Set Up A New Prorogram
A MyEpilepsyTeam Member asked a question 💭

I have an idea for a new program called Epilepsy Dating. Why not create a program so single epileptic members can meet others? They can search to meet a person of the same or oposite sex, provide a profile , photo and message. Many epileptic members have a hard time living alone.

Autoimmune Part Of My Epilepsy...
A MyEpilepsyTeam Member asked a question 💭

It's a little confusing that the doctor suggested 4 treatment options and the first and second one just got denied by my insurance. I know the next request will be 2 pills a day so will see how that request goes. At least this clinic is handling the request with my insurance company. The previous one, I had to do everything. Sure makes it not as stressful even though the have gotten denied so far.

A MyEpilepsyTeam Member asked a question 💭

Hello, I was wondering if there is a way that I can have a doctor help my son so he can try epidolex, many seizure medications make him feel sick due to a genetic disorder he has, but a few neurologists I have asked often dismiss epidolex or say he doesn't have the type of seizure that it helps. thanks for reading this, my family and I greatly appreciate your time and concern.

My epilepsy is due to a TBI, which involved facial trauma. I'm sure that has contributed to it. I do wonder if epilepsy plays a role.

Any Epileptic Patients Who Dealt W Health Ins Coverage For Broken Teeth? Being Told I Can Only Choose ONE, Meds & Treatment OR Teeth Fixed?
A MyEpilepsyTeam Member asked a question 💭

Trying to find help and resources for repairing my teeth that I’ve broken due to all my seizures. Dentist gave me an estimate of four thousand! I’m beginning to feel really frustrated at the lack of dental coverage someone with epilepsy has in the state of California! 😔 I don’t understand why the damage and injuries from a seizure are not covered with the same insurance that’s providing my medication, or providing my disability, whichever the case you would think they go hand-in-hand, right?
