Hi Southie,
I read the info. you posted regarding a Level 4 Epilepsy Center and found that the one I was at was listed. They never told me it was a Level 4 Epilepsy Center they just called it an Epilepsy Center.
I find it strange that the Drs. can't answer your questions. I've never had any problems with the Drs. answering any of my questions and they have always given me good detail.
You might want to ask your Dr. to do detailed tests like I had done, veeg, wada test, neuropsych testing, visusal field tests, spect scan, and pet scan. I was amazed at the detail all these tests showed. What really surprised me was how the wada test was able to tell the exact cause of my sz. and why they happen. For yrs. we were told it was from lack of oxygen at birth but the wada test showed that it happened before I was born and my Grandfather passed away this caused great trauma to my mom which in turn made to many brain cells go to the right side of the brain causing a scar on the RTL. Take my word it's helpful if you write down any questions you want to ask your Dr. and then just ask one right after another when you see the Dr. and if you don't like being on a lot of med tell your Dr. and they won't load you up with some many AED's. Here's wishing you well and May God Bless You!
