Anywho, most of the time mine are mingraines. I guess their current thought process is im suffering from "migralepsy" and this could potentially help out both the migraines and the "seizures." Its funny how they dont listen to me about the seizures, but now all of a sudden they think im suffering from this. Also comical is how they said my MRI was clear, but this new neurologist claims the MRI proves this would help. When I questioned them on the phone, they wouldnt answer me and said we would talk at the consult if WC accepts it. Ugh, what does that even mean?!
I swear, some of these neurologists must have brain damage far worse than any of us for their thought processes to switch so quickly on a dime.
