Massachusetts General Hospital-2nd opinion

Wed, 05/09/2007 - 11:10
I am seeing a Dr. Andrew Cole at Massachusetts General Hospital at the beginning of June. He was recommneded to me by "gretat" here on this forum. I was told by the secretary to bring all EEG reports AND the actual recordings. Is there anything else that I can bring with me to aide the Epileptologist in my appointment?

thanks Shelly! I am looking forward to this visit only because I want a diagnosis one way or another. If it turns out to be something other than TLE then I can at least start treatment for that whatver. I just want to start feeling better, you know? I appreciate your help and may end up emailing you with some more specific questions. thanks again, pamela

I understand the feeling of wanting to only to feel better that was the way I was when I went to the hospital and I am obviously getting to that point. I am at the point of recovering and hoping that the surgery will help to fix my problems even if I do have to stay on the meds. But feel free to email me when ever you want. If you look at my personal information you will find my email. Good luck and keep me updated.
