Maive,
I'm glad to hear you are going to get in with a civilian doctor. where do you live? Do you know of one near you who specializes?
I know the feeling on the drugs. It feels like nothing ever has before....my mind is numb half the time.
I hope you find answers, and if you need some emotional support, I'm here for you!

Hi Maive,
I am so sorry to hear you are having such problems. I know how frightening it can be when you get the diagnosis. It must be even more frightening when the doctor does not give you any information. I'm not sure how the military hospitals work, but I would suggest that you go back to the doctor, "demand" more information. If that doesn't get you what you need, I would ask to speak to a superior. They have to report to someone.
There are a lot of places you can go on the internet to get information on epilepsy. This forum is an excellent place to get the emotional support you need. I know it has helped me just reading what others have gone through. There are many wonderful people that offer support, advice, reference resources, and compassion. You are not alone!
I don't know what else I can offer to you, but am more than willing to talk to you and let you know that someone cares.
