Hi everyone I'm Cynthia I'm 21 and just got diagnosed with epilepsy. It's very hard for me at the moment. I can't seem to find help I can't get a doctor to see me without insurance and unfortunately the seizures are getting worse especially that I get them in my sleep and have no control. I'm starting not to remember anything right after the seizures is over. Doctors at the emergency room all have different opinions and can't tell me if it's normal or not. My vision is getting worse and unfortunately I am hearing impaired and that is getting worse. If anyone can please take the time and talk to me explaining how I can get help to see a neurologist and how the deal with epilepsy please feel free it's a very scary thing for my fiancé and I and we are trying to stay strong and come to terms with this.
