neuro
Mon, 06/25/2007 - 17:30I plan on moving out of state to attend grad school soon. I have a great neuro here and I hate that I will be leaving him. What I was wondering though is can I still keep him as my neuro even though I won't be in the same state? When I see him all I do is tell him about how the medication is working. Why can't I just call him if I have a problem or schedule appointments with him when I come home for a visit? Does anyone else see a neuro that is not close to them?

So what you are saying is I can still keep him, but see someone else while I am gone? How do I go about getting another neuro? Do I take my records with me or does my old one send my files to him? I've only had seizures for two years so this is all new to me.

Peaches, It is a good Idea if U find a New Neuro in the area U are going to. U need to keep up with seeing a Neuro and just have him Fax your other Neuro in the other State about how U are doing. That way he can keep your records up to date when U return, when U start seeing him again. I hoped I answer your Question a little for U. Keep in touch let me know how u are doing. anniemarie65@yahoo.com, I have had epilepsy since I was 10 yrs old Iam now 42. anniemarie
