Eventually, Even I Have Good luck!

I have been waiting for about two years now for my seizure doctors to believe me in the fact that I don’t have seizures anymore. (I’m not on medication or anything) I can look at cop car lights and nothing happens, I’ve even watched the movie Avatar if you’ve seen it you would know that its enough to make a person have a seizure if they have them anymore. Its been over two years and I haven’t had one.

Every year I have to get a paper signed by my doctor, Doctor Weiss, with his “permission” to be able to drive. Well this year I had 2 choices. #1.Take medication and then he would sign the papers. [cheapest medication i found without insurance was $50.00 for one month supply] (Why would I take the medication if I have been fine without it for so long???) or #2. Get a take home 24 hour EEG done. {a lovely cost of $850.00 without insurance} Which would you do? Well I knew I didn’t have seizures anymore, so why not just prove it with the EEG? There is the chance that yes I could be wrong but I just thought it would be better in the chance I did pass.

Well, ladies and gentlemen…..drum roll please….. :) I PASSED THE EEG! (In case you couldn’t already tell!) I now only have to get a paper signed in four years, just so he can check in and make sure everything is doing the same! Four years, I am so excited! To top it all off when I got the bill in the mail there was a “special program adjustment” of $369.00 and now I only owe $481.00, which is totally worth it for the freedom!

A big thank-you to everyone for supporting me and pushing me to take the test! And a very big thank-you to Carl because without you I would’ve went into a mental stress down and probably caused a glitch in the test results!
