No, they think it’s an old head injury. I can’t even use NyQuil.

I have finally gotten to see a doctor at the University of Virginia Seizure Center and he wants to do an MRI and something else.
I’m arguing with the insurance company now trying to get them to approve it.
The insurance company said that I haven’t had a recent head trauma then it isn’t covered. Also since any head trauma was at least 1 year past it isn’t life threatening so it isn’t covered.

They are actually afraid that testing will show brain damage that can be corrected by surgery.
If that is found then they will be on the hook for the surgery.

I wish it was something correctable because the meds really suck the energy out of me.
The level of meds needed to control the seizures carry the risk liver damage as well.

Oh well, such is life.
The last drink I had was when I ran across an old friend.
We went to a bar and worked on their DeWars stock (his favorite) and dented one bottle pretty badly.
Good times.

I am sorry to hear it. Glad that last drink was spent so well. Here’s to hoping this abysmal crap we are seeing with insurance is corrected so you can get the help you deserve.
