Re: [epilepsy] Re: Getting your Memory Back

 

I've had 3 tests...once when I was first diagnosed as a teen, then 2 in my 20's. The first told me about a learning disability I didn't know about, which was helpful. The next gave me an update, and in the 3rd, my IQ actually went up.

The tests are very helpful I've found. I know i'm terrible at spacial stuff, but creative writing I'm strong.

IQ is just a number.
