RE: [epilepsy] Some advice wanted on my seizure yesterday

 

Hi Andy

Well I have not put it off, I am living in another country
and because I have not had a review since 1997 it is well
over due and as my epilepsy is changing I asked the doctor
about it and he sorted it. It's only a matter of asking.

Regards

Adrien

I wish our Jane had been able to have a review. It was
something she
put off, and put off...
