RE: [epilepsy] Transportation Question

that trip your doctor - wants you to make, is an sounds - well-over 400 miles.
can be nearly 8 to 10 hours of time, thou: you have to find a near-by hotel?
or are checked-in to the medical place or hospital?
still: check with you're insurance - they can find you transportation.

I know it's not the best and most direct method, but have you checked out the bus. I have used Megabus to make in state trips in Texas, I believe that they have routes in Florida. Sometimes it's not the most direct route, and takes some extra time, but it might get you there. How long are they expecting the tests to take? Would an overnight stay or two be possible.



Hope this helps,

Hi.. I was wondering if anyone here has had the problem which I am have right now.



I have been having seizures for years, and am on Disability for the past 2 years.



My neurologist wants to send me from Orlando to Gainesville for further testing (within the next few days).



Obviously, I no longer have a license, car or any other method of transportation to get there. Even Amtrak has no routes that would help.



Has anyone here been in this situation before? And if so, what was the solution?



Thanks,

Vinnie
