Re: [epilepsy] Ep interviews

Millie,

About a year ago, my neurologist wanted to be in a study program like that for a medicine that had not been approved by the fda yet. The papers I got with it said some people would get the medicine and some would get a placebo,you wouldn't know whether you were getting it or not. They wanted me to come every week and have bloodwork done and other tests done. That is 3 hours from where I live and I couldn't do all of those trips. I don't blame you for not doing it,since your seizures are so well controlled. Mine aren't, but I still wouldn't do it. Take care.
