What a horrid experience 😓 if I didn't know you were from America I'd swear you went to a hospital in the UK – literally it is as bad as that over here. I too have epilepsy and anxiety and was dismissed by my local GP SO MANY times as just having I quote "classic panic attacks" when I described my petit+mals. Basically nothing got done to help me till I had a massive fit in the bathroom and somehow survived despite knocking the actual toilet out of place. Yep. Full blown tonic clonic seizure. Then went through bed wetting when I'd have them, soiling myself , ambulances out..finally an epilepsy nurse prescribed me Keppra (here it's called something else) and within days they were under control. So I'm on the same.meds as you and trust me.i don't like taking meds but I'd rather that then thrashing about on the floor and biting my.lwn tongue in half. You have every right to feel p1ssed at the doctors, I don't blame you one bit. I'm the same..xxxx

Might be better to watch this at 1.25 cause I pause too much when I talk.
