"Having 3 seizures and being told I had epilepsy"

About: Community Services (Adult Physical Health) / Specialist Epilepsy Service

(as the patient),

I was very upset and worried at first wondering why I was having seizures and not remembering what had happened or why it was happening to me.

After getting diagnosed with epilepsy the epilepsy nurses where fantastic explaining things to me how to take my medication and having empathy and showing me that they were there for me when ever I needed them. It made me feel more at ease know that I could call them whenever I needed them. I also liked the fact that they called me to check in on me, which ive not had this kind of care before.

Thank you for your care and being there when I needed you, its been very much appreciated.
