I've been having really bad seizures for over two years now, and this department pushed me back and forth saying "it could be diabetic" or "it could be a thyroid problem" all the meanwhile saying that it definitely wasn't epilepsy - all this was BEFORE having any tests.
Then I had a string of MRI, EEG and ECG and had one neurologist thought it was a possibility that I was epileptic and I'd be written to for another appointment.
I went two years ignored after this. I never got that next appointment despite having my doctor write to them a number of times.
Now my fits are bad again and they've "lost" all of my paperwork and I have to go through the first fit clinic again.
It's a joke and I'm suffering every day because of it.
"Two Years and counting."
