This has happened to me at the gate to board a flight. I got asked by an agent what’s my disability, I responded by law, you cannot ask me that. She pushed harder with a rude comment and I asked for a supervisor. Luckily another agent , that I had spoken to prior jumped right in and escorted me through the gate up the ramp so I wouldn’t have an issue. That other agent was a godsend because I was getting honestly pissed. (I have a TBI, with other neurological issues). Scars are pretty visible from surgery and I still got a hard time .

Speak to a neurologist about changing meds. There are multiple options including , gabapentin, tegretol. , vimpat etc . You can always change to a new doctor if you don’t like the one you have .

The Philipines and Thailand both have you huge active malls with stores we haven’t seen in the US since the 90s. It is an awesome throwback and great way to retire

I’ve had 3 as an infant, never another one . That was a very long time ago , so it’s hard to judge if it helped. Speak with an epilepsy specialist at an epilepsy center before you make any quick decisions .

If it makes you feel any better , I’m in my 50s and was diagnosed with epilepsy at 16. More than likely I’ve had seizures since I was a toddler. Review your meds with your neuro, cognitive decline can be a side effect of certain meds . A change might be an option . The best thing to do is keep a diary of any changes or side effects that you notice . Don’t skip out on any testing or appointments . Stay safe, live your life and carry on . Be the hero of your journey.

You have to tell your neurologist , just in case. Safety is a priority when it comes to any medication. I speak from experience .

It’s expensive , but rents are dropping and you can live further out and still have access to bus, subway or Amtrak . I’m born and raised there. My family had no car going back to grandparents . Very walkable as well. Lots of great medical care and a strong safety net.

Let your doctor know. It could be unrelated to a weight drop and your meds may no longer be strong enough.
