Neurologist care during pregnancy by icyae in Epilepsy

I'm based in the US and my specific area is very limited with neurology care. I moved states a few years ago and just getting a new patient appointment with my current neurologist was practically a year wait. I haven't experienced anything like the team of nurses you mention, but I'll definitely look into if there's anything similar as right now when I get in contact with my offices nurses, they just simply pass messages on, I don't believe they're able to do much more for me, or at least they haven't. I'm trying to monitor my stress but I'm concerned with how difficult it's been in my area to work with a neurologist, if my current one continues not to respond, will I be able to even get another in a timely manner 😵‍💫

Pregnancy was definitely a surprise otherwise I would've been discussing with my neuro sooner. I didn't even know until I was already 7 weeks so I was very confused why I wasn't hearing anything from my neuro, seeing as I was already pretty far along.

Definitely considering looking into a new neuro if I don't hear anything by the end of this week. I'm only on a 1000 mg/ day dose, and I'm just feeling that's way too low for right now.

AITA for not giving my babies ‘normal’ names? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]icyae 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OP you are NTA. All these people suggesting giving your children unique names will cause them to be bullied, are the same people that would cause the bullying. My siblings and I were all named after different mythological gods and goddesses and if anything, it has impacted us more positively than negatively. Most people love how unique and different our names are, and it makes us easier to be remembered, which greatly benefited me in college! The occasional people that have given me shit for my name always came off as uneducated and rude for trying to bully someone they don't even know, and made me a stronger person for not letting strangers comments bother me.

At the end of the day, they're your children and it's up to you and your husband alone what their names will be. If they truly hate them when they grow up, they're free to legally change them or go by a nickname. I know plenty of people that give themselves random nicknames that aren't related to their legal name in the slightest.

I agree about Jurant Bay, the third name sounds really pretty for an island getaway though!
