Neurologist,  's  Response
Hi,

Thank you for posting your query.

You are suffering from epilepsy and cognitive disturbances (secondary to epilepsy and medications).

You need to consult a neurologist for evaluation and treatment (correct choice of drugs and dosage). Next time, when you visit your doctor, take your fiancee along with you, so that the doctor can explain regarding your illness to him.

Best wishes,
Dr Sudhir Kumar MD DM (Neurology)
Senior Consultant Neurologist
