I think it is important to have someone with you. Especially someone who knows about your epilepsy, experiences your seizures and knows you. You should keep control as much as possible. Over the years my husband has taken over with doctors and now I feel I don’t say very much because my husband is more articulate than me so the doctor looks to him and I am rarely given a chance to explain myself. I may be a bit slower but I can still think and have opinions it just seems to be forgotten about.
The best thing I do is to make a list and prioritise what needs to be said.
