Hi everyone hope you all OK I am just posting on here as I am a bit confused I got diagnosed last November and have been to see my nurologist every 6 to 8 weeks I’m in first stage but I recently received a letter the nurologist had written to my local doctors surgery explaining what we had discussed and he has put on that I will get an appointment in 6 to 8 weeks to see a epilepsy nurse that’s what’s confused me as I don’t have epilepsy is that just the done thing or do you think it was a typing error as this is still all new to me im not sure how it works he said I have got occipital neuralgia (I think I’ve spelt that right) but still don’t see how a epilepsy nurse could help with that I am just wanting to no does anyone else have to go to a epilepsy nurse x
Epilepsy is completely different to MS. Although I know that some drugs used in epilepsy are used for MS, Gabapentin for example.
If I were you I would ring your neuro’s secretary as she/he may be able to let you know if it was a typo or ask your neuro and call you back.
I was a medical secretary for many years and I would be able to sus out what the Prof I worked with meant by his scribbled notes. Give that a go I would.
Good luck.

Yeah I might though it was strange maybe just a typo x thankyou for your reply I will give them a call tomorrow and see what they say x x
