A member asked:
I've been having tias and i have absence seizures. is there any preventative or medication my last doctor should have gave me? i no longer have insurance so i can't go back to my neurologist because she is expensive.

SUGGESTIONS: You do not list where you live, but in absence of insurance, city hospitals in large cities have numerous local and outreach clinics, which are good resources. If you do have paroxysmal neurological episodes, it is truly mandatory to use preventative meds. I cannot advise you regarding approaches, but one way to address is to contact our Concierge service.
