Another rant

The thing that pisses me off most about having an EEG done is that glue the technician puts on your scalp to stick the electrodes on! When I had an EEG done this morning, it took me 3 times to shampoo my hair to get that fucking glue out! I swear, next time the doctor orders an EEG procedure to be done, I'm going to get a really short haircut a day or two in advance just so that glue won't be as difficult to come off when I shampoo my hair! 

Okay, I'm done.

Being denied dental treatment because of your epilepsy

I was diagnosed by a dentist today with 2 small cavities on my two front teeth...possibly from an old filling. Unfortunately, however, because of my epilepsy they won't give me treatment. I would have to be 6 months seizure free before they can fix the cavities and clean my teeth. I was really angry, but didn't show it.
Shit man! I'm lucky if I can even pass 2 months without having a seizure! So in the meantime, I'm stuck with small cavities and possibly never being able to get any dental treatment.
I thought ALL people had the right to get dental treatment...even those with chronic disabilities!!!
I wonder if anybody else with epilepsy has ever had this issue. And if they ever have gone 6 months without having a seizure, I'd love to know what their secrets are.
