My experience-Neurologist now thinks I have epilepsy...

---

This is really just me venting. I waited three months to see a different neurologist than the one I had been going to who diagnosed me with vestibular migraines. I wanted a second opinion and my brother recommended this new neurologist saying he was a migraine specialist. In reality he is an epilepsy specialist. After describing my symptoms to him he said everything I described was weird and sounded like epilepsy. This primarily came from the fact that on some occasions the attacks I get include me getting very dizzy and feeling tingling sensations in my arms and legs. He now wants me to schedule a date when I can be checked in to the hospital to have them monitor me with an EEG and he's asked for another MRI.

I'm honestly at my wits end but I would hate to keep wasting money and time on tests that will more than likely only show that I have chronic vestibular migraines. The next step is botox or one of the new CGRP meds. But I've already taken Nurtec and had a weird response to it so I'm a little hesitant to try any more of these CGRP meds.

I also just scheduled a remote consultation with the Texas Migraine Clinic. Their services are charged entirely out of pocket and my insurance will not cover it. The testimonials all speak very highly of the services they offer but because it's not covered by my insurance it still feels like a huge gamble.

After being on a two week long attack I feel like I can't even think straight. Anyone had their neurologist suspect epilepsy?
