Patient Experience & Approach
Epilepsy patients who tried everything say the medication approach here was different and careful. People with unexplained weakness or numbness mention that the EMG testing finally pinpointed which nerve was damaged when previous MRIs showed nothing. Parkinson’s patients say the medication gets tweaked gradually as symptoms evolve, instead of getting a fixed prescription that never changes, even as the disease progresses.
