has anyone's neurologist said that they're "not disabled" once they hit 12 months without a seizure?

I recently hit 12 months seizure free, and my neurologist said they'll no longer consider me "disabled" by my epilepsy which has left me feeling pretty down. I already really struggled with accepting that my epilepsy is a lifelong disability, then my neurologist said i'd no longer be considered "disabled" by my epilepsy which has left me feeling pretty weird??

epilepsy has taken so many things from me, like my career, memory, functional capacity and ability to do lots of activities I once enjoyed. it feels pretty disabling to me 😭

(I have focal epilepsy with tonic-clonic seizures, I'm on 2000mg keppra daily, this is the only dose of keppra where I haven't had a single seizure)

sending huge hugs to you all, epilepsy is so darn cruel 🫂

I did the diploma of health science through LTCA a few years ago, I went straight into a bachelor of nursing then social work, both I had to drop out of due to health reasons. I'm feeling ready to go back to either studying or a career in health

for those who've done the diploma of health science, what careers or other study have you done using the diploma? I have no idea what I should be doing...

I'd rather go into employment or use my credits in another area of study, but I need some insight on how to use my diploma

hello r/Melbourne!

I've recently come across a telehealth chronic illness specialising clinic called Biio, I can't seem to find any genuine sounding reviews about this clinic and thought I'd ask if anyone's used them before?

It seems they're based in SA, but specialise in many different chronic illnesses via telehealth. I'm on multiple years-long waitlists for specialists here in Melbourne to investigate chronic conditions :')

If any of y'all have gone through Biio, I'm keen to hear actual reviews and know if I should save my $$$ 🫪
