Hrm, I can see why you'd want to avoid the neurologist at all costs if you're without insurance. They're pricey, especially given how many tests they run. I did 3-4 tests in the ER that I never EVER want to know the actual price on.
One thing I do have is um, well, I've been lovingly calling it The Ass Gel. It's to be used in case I have a seizure that lasts over 5 minutes, or if I have early warning seizure signs. Now that I've reached the 6 month mark, chances are pretty low that I'll have another one. I'd like to hang on to both until after the Small One gets here (since I'm having him/her at home, I'll need it just in case, since I won't be plugged in to an IV for easy drug access.), but after that, I'd be happy to send you one of my two kits. I can always get more by going back to a neurologist if I really need to.
*hugs* I'm sorry this happened to you. Seizures suck ass.
