Re: Some news from me
Thank you so much for your kind words @independent_ it definitely feels very bittersweet! I'll be away the end of this week and mostly all of next week but then I'll be back around the last 2ish weeks of the year so you'll definitely see me around.
Right back at you too - I hope everything goes well for you as well! Those Sunday chats often make my week and also leave me feeling very hungry !

Re: im back
Thanks for the nice words @Katie and @sinead276 and thanks everyone who hugged my post you're making me feel welcome. Anyway, I plan to be fully back before Christmas as I am currently thinking the days leading up to Christmas and the day itself will be stressful for me, which is one of the reasons I came back now instead of later. I'll probably be fully back fairly soon for that reason.
Re: im back
It is nice to see you again @so_very_tired . It’s completely okay to take the time you need as there is no rush at all. Even if you’re only able to be here a little, your presence matters more than you know. We’re glad you’re here, and we’re here to support you however you need.

Re: Conditions affecting my life.
sending you the biggest of hugs @Animalloverb - all those conditions sure does sound like a LOT to deal with, and the fact that you do shows us all just how strong of a person you are, and for that you should be so so proud of yourself.
it sounds incredibly frustrating that you aren't being listened to about your epilepsy the way you want and need - and whilst i may not be the best for advice, all i can say is keep fighting for your opinion to be heard as you know yourself best, and hopefully the doctors and you can come up with some type of solution that works better for you.
but once again i'm so proud of you
