Some questions from the 25-page extra-thorough medical history form I have to fill out in order to see this new neuro:

How satisfied are you, on a scale of 1-5, with your sex life?

What are your meditation techniques?

Have you ever been treated for your seizures with acupuncture? Homeopathic medicines? Hypnosis? Meditation? Other healing methods?

How has having seizures affected what you think of yourself?

Take a few minutes now to describe yourself, your personality, and your family. Enclose a picture of yourself. Also, have your seizures interfered with your life? If so, how? In your judgment, has your personality changed since the onset of seizures?

Throwing in a curveball, they include: List 5 OTC medications you should not take if you are taking anti-epileptic drugs. (My response: no fair! I check labels! :) )

Geez, I'm never gonna finish filling this thing out (Please list all doctors you've seen in the last 10 years...)
