[QUOTE="Kathy813, post: 637771, member: 1967"] Oh, I have my doubts, too. She is claiming that no rehab or halfway house will take her due to the epilepsy. First of all, wouldn't Hippa protect her from even having to tell them? Also, according to her story, any addict or alcoholic that has epilepsy would never be able to get treatment. Sounds fishy to me. She is using someone else's phone to send me texts. Her latest is that if she is alone when she has a seizure she could die. Considering that this is from someone that threatens suicide every other day and regularly mixes alcohol and benzos without any concerns about what that could do to her, her sudden worries about dying seem rather opportune. Her therapist has still not called me. I have a call into my therapist and I am waiting to hear back. I want to ask both of them if there could be any validity to difficult child's claims that she couldn't get into treatment with a medical concern like epilepsy. Thinking back, difficult child did have a seizure when she was in the psychiatric hospital about 6 months ago. At the time, we attributed it to sudden cessation of her beloved Xanax. husband sent her an email saying that we don't believe anything she says due to her history and that he would need to see the paperwork with the diagnosis and recommendations for treatment. He also asked her what medications she has been prescribed to manage the seizures. He hasn't gotten a response from her yet. [/QUOTE]
