Oh man. Trust me I get it everytime I see my broter shaking on the floor after hitting something and likely losing blood from a cut. I'm there, I totally get it.
I've had epilepsy since I was 13yrs old. I'm 52. I know when I'm going to get 1 thank God. Now I get about 2 a yr as to yrs ago I was getting several a month. Praying for all of us who suffer from epilepsy 🙏
Mine began in my late 20s. I used to manage a big landscaping company. Now I'm 31 with no memory, and they say it won't come back. I lost it nearly 2 years ago. Nobody else may reply, but I truly appreciate the prayers.
May you continue to touch the lives of many, bringing healing and hope to those who need it most. You are a true hero in the medical field, and I feel truly blessed to have had the opportunity to be your patient.Thanks for curing my epilepsy permanently ❤❤❤❤❤
I am so glad I found this video. I am currently going through a situation where my son might have to go through surgery for seizures related to a lesion on the brain. You explained the treatment and the condition clearly. Thank you!
I am down for the vns as after 14 years of trying every med in the book I started having seizures clusters I am in the marvellous care of professor Marcus reuber in Sheffield and got every faith he will make me better or give me some quality of life back !
Wow I have alot to learn since I've just been diagnosed with it last week since I was rushed to the er. I have to talk to my Dr first to delve into what kind of epilepsy I have before making any decisions. But these options are good to know about.
My daughter has had a sensitive digestive system since birth, with no allergies. Because she feels nauseous often she avoids eating, and will choose junk food to eat when she does eat. She started having seizures at age 17. She was put on meds and has started having seizures again. Her doctor increased her meds, and she is having at least one seizure a day. Her diet is lacking nutrition for sure. And her neurologist charges $205 with insurance for every visit, he will not give refills or order tests without an office visit. Now our health insurance will end this month after my husband lost his job. At this point I think a keto diet couldn't hurt. We may look into CBD oil too.
I was desperate to stop my seizures and tried CBT oil not containing THC but it did nothing for my seizures so I turned to trying cannabis. After inhaling just one puff of a cannabis joint containing the psychoactive ingredient THC it gave me an instant seizure aura that was very strong. I was terrified as I have serial seizures and had to ‘ride out’ the aura until the effects of that one puff had worn off. I was so disappointed as I’d heard such good things about cannabis helping with seizures and also shrinking brain tumours which is what causes my seizures. I also have lesions on my brain from the tumour and my epileptologist keeps telling me I should not be having any seizures while I’m taking anti-seizure medication. He is insistent I should not be having any breakthrough seizures and makes me feel guilty for having them. I’d be very interested in knowing if anyone else came across this attitude of “you shouldn’t be having any seizures!”. I only have one or two a year and have even went two years seizure free but every time I do have one it feels like I’m being chastised for it when I’m the one who’s suffering. Sometimes I wonder if he thinks I’m lying about having them but they’ve been witnessed in hospital and I was also rushed to hospital by paramedics after my mother happened to be there when I had the serial seizure. Please, if anyone else is being ‘guilt tripped’ by their doctor, epileptologist or neurosurgeon can you let me know your story?
@1966wilky I have had the same situation before I was put on Keppra and Depakote for seizures when I went back to my neurologist and told them I still had more seizures she pretty much talked to me that it was my fault "well you must be doing something wrong, too much caffeine or not enough sleep cuz you should not have any on the medication" I know exactly what you're talking about. And my father sometimes talks to me like that. "Well it's gotta be something you're doing wrong" WHAT!? WHAT AM I DOING WRONG?! Believe me you are not the only one
The brain cannot function without good nutrients 👍🏻 My sister was diagnosed with ADHD when she was little. My Mama stopped giving her anything with sugar or food due and started learning how to make healthier food, and she improved so much.
My daughter has complex epilepsy and drug resistance we have the vns been the best decision iv ever made after teying so many medications that have failed or gave an allergy to and being allergic to one of her rescue meds which has benzos in we have paraldehyde for a rescue med
I have been on the RNS since 2019 and I started having less seizures but still had some but since 2024 hit specifically now that I started Junior college in August I have not been having any for much of 2024.

I have a VNS device and I love it. I’m also taking high doses of a Keppra, Onfi and Vimpat. We’re working on decreasing my Keppra. The VNS makes me feel protected at night time.
Dear #doctorogie Thank you so much for quickly stabilizing my son's epilepsy virus and blood pressure when I was going through a difficult times 💚💚 0:00
For those reading the comments and who experience auras before a generalized seizure happens, do any of you have popping ears/tinnitus, then totally blocked ears, just before an aura starts, it's as if I get a warning before the aura. Was diagnosed with epilepsy a year and a half ago and I've had a couple seizures since then.. All the doctors I've spoken too have no idea, I just want to find someone who experiences this specific symptom as I feel so alone in this. I have bad tinnitus and I have these small auras throughout the day.
I was also Diagnosed with Tinnitus on my way out of the Military after about a decade of continuous service. Then About 1-2 years after being discharged my seizures started up! I’ve been having them ever since every month I wake up in the ER after a horrible full blown seizure episode!
I have JME and my VNS was implanted in 2021. I’m on a relatively low frequency but definitely feel like it’s affecting my voice more than expected. Are there ways to test and find out? Thank you for all the education you provide 💜
I have generalized epilepsy with JME & have VNS implant. The impulse sent can affect your vocal chords making your voice change for a few seconds. If it affects you too much you can ask your neurologist about reducing the frequency time in your device. I just got my second battery last year for my implant. My device is set pretty high rt now. As you get used to the setting, your body will accumulate to the frequency. I hope things get better for you. Pls talk to your drs about any concerns with irritation you are having. I have a video about my vns on my channel
I had epilepsy surgery. Just remember none of these, including Lazer, are without potential complications. They may be Very difficult to recover from. I would suggest think carefully unless epilepsy is impacting your quality of life a lot.
I want to be off my meds so bad but it's almost like since I only have seizures maybe once a year, neurologists just tell me to stay on my meds and come back in 6 months. I would like to find someone who will dig deeper. My first meds were Dilantin and I had to do research to prove my side effects were caused by them - worst feeling ever. Why couldn't they try a little too? Now I'm on Keppra and it's way better, but still taking meds and being reminded I have epilepsy sucks.
I pray you find the right treatment to be able to be successful in getting you off meds all together, my 16 son has been dealing with seizures for almost 3 years now. Just know it will get better just remain vigilant about your health. You got this, stay strong!💜
Hi Dr. Danoun, what are your thoughts on the new remote monitoring devices (watches, patches, etc) that is being developed? Will the data acquired from these devices be beneficial to physicians such as yourself for making diagnostics and treatment plans?
You are a bright star that I discovered on TH-cam. In a 32-year-old woman, who had an episode without us seeing exactly what happened, a seizure followed within 5 hours. She was given keppra 2000mg the next day and has been taking it for a month now. we are still looking from the tests what is going on without anything being seen. It is considered that the woman has epilepsy with 2 seizures with a difference of 5 hours between them;
My daughter is 15 years & had Encephalopathy with Atrophy lobes frontal & Epilepsy Partielle. Since 14 years she didn’t had any severe fits. From 15 age she started to had severe fits twice times in month April 22/23 & 27/5/23. Why she is getting worse fits then before? She had Epitomax 150 mg BD since increased 50 mg from 22/04/23. Is there any procedures to control fits for her?
I tryed the high fat and low carb cure. It was working at first. I started gaining weight. Everyone is different. I can't work out as much. Because of widespread pain. But if can help people. Thank you for sharing. Ps I did it on my own. It's always best to ask your neurologist.
My three year old Grandson started the Keto diet yesterday. He has retractive epilepsy. They can't break the cycle and said this was the only option left open to them. I'm so worried 😫
Diet/good nutrition from Whole Foods can help sooooo many things. God put healing things in the foods He created. I’ll be praying He leads you to the foods best suited for your grandchild. ❤
Hi, Excelent information!!! I want to know if I can take Berberine, taking Lamictal ??? I heard is very good for the brain. Thanks and God bless you! (Sorry for my English, l am from Puerto Rico. 🇵🇷)
I have rns since 2020, had significantly bad and very random convulsive seizures. With my neurologist, Dr. Dastjerdi, him and other neurologists and neurosurgeons believed rns would be the best and 2023 I believe I had a total of 4 convulsive seizures but now I’m having focal seizures. These are now mainly nightly seizures but I still have em. Coming up on 6 years with being diagnosed with epilepsy and being drug resistant but through the visits and hospital stays my neurologist has come a long way in getting my seizures to almost 0. My focal seizures my wife says last a total of 10-15 minutes long total and I’d regain full consciousness where before they would last almost 5 minutes then almost an hour before I would regain full consciousness. I’m suppose to talk again and possibly get another implant so we will see. That means more hospital stays since now my seizures are forming/ending on the right side where my rns is on the left side so can’t capture what’s happening on the right side. NeuroPACE needs to come out with the 4lead rns already!!
Thank you for your efforts Dr Ogie on TH-cam. People were dying in silence thanks for your herbal remedy for epilepsy it’s works perfectly well 0:02❤❤❤
Thanks for the video my son of 5yrs was check and they got disconnections in brain but was given some drugs and they said it didn't need surgery will he be cured
Well, asking the neuro doesn't really help since my neuro doesn't know much about the keto diet. She says it was used only with handicapped children who had severe epilepsy, and can only be used with a nutritionist's help...so I started the keto diet by myself, then with some help/a course where I can learn the basics of it and landing on ketosis slowly. 🙃
For a seizure free life ,Is there any surgery for the child 3.5 years old who is under ketogenic diet and still have seizures sometime in a couple of months.
Dr I suffer from zeisure about 25 years. I’m on lamotragine 300 mg , but I get sick only when I’m sleeping. I was told that maybe this was probably stop on my menopause. But didn’t.please help me Dr. I will come to visit you so probably will help thanks. I’m from Virginia
In your knowledge is epilepsy considered a disability? Have been diagnosed with 3 types since’09. On 4 different medications still have 1-2/mo. My neurologist has been trying me different drugs going up/down on mg. My seizures have caused many life threatening problems too me & even jail time.
I wonder the same. In the States I have seen videos about employment and epilepsy where the employer needs to make reasonable accommodations. However trying to qualify for disability pay seems like it's much more difficult to qualify for. Depending on many things and long wait times
Hi very interesting videos my daughter had a temprol lobe surgery two years ago nine months after surgery she was fine with the Neurologist help was trying to reduce meds an had a severe relapse an was back in hospital was on several epilepsy medications but most of it she had side effects currently on Eplim 700g morning an evening she was also diagnosed with Autoimmune Encephalitis she having severe memory loss she was having polygam treatment but that didn't bring her levels down currently l don't know what to do cause nothing is helping her she 36 years old need your help desperately pls doctor from South Africa
The world need more good doctors like Dr ogie on TH-cam who have a pure intention of helping the sick you are a God sent sir.. Thanks for helping me get rid of my son epilepsy🙏🙏
السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ Dr.I'm epilepsy patient last 10 years and I had seizure 3 or 4 times daily, I regularly used anti epileptic medicines but no result so far, I want to go surgery but i can't afford surgery cost. plz help me thanks
Is it safe for planing pregnancy if i take a dizaepam in September October and November and December and January 5 mg TWICE A WEEK before planing a pregnancy IN march CAN THAT LEVEL OF MEDUCACION IN MY BLOOD BEFORE PREGNANCY TO HARM A FETUS . IN FEVRUARI i don take a dizaepam now i am JUST on 500 mg keppra twice a day
I did keto for 6 months. I don’t know if it worked because I got covid and had a seizure. And I stopped also because I reached 100 pounds and i was loosing too much weight. 🤷🏼♀️
I've been suggested DBS by one Dr. and VNS by another Dr. at two different hospitals. I am now torn between which hospital to trust. I was wondering if you could suggest a Dr in my area.
i do have CAVERNOMA, OR CCM , where the cerebral part of my brain bleeds conteniously and thats the cause of my seizures, and i ddnt got any surgery , because it an expensive surgery in the philippines .. it cost 600thousand pesos, or $12.000 .. 😔😔
Hi doc. in my case according to MRI results I had mild left messial hippocampal attrophy, that cause seizures in my health... Me I ask, is it due to neuro-surgery, is it my case can heal?
Reading these comments, it seems like no meds are good for epilepsy and they prescribed me some meds, but i haven't taken any of it yet..Because these comments and also people i know with it says them meds made them worst.So ima go with natural remedies first before anything else.. Like Oil Oregano capsules with black seed in it and also Blue Vervain and go from there.
Extensively times that step we are afraid to take might just be the right one. I thank you, doctor ogie on TH-cam for your inducement and for not allowing me down throughout the whole revolution. Your medication to regale epilepsy is super tremendous I am delighted I came across your channel 🔥💚💚💚
I doctor. Recently i faced seizure. I am 31. My eeg and mri is normal. My doctor put me on medicine and told me to stop my protein supplement (whey protein) and other supplements. But other doctor didn't stop me from taking supplements. Is it necessary to stop my supplements?
Assalamualaikum Sir i had done the live EEG from where seizures come and doctor told us that surgery would not be helpful for us because it was coming from all side of brain kindly reply me
May I ask what if all my laboratory results was normal but still after 6 or 3 months my seizure come back for once? I already did EEG the result was NORMAL.
My son has "double cortex" diagnosis. We are now on Apydan and Briviact. But the seizures do not stop. As my sons condition is very rear, I feel that the doctors have no good experience. I have read that Apydan (oxcarbazepine) can cause seizures. Could you make a video about these weird phenomena. Thanks for your very good channel. I have learnt much in your channel and it helped me in the discussions with the doctors
What in case seizure is only comes while sleeping and no reason found and medicines is still going on from long around 15yrs and having the same problem and 2-3 yrs once patient get the seizures.
سلام علیکم mr doc. I have seizure around 6 years and right now i am under treatment just using drugs like levetiracetam 1000mg and oxcarbazepine 600, is is good to use TMS for treatment seizure? Do u offer it? Tnx
There is no evidence that TMS is effective for epilepsy on the long term and we don't use it. If you want we can get a consult and go over the case and let me know what is the best treatment options
Hello there sorry to bother and bug ya but I was wondering when you said it’s working. What exactly seems to be working and what does WORK actually mean!? Has it completely cured your seizures?! Do they still happen just not as often ?…? Any help or advice would be great and highly helpful and appreciated! 😎
There are no studies to compare them one on one but they are pretty similar. Comes down if they can spot where the seizures are coming from then RNS might be better or if not spotted then DBS is the way
My wife has epilepsy, now she is 4 months pregnant. She has had this disease for 3 times. Sir, what do you do for this? She is already taking medicine (levipil 750).
If her seizures are controlled, stopped, with medication then she is being treated. I became epileptic at age 14. Before deciding to have children, I met with my general doctor, my neurologist and my OB/gyn. We discussed the medication I was on, and modified it to something that hopefully causes fewer birth defects. But still the risk was seven times higher than no medication. But if I quit meds I would have had to quit my job and lose my driver's license. Plus risk having a seizure. And I'd probably need to stay home, need care or something If I had a seizure while pregnant, since I have grand mal with loss of consciousness, I stop breathing during the seizures. The doctors weren't sure how long the baby would be deprived of oxygen during a seizure, and so they recommended that I continue the medication. To prevent brain damage of the baby. They essentially said that having a seizure while pregnant was worse for the baby than the effects of the medicine. It was nerve wracking. But baby appeared to be born healthy. I nursed so there was no need to add medication to baby formula. As the baby was weaned they would naturally be weaned off the medication. There is much to consider for each situation. This was my experience but everyone is different. Long term effects on infants depending on medication for example. Maybe meet with a genetic counselor to see if there is more recent studies At 14 I was put on something supposed to be used for children. And I ended up going back to only that during pregnancy. About halfway through pregnancy we increased the dose some because of weight gain. I still take the same pills even though I'm past menopause. I am concerned about the long term effects. I ended up having 2 children but I was pregnant more than that and also lost babies to miscarriage.

I heard is very good for the brain.
Thanks and God bless you!
(Sorry for my English, l am from Puerto Rico. 🇵🇷)
I have rns since 2020, had significantly bad and very random convulsive seizures. With my neurologist, Dr. Dastjerdi, him and other neurologists and neurosurgeons believed rns would be the best and 2023 I believe I had a total of 4 convulsive seizures but now I’m having focal seizures. These are now mainly nightly seizures but I still have em. Coming up on 6 years with being diagnosed with epilepsy and being drug resistant but through the visits and hospital stays my neurologist has come a long way in getting my seizures to almost 0. My focal seizures my wife says last a total of 10-15 minutes long total and I’d regain full consciousness where before they would last almost 5 minutes then almost an hour before I would regain full consciousness. I’m suppose to talk again and possibly get another implant so we will see. That means more hospital stays since now my seizures are forming/ending on the right side where my rns is on the left side so can’t capture what’s happening on the right side. NeuroPACE needs to come out with the 4lead rns already!!
Keto & MCT oil ( make sure your mct is organic).. seizures will ceased to exist
Make it a lifestyle
Thank you for your efforts Dr Ogie on TH-cam. People were dying in silence thanks for your herbal remedy for epilepsy it’s works perfectly well 0:02❤❤❤
Thanks for the video my son of 5yrs was check and they got disconnections in brain but was given some drugs and they said it didn't need surgery will he be cured
Facing this issue, and Regularly having
"oleptol od 600" tablet,
How effective it is and is it final solution.
Well, asking the neuro doesn't really help since my neuro doesn't know much about the keto diet. She says it was used only with handicapped children who had severe epilepsy, and can only be used with a nutritionist's help...so I started the keto diet by myself, then with some help/a course where I can learn the basics of it and landing on ketosis slowly. 🙃
For a seizure free life ,Is there any surgery for the child 3.5 years old who is under ketogenic diet and still have seizures sometime in a couple of months.
Dr I suffer from zeisure about 25 years. I’m on lamotragine 300 mg , but I get sick only when I’m sleeping. I was told that maybe this was probably stop on my menopause. But didn’t.please help me Dr. I will come to visit you so probably will help thanks. I’m from Virginia
In your knowledge is epilepsy considered a disability? Have been diagnosed with 3 types since’09. On 4 different medications still have 1-2/mo. My neurologist has been trying me different drugs going up/down on mg. My seizures have caused many life threatening problems too me & even jail time.
In the UK epilepsy is considered a disability and employers must treat it as such, you have the same protections as any other disability.
I wonder the same. In the States I have seen videos about employment and epilepsy where the employer needs to make reasonable accommodations.
However trying to qualify for disability pay seems like it's much more difficult to qualify for. Depending on many things and long wait times
Very sorry to hear that ! I would consider it’s a type of disability but I guess depends on the area!
Thanks Boss ❤❤
Any time

Please review the video on epilepsy and pregnancy.. And discuss this with your neurologist
I did keto for 6 months. I don’t know if it worked because I got covid and had a seizure. And I stopped also because I reached 100 pounds and i was loosing too much weight. 🤷🏼♀️
What would you consider a high dose (mg) of keppra?
Please review the video on Keppra for full information about the medication
I've been suggested DBS by one Dr. and VNS by another Dr. at two different hospitals. I am now torn between which hospital to trust. I was wondering if you could suggest a Dr in my area.
Dr i also have seizure from india will surgery help me in getting relief from epilepsy
i do have CAVERNOMA, OR CCM , where the cerebral part of my brain bleeds conteniously and thats the cause of my seizures, and i ddnt got any surgery , because it an expensive surgery in the philippines .. it cost 600thousand pesos, or $12.000 .. 😔😔
Does ketogenic diet work well for adults ??
Hi doc. in my case according to MRI results I had mild left messial hippocampal attrophy, that cause seizures in my health...
Me I ask, is it due to neuro-surgery, is it my case can heal?
I can't provide medical advice online without evaluating the patient in my clinic. Please review the video on temporal lobe epilepsy
Reading these comments, it seems like no meds are good for epilepsy and they prescribed me some meds, but i haven't taken any of it yet..Because these comments and also people i know with it says them meds made them worst.So ima go with natural remedies first before anything else.. Like Oil Oregano capsules with black seed in it and also Blue Vervain and go from there.
I have eaty epilepsy on specific food is it curable?
Extensively times that step we are afraid to take might just be the right one. I thank you, doctor ogie on TH-cam for your inducement and for not allowing me down throughout the whole revolution. Your medication to regale epilepsy is super tremendous I am delighted I came across your channel 🔥💚💚💚
I doctor. Recently i faced seizure. I am 31. My eeg and mri is normal. My doctor put me on medicine and told me to stop my protein supplement (whey protein) and other supplements. But other doctor didn't stop me from taking supplements. Is it necessary to stop my supplements?
Assalamualaikum Sir i had done the live EEG from where seizures come and doctor told us that surgery would not be helpful for us because it was coming from all side of brain kindly reply me
My girlfriend sadly has epilepsy 😭. I want to be able to see her unfortunately it’s gonna be a while.
May I ask what if all my laboratory results was normal but still after 6 or 3 months my seizure come back for once? I already did EEG the result was NORMAL.
My son has "double cortex" diagnosis. We are now on Apydan and Briviact. But the seizures do not stop. As my sons condition is very rear, I feel that the doctors have no good experience. I have read that Apydan (oxcarbazepine) can cause seizures. Could you make a video about these weird phenomena. Thanks for your very good channel. I have learnt much in your channel and it helped me in the discussions with the doctors
Oxcarbazepine can only worsen generalized epilepsy... Yes double cortex is a rare malformation and I have seen cases like that
Am motorists please am experienced seizure please help me doctor am in kenya
My daughter also having epilepsy,ahe under medication now but that medicine still not inprove the seizure hit mostly while sleeping day or night
What in case seizure is only comes while sleeping and no reason found and medicines is still going on from long around 15yrs and having the same problem and 2-3 yrs once patient get the seizures.
سلام علیکم mr doc.
I have seizure around 6 years and right now i am under treatment just using drugs like levetiracetam 1000mg and oxcarbazepine 600, is is good to use TMS for treatment seizure? Do u offer it? Tnx
There is no evidence that TMS is effective for epilepsy on the long term and we don't use it. If you want we can get a consult and go over the case and let me know what is the best treatment options

Sir , My 8 year son , when listien sound at that time faildown.how to cure
All please try cbd oil, it is working for me
Hello there sorry to bother and bug ya but I was wondering when you said it’s working. What exactly seems to be working and what does WORK actually mean!?
Has it completely cured your seizures?! Do they still happen just not as often ?…?
Any help or advice would be great and highly helpful and appreciated! 😎
My Allah bless and cure everyone who suffer cos I know it's hard , have my son 🥺
I know every body is different. And the DBS and RNS both sound good! But which one has a better success rate and is overall better????
There are no studies to compare them one on one but they are pretty similar. Comes down if they can spot where the seizures are coming from then RNS might be better or if not spotted then DBS is the way
@@DrOmarDanoun thank you so much!! 😊
My wife has epilepsy, now she is 4 months pregnant. She has had this disease for 3 times. Sir, what do you do for this? She is already taking medicine (levipil 750).
If her seizures are controlled, stopped, with medication then she is being treated.
I became epileptic at age 14. Before deciding to have children, I met with my general doctor, my neurologist and my OB/gyn.
We discussed the medication I was on, and modified it to something that hopefully causes fewer birth defects.
But still the risk was seven times higher than no medication. But if I quit meds I would have had to quit my job and lose my driver's license. Plus risk having a seizure. And I'd probably need to stay home, need care or something
If I had a seizure while pregnant, since I have grand mal with loss of consciousness, I stop breathing during the seizures. The doctors weren't sure how long the baby would be deprived of oxygen during a seizure, and so they recommended that I continue the medication. To prevent brain damage of the baby. They essentially said that having a seizure while pregnant was worse for the baby than the effects of the medicine.
It was nerve wracking. But baby appeared to be born healthy. I nursed so there was no need to add medication to baby formula. As the baby was weaned they would naturally be weaned off the medication.
There is much to consider for each situation. This was my experience but everyone is different. Long term effects on infants depending on medication for example. Maybe meet with a genetic counselor to see if there is more recent studies
At 14 I was put on something supposed to be used for children. And I ended up going back to only that during pregnancy. About halfway through pregnancy we increased the dose some because of weight gain.
I still take the same pills even though I'm past menopause. I am concerned about the long term effects.
I ended up having 2 children but I was pregnant more than that and also lost babies to miscarriage.
Bro i will recommend u to have scan of ur baby first
Is VNS supposed to stop a seizure before it starts. I have the VNS and I am on medication and still have seizures.
Details in the VNS video

Can I go on keto and yoga and stop taking medications? Maybe take a risk and see?
Keto is an addition to medications not a replacement. Discuss with your neurologist
Eat good fruit and vegetables. Cut down sugar . Do praise of God every daily it will show you right path . Drink lemon ginger olive oil tea some time. Coconut water is good too
Doctor told me that even vns will not work more than 40% i have to take tablets as well
Hello Doctor,. can we take an online consultation please.
