Hey...I'm Brand New!!!

[Camille's_Mom]

Hello all. I'm new to this forum. I was referred here by someone on a different forum. My daughter has had epilepsy since birth and she's currently 14 months old. I'm here to try to find out some information in order to help her. Especially with her medications!

I hope we can help. Are you looking to find out anything specific?

You can use the "search" option at the top of the page (3rd from the right) and you can also check out the nursery where the parents of young kids with epilepsy share their experiences.

Thank you, epileric. I'll look at the nursery. I'm looking into several different medicinal options as well as Ketogenic dieting.

There is at least one mom that has had some success with the ketogenic diet. She's often here & I"m sure she'll drop by to contribute her 2 cents.

It is a very strict & hard diet to stick to but I've heard that it can give excellent results. Here is a list of options, some less traditional. You might want to check out the Modified Atkins Diet as well.

Thanks again. I'll look into that link. I went over to the nursery and handed them an abridged version of my life story. lol. I hope she does drop by. I need all the info I can get.
