Did you see this article in the "Epilepsy News" section? It's about how to reduce the chance of Sudden Unexplained Death in Epilepsy.

Good article Endless, thanks.
Esp. agreed with the 'doctor/patient' comment... so true and only if it could be like that for everyone.

The Dr. in this article also says:

Quote :

The measures suggested to reduce Sudden Unexplained Death in Epilepsy risk are only speculative suggestions, Shorvon writes, based on data about what leads to Sudden Unexplained Death in Epilepsy. If medications don't help, Shorvon writes, epilepsy surgery can help make a patient seizure-free and probably reduces the risk of Sudden Unexplained Death in Epilepsy.

This isn't necessarily true, either. Surgery doesn't always make a patient seizure-free.
