My daughter...NEWS!!

[Loudmouth]

FINALLY got her EEG results... ABNORMAL brain waves during the flashing lights part of the EEG, that was only a 20 minute EEG...SO her pediatrician has told me she is almost definately epileptic ( british docs!!) then she went on to say J was OBVIOUSLY photosensitive??after previous statement??!!... they are sending her for a rush-job sleep deprived EEG in the next 2 weeks, should hear appointment date by friday. they want her medicated (which I dont really) as they believe the seizures are interfering with her learning abilities. (she has delays in english and memory/retention problems, and PROFOUND problems with maths). STILL no MRI though. Getting somewhere though...

way to go Loudmouth it sounds like you are finally getting some answers, I know all about dealing with neurologists in the UK and trying to get answers - and that is if you can get an appointment in the first place.

Great! It sounds like some progress is being made. Hopefully that trend continues for you!

I am glad you are getting some answers and I really hope you get everything you need. I will be praying for you. Keep us updated on everything turns out. Hopefully you get more answers.

Great news that the testing is yielding some positive results. Hopefully it will lead to a viable solution.

Yay! You're finally getting some info! If J is photosensitive, some special eyeglasses might help. I read somewhere ( can't remember where for the life of me....) that blue polycarbonate lenses are supposed to help....but they have to be made out of blue glass..not just coated blue.
