hi all
maya is 8 yrs old now, abt 35 kgs and has had a sudden increase in the frequency of her seizures. She used to get it once a year now it is once a month !
She is taking Oleptal 1050 mg/day
Now the Doctor wants to increase it to 1200 mg/day. Is this high / low for a child of her age/wt.
In the mean time i also want to do somethings myself.
1)
I want to monitor/modify her nutrition/diet and try to decrease frequency with a diet more suitable for a patient with epilepsy....
Any ideas/sources/books/links I could study
2) I know the AEDs have high toxicity , is there anything I can do to deToxify/clean up her system ?
Thanks for the help
