Hi all, My daughter has had JME for three years without much success. She's been pretty controlled, a grand mal striking every time she gets close to 6 month mark. I'm overwhelmed with how she is going to handle college. Her jerks have become more prevalent in the late afternoon interfering...

My son, 17, was diagnosed two and half years ago with epilepsy. We have been to two neurologist and one epileptologist. The epileptologist is in Jacksonville Mayo, which I thought would be best. My son has only had six seizures in his span of diagnosis. The Mayo doctor wants to refer him to...
