I am trying so very hard to deal with the news of my child with epilepsy, He was diagnosed back in November of 2011. I am just looking for other mothers, grandparents, or what have you, to talk with to try to help me cope. He currently is taking Keppra and Vimpat. He just recently was put on the Vimpat, and was seizure free for 30days. Today unfortuntly was a bad day, He had 2 seizures within 15mins. His neurologist decided to bump up the dose of Vimpat, and within 45mins of the new dose he started having longer and stronger seizures. I am to the point where i need some answers, I have been waiting for over a month to get test results back from his spinal tap. I want to know if he is given a larger amount, does it effect him in a way that could cause him to seize? Is there more wrong? I am starting to question the doctors on their care for my child! are they just trying to push me under the rug and not properly take care of my son? If there is anyone out there with similar stories, or have babies with these same issues please help. anything from anyone other than a doctor would help, there isnt many people out there to talk to about this kind of thing and i just need to feel like im not the only one. :e:
