Hello. I have a 7 year old with a seizure disorder. She has aura's a lot. Too much in my opinion. She has tried Trilepital but was allergic, and has tried Topamax, but we just weaned her off because I felt like it wasn't helping the aura's. Almost making them worse. So now we have her on Keppra. 2ml in the morning and 4ml at night. I almost feel that her aura's are routine like. Let me explain: The last bout of aura's that she had were on January 10th, 2013. She has had no aura's and has been doing great until yesterday - January 26th, 2013. And she had 5 throughout the day, 2 at night in her sleep and has continued to have them today January 27th, 2013. She has already had 3 today. So technically she has gone 16 days with no aura. Prior to that, she had gone from December 24th, 2012 until January 10th, 2013. It is almost like routine. Each time we aren't sure how many days we can go without any, but it used to be like 5 days, then 10, then 15.
So anyone else out there that has aura's often feel like they are almost routine? Or like a pattern? So my daughter will go 16 days with none, but then aura for 2 days straight all day long. I hope some one can help me answer this question. I stayed worried all the time about the aura's and the 3 meds we have tried are just not working. HELP!
Thanks!
