Hi, would like to quickly introduce myself. I am the mother of a 19 year old daughter who was diagnosed with E 6 years ago. She has uncontrolled generalized grand mal seizures. She's been on many different medications in the past 6 years, none of which has worked for very long. This past year, she's been in the hospital ICU 5 times due to cluster seizures that just do not want to stop once they get going. She is currently on an experimental med in conjunction with a Boston hospital. Otherwise, she is a normal, healthy 19 year old trying to live a normal life within the restrictions she has. I look forward to meeting people on this forum and to learn better how to cope with the impact that E has on people's lives. Lisa
