Thanks Nakamova

Nearly two days on the rescue med , while on her cycle and still no seziure. Five more days and counting.
 
HI
Just wanted to share, the rescue med Amy been given for seven days seemed to do the trick . Shes been taking clobazam 10mg for the seven days shes at risk during her cycle . I was reading the information on what it does . Apparently its used for short periods, to treat severe anixety. It may also be used for longer preiods as part of a treatment for epilepsy. It works by calming excitable nerve cells in the brain .
 
Glad to hear that she's got things under control! Must be a real relief for you. :)
 
hi
Hopefully the rescue med will do its job next month and the month after that . And if it dose then i have proved Amys point when we go back to the hospital for a check up , job done .

Hope all is well with you take care

Hi Tom

Its early days, but ,so far this month as been good . Hopefully her seziures around her cycle will decrease when using it. I beleive that her cycle is a trigger, we can cantrol diet, drinking and ensuring that she gets enough sleep, but not those hormones we needed help. This as been a long battle, (2006) for the doctors to listen.

Hows your daughter been getting on

hi,
thought i would give a quick up date . Rescue drug combined with the keppra and lamactal going to be taken for the next seven days whilst amy is at risk . Hopefully we will have a good outcome and no seziures during her cycle .
 
Last day on the rescue med = no seziures at present , this is very encouraging as amy tends to have seziures when she is due her period . still have everything crossed tho for the next month
 
Thanks for the update, that's great!
 
little update

Amy should be on the rescue med from 21st july , but no symptoms of the dreaded time of the month . So the nurse dose not want her to take it until the usual symtoms start . So this month touch wood no drama . We do however have a gynie appointment (spelt wrong ) 13 th august .
