Help understanding please!!
My daughter is 17 and has been diagnosed with Epilepsy since she was 13. I'm also epileptic but my seizures are well controlled where as my daughters aren't.
She has grand mal seizures at night and what they have always considered complex partial seizures during the day. However, I have managed to video three of her last attacks and now they are saying that the day time ones are non-epileptic seizures and that we now need to find out what are causing these!!
They have been playing around with her medication for the last six months without any success of stopping the day time seizures so when I asked if we could surely reduce this medication they were still hesitant??
Does anybody else have non-epileptic seizures during the day and grand mal seizures at night??? If so what causes the non-epileptic seizures??
I feel we are right back at the beginning with no hope of stopping the seizures during the day as they don't know now what are causing them - or are they wrong and they are complex partial seizures that just aren't responding to the current medication.
PLEASE HELP!!!
