Is anyone NOT medicating for Absence Seizures?

Wed, 02/03/2010 - 14:14

HI - our daughter was diagnosed over the summer with Absence Seizures. Her pediatric neurologist has recommended starting her on Ethosuximide. She has assured us that the side effects are primarily "upset stomach" and that can remedied by taking the medication with food.

 We are new to all of this and quite overwhelmed. Currently, these seizures are not interferring with her school work, behavior, or social activities. Since it is most likely that she will "out-grow" them we are reluctant to start medication.

 Is there anyone "out there" who has never medicated OR started the medication and then stopped it b/c of the side effects?

We don't want to make the wrong decision. Thank you for any insight.

Hello every body on this site, I want to give a testimony about my HIV virus that was cured by a great spell caster. Since last 4years now I have being an HIV patient. I never think I live long again and am so grateful about this great man called DR ADAGBA who cured my HIV AIDS last 3 weeks. I was in a great pain so I told one of my best friend called Susan; she told me that there is a great spell caster that can cure my HIV. I asked her if she had his email address, she gave me his email and I emailed him. He talked to me and he perform the necessary rituals and he told me that after two weeks I should go for a test and Which I did, when the doctor told me that am now an HIV negative, I couldn’t believe myself, I went to see another doctor the result was still the same, I was human on planet earth again, so I emailed him and thanked him. Please if you are having a similar problem please visit him/contact him on adagbaspiritualtemple@yahoo.com

THIS INFORMATION WILL BE SO

THIS INFORMATION WILL BE SO HELPFUL TO ANYONE SUFFERING FROM SEIZURES OR EPILEPSY.I am a single parent by name Coker. My 15 (Fifteen) old child was diagnosed of epilepsy and seizures at the age of 3 (three); it was so frequent that I was so devastated. Seeing my baby suffer so much with an illness doctors said it had no cure. I cried with my baby whenever the seizure comes. To help my baby, I tried all forms of western and modern anti-seizure medications for a cure. Doctors said the illness has no cure that my child should learn to live with it. All they could do was prescribed more anti-seizure medications for treatment that were already becoming a burden and having side effects on my baby.To save my baby’s life, I went to the internet in search for a medication that will cure my child. In the internet, I read a testimony of a mother who her child went through the same problem for 20 years. According to her, the condition of her child had become so complicated from several Western anti-seizures drugs that she had given up hope. But her child was totally cured by HERBAL MEDICATION of a Doctor. I contacted the doctor, and today my child is totally cured and free from seizures and jerks caused by epilepsy. For those who might have loved ones going through the same problem, you may contact Dr. Mohan through this email drajaymohanbose@gmail.com. You will find a cure just like I did for my child.
