I am so glad to have found this site, my 9 year old daughter has just been diagnosed and i was on the internet trying to get as much info as i could before seeing the Neurologist.
My daughter only has mild partial seizures and so far have only been 12 months apart, my main questions are can it worsen with age? Can it be affected by the onset of higher hormone levels? (puberty) was she born with it? and why did the seizures only start after she fell off a wall at school and landed on her head ending up in hospital with concussion?
Maybe won't get all the answers but am interested in the anxiety attacks, my daughter was put on homeopathic medicine after she was continuously bursting into tears over the unknown , it worked for a while but we still have episodes of crying when she is unsure what will happen at school etc.. Anybody have that sort of anxieties.
Thanks for sharing, i am not so worried about it all now.

Hey! Thats no problem! sounds like your son has the same as me. Im 22, but as I said in the first comment I left, I wasnt diagnosed until I was 15. Ive found that the triggers for my fits are tiredness, being anxious, or stressed! And as for memory loss . . . . What a pain! Haha! I can tell someone something, and about 10 minutes later ill have forgotten iv told them, and tell them again! And it always seems like I remember the stupid little unimportant things, and forget the really important things!
