Hi, I have read quite a few threads and it helps to put things into perspective. Our 13 year old daughter had a seizure last week. My husband found her at the end of her seizure. In looking back she probably had another one when she was home alone 3 months ago. We thought it was a pacnic attack. After testing, (MRI, CAT scan and EEg) she was diagnosised with epilepsy. She is starting on 25mg of Lamicticil. It's hard. Lisa
