Seizure Clusters

Tue, 02/10/2015 - 21:30

Hello Everyone,

My 3 year old began having seizures in Nov 2014. He appears to have seizure clusters. He went 2 months seizure free. He began having seizure clusters again 3 weeks ago and having them more frequent. Does anyone else have similar story? Just trying to learn more. Thanks,T

ChelseaIf your son grew much

ChelseaIf your son grew much in that period of time then his medication level may need to be increased. When I was growing I had to have my dosah=ges changes 4 times in about a year. All because I changed from a little kid to anteenager. utthe growth during that period of time was  about 50lbs and change in heitght was 8-10 inches. I know kids don't grow that fast but if his weight changes about 5-10 lbs that could be the cause since the levels would then let breakthru seizure happen.
