8 year old boy

Sun, 03/06/2005 - 14:41
Hi, I have an 8 year old boy who had a tonic clonic seizure one and has since been diagnosed with seizure disorder. We think he has had a number of smaller seizures now and it taking Keppra. I'd really like to have someone in a similar situation to connect to as I sometimes I don't know if I am seeing something significant and I just feel kind of alone in all of this. He was just diagnosed in January so this is all still new to me.Diane

Hi,

I have a 15yr son who's had seizures since he's been 8. It's not easy but you can get through this. How is he doing on the Keppra? David is on Keppra and Trileptal. I hate meds but Keppra seems to have the fewest sideffects. If you still need to talk to someone I'd be happy to listen. My e-mail is sandkproducts@sugardog.com.

God Bless
