I love reading your posts, always do, but finally got it through my thick head (thin?) that you were controlled for a long time then lost it well into your adult years. My son beame controlled was able to go off AEDs after a 6 year period ahd stupidly we secretly thought he was "cured". Then his seizures started back again. Bummer for you both. I only wanted you to know I'm so sorry for you. I'd really rather than never stop, than stop seizing that long as you ahve, and start again. That would take more than I wonder if I have. Another example of never say never I guess, and how fickle epilepsy can be. I'm so darn sorry for you, for you both. That would be crushing. My hat off to you. Gretchen
