Absence Seizures and Medications
Mon, 11/16/2015 - 11:48I am new to this forum and really any kind of support. I have hesitated to reach out as my daughter does not have grand mal seizures and others seem to struggle so much more. I am reaching our to others with children who have absence seizures like my daughter. We are havign a hard time with medications and their impact on her in school. She is so groggy and struggles with timed tests. I am scheduled to meet with the school and discuss testing modifications for her which I hate to think about having to do, but I think she needs the support. I would so appreciate any feedback or words of wisdom.
