Myoclonic seizures

my 3 yr old was diagnosed with myoclonic seizures. I that treatment rarely controls it fully. Does anyone else have a child diagnosed with this? What is their quality of life?

My daughter was brought in 3 months ago with these symptoms. She was recorded with having a subclinical seizures and abnormal brains waves. After a few months on keppra and more frequent spasms the neurologist has finally diagnoses her with myoclonic seizures.  She has prescribed depocote and if that doesn't help we'll try the extensive diet. This is very frustrating and heartbreaking. Any insight would be great. Ant.Foster83@gmail.com
