Believe it or not, you can save BIG bucks at the drugstore around the corner (some prescription, some generic and some of both, depending upon the pharmacy) if you just do a little homework...

hiya everyone,

my names mairi and my daughter sophie started taking seizures at 6weeks, we are not about 10weeks down the line and the seizures are still not under control.

she was diagnosed wrongly to start with myoclonic epilepsy and put on phenytoin, epilum and nitrzapam. she has now been weaned off all of these medicines.

in recent weeks she has been tried on steroids and vigabatrin- neither of which has had any positive effect on her eeg.

we are back at hospital tomorrow and i think sophie will be put onto acth.

I would like start this group to be able to talk to each other on a daily bases. We like to make some friends how have epilepsy and maybe sometime hang out. Everyone can always need a new friend. If you interest just tell me.

Hello all! I'm Ann and I just turned 27 a few days ago. Thank you for taking time to read my post and trying to help me understand what is going on.....

Hi folks, I will be losing my insurance in May, and I am taking Lamictal XR ( 800 mil per day) and I am having a HARD TIME trying to find a Health insurance provider that will cover me as soon as I enroll for it. Mostly everyone wants me to wait 12 months for pre existing conditions, and they want to charge you a arm and a leg for it. The "Hippa Insurance" is going to cost me over $1,500.00 a month, I told the guy that I might as well, pay out of pocket for my own meds instead of pay for the insurance. That is more than that Rent!!!

Is anyone else scared to be home alone with thier baby? I know that I usually have serizure in the morning. So I have taught my daughter that she has to stay in her room with the gate up until 10:30am. (I put a bowl of dry cereal in her room with a capri sun before I go to bed) That way if I have a serizure its not a problem. I still worry about it, there lots of other problems I worry about.
