Hello,
This is quite an old message, but my daughter is actually 8 months, and has also complex partial seizures, hidden by keppra, and myoclonic seizures that the neurologues can't controle, they don't find any cause neither (normal MR, EEG not showing any typical syndrom). It looks a lot as West, but it isn't.
I would like to have more informations about your daughter, and see if it is very similar, because here in Brussels, Belgium they don't seem to have an other case as her.
She is also seeing an acupuncturist recently, i think it's working, but just two days each time.
Thanks!

my daughter is 10 months old has had complex partial, myoclonic and now atonic seizures... for a little over a month now. She is on phenobarb and klonopin... do you guys think she's too young for acupuncture? and did you tell your "regular" doctors about you going to the acupuncturist... before or after?
