Intractable epilepsy has several different names. It can also be uncontrolled epilepsy or drug resstant epilepsy. If you have been treated with 2 appropriate anti-seizure mediations they will say you have intractable epilepsy. My epilepsy is considered ontrolled but I still have a seizure avery 5-14 days. My seizures today are nothing like those I had earlier n my life. I cn have a seizure right infront of you and you wouldn't know about it.
