Seizures & Thyroid or Metabolic Syndrome
Tue, 12/30/2008 - 14:55Looking for information about seizures & thyroid function, metabolic syndrome, hypoglycemia .... My son is 9 years old diagnosed with epilepsy 3 years ago after having " hit & miss" seizures since he was 6 months old. Recently, 90% of his seizures have occured after lunch at school during his recess period. He is for the most part a normal, healthy, active boy who loves sports, horses, video games etc. But WE ARE MISSING SOMETHING !!! ( us & his doctors) . His most recent seizure was this past Sunday while driving home from my families Christmas together, the thing that was different was that he was hungry & we were on our way to get something to eat, plus he had been asleep ( while in the car) & this episode seems to begin while he was sleeping. This seizure was worse than the last few that I have seen too. If you have any information will you please post here or PM me at jisham@homehealthcarepartners.com.
Thanks so much !!
