Vomiting & Epilepsy
Wed, 08/23/2006 - 16:27Topic: Parents & Caregivers
16 year old finally seizure free. However she has been vomiting ALL SUMMER!! They say migraines, I don't agree anyone else experienced this?
She has been through it all 12 meds, keto diet and VNS. She shakes some now from the Depakote ER and/or Dilantin but she can deal with to be seizure free.
She gets dizzy, light headed, vomits and then sleeps for 2 - 3 hours?
