Hi, my story reguarding my daughter is under Bobbie`s blog and the forum of new to my.epilepsy .com. My daughter is 9 years old and has rolandic epilepsy ,her neuro told us that there is a good chance she will grow out of it (that is when she was 6 years old when we first found out ) but I am wondering if she will ??? She has been on different kinds of meds .She is now on Strattera cause her neuro think she may have a touch of A.D.D. in which it has helped abit in school but she is also on Lamictal 3 tablets in morning and 3 at night .Her neuro has raised it twice in the last 4 to 5 months .First time in april after she had back to back seizures at school and had to be in the hospital ,then again in june when she had a seizure had to go hospital but was released later that day . But I was wondering if anyone every heard of their tongues start to tingle then go numb .She has been having this problem off and on and it lasts for about 5 minutes the last one . The seizure she had in june it started out with her tongue doing that . Every time her tongue starts that now I have her sit with me and try to some easy math facts of adding . and I rubb her neck abit then after abit she is okay . But every time I am scared but I donot let her see it cause then she gets worried. I told her neuro about it and he says her does not know what it is caused from and if it keeps happening I am to raise her meds to 3 in a.m. and 4 in the p.m. . She also has trouble getting to sleep at night . I know she has had an MRI done in May and that was okay and in June she had another EEG done about 4 days after she had that one seizure .It is abnormal like the others . I am wondering if anyone here could maybe help me out abit ??? I am getting emotionally drained over this ...
