What medication are you trying first? I second the modified Adkins suggestion. My seven year old has intractable epilepsy. The sooner you get seizures controlled, the better likelihood you have of long term control. That's hard to grasp as a young teen.
And if you feel like your neurologist isn't taking this seriously, get a new one. Are you going to one of the big clinics? I'm sure we'd all help you brainstorm.
This is tough, tough, tough.

CLE felt like it started really slowly and gently and has significantly ramped up. I like it.

I can't recall that here. A lot of blogs are linked in siggies, but if it bugs you you can also block the poster so you don't see their posts.

Absolutely, Sadie. Violence and hate only beget more hate and violence. May all be safe!

I hope this is safely resolved. Be safe, Australians. :(

Wow, very sad to see pics of the damage.

My understanding is that a CT scan is one thing used in diagnosing a seizure disorder as well. So if they don't see signs of a concussion with the CT scan, they could potentially see something that could indicate a seizure occurred.
A CT can pick up an underlying structural issue that may cause a seizure- a tumor or a lesion, ect. Most people with seizures have clear CT scans. An EEG would be more appropriate to help examine seizure disorder possibilities.

Mama, don't feel terrible! It is something to ask the docs about, esp with his descriptions of having fallen asleep.
-
Does he not remember the fall, itself? Is it possible that he passed out or had a seizure, and then fell?
-
Are they sedating him for the CT?

Personally, I rank Mercola with Natural News.

Also, Reddit is good for current events and discussion on them.

Huffington Post is left.
The Federalist is right.Slate is left.

Should churches be able to refuse to perform gay weddings? They act as agents of the state and fill out legal documents are part of religious marriage services.

Arts & craft stuff? American Girl has some.
Yarn and crochet hooks?

I thought overall it was silly, bums aside.

Hahaha. I am doing my part by watching it again and giggling.

I am overly amused that that is the video that did it. :lol:

I am also really intrigued by this, "Also, separately, there are articles showing that biofeedback using skin conductance is cutting seizure frequency almost in half for many people. This is another way to use Embrace that may help people who have complex partial or other nonconvulsive seizures."
-
OOooh, I do love the addition of the pulseox!! It looks like they're working on making the Embrace monitor pulse, I wonder if they're working on pulse ox, too? For us the biggest thing is catching seizures when a parent isn't right there. :)
I am SO GLAD that tech is starting to come up with things to help keep people safe!

Thanks for sharing! Medical applications of wearable technology fascinate me.
I can't wait to see what they pull together. :)

Funerals are a big part of what my family does- DH is a pastor. I would look it up in the paper and go.

15 minutes and really, I'm not sure.

One of my DDs docs explained it like this- pretend the seizure goes down a path in the brain. The more you walk down a certain path, the deeper and more pronounced the path. You want to keep the electrical energy in your brain from firing in that abnormal way.
The longer you go seizure free the better. I don't think I would try to induce seizures if you know something like food does it for her, but I'm not a clinician.
