I think the Neurologist involved in any of these symptoms is important. Mine said I would be on this medication for the rest of my life. Of course then I was 72 and that's like a life time warranty. How valuable is it. Let's see what the Neurologist does with Roberts. His was a bad seizure.. Foaming at the mouth,convulsing on the ground. A friend who has serious migraines is now on seizure medication. I have always thought there was a connection between severe migraines and epilepsy... My sister used to pass out with a bad one and it was impossible to awaken her. One could do anything and she was GONE.. Imitrex is the only medication that helps her. Before that she was some times days in bed. Her migraines come from smells and all environmental caustic substances.... from perfumes to insecticides...etc.. Maybe your daughter would be willing to have an EGG. That might releive your mind a bit. If it comes out irregular she might have to go back on meds. I take my ONE pill at night before going to sleep. It does not effect me in anyway.

I've seen people experience seizures many times in my life. When I was in high school I worked with severely mentally disabled people who were wards of the state. The ones prone to seizures wore helmets when they were not in bed. It was a good thing, too. Some of the siezures were so powerful that it looked like some invisible force had lifted and thrust the person into something like a backwards head first dive to the floor. I'm assuming that the severe degree of mental retardation had something to do with the propensity for the seizues, but was not privy to the detailed medical data at the time.
