WelcomeReducing the seizures
Submitted by just_joe on Thu, 2018-02-22 - 19:27
WelcomeReducing the seizures from 200 to 25 is very good. I did notice they you posted 4 and a few others then added what he is currently on Keppra, Omfi, Depakote and the KETO diet. One thing you might not have considered is the fact that as his body changes either medications or their dosages need changed or adjusted. The reduction you have seen shows that they are working. But which needs adjusting. As the body grows the medications need to be adjusted. I know I had to have mine adjusted about 6 times in a 9 month period of time. Changing from a kid to a teen wasn't easy but we kept my seizures down with those adjustments. Testing is being done on CBD your neurologist might know where in your state testing is being done. My neurologists office was one which testing for new drugs was being done for years. I have no idea where the testing for CBD is being done but you might get that information calling the 24/7 help line. That number is 1-800-332-1000I hope this helpsJoe
