| poor lily-ann is having more seizures....she had a 10min one the other day where it was like she was paralised and only her eyes could move...they were vacant though!(posted a vid on FB) and today she had 2 episodes of total floppiness, again unmoving with her eyes rolling into her head so that's 3 in a week...yet the doctors say it's not enough to try her on meds i hate seeing her like that...life is damn cruel sorry, in a ranty hormonal mood tonight! lol |

How many does she need to have before they will try to help her with them?

| not sure lisa, she can go months between having them so the dr says it's not a worry when she does have them...her eeg came back for negative for epilepsy so i don't think he's fully convinced it is seizures even though he's seen the vids and agreed it looks like it :? |

| Aww Kenty hun, I wish the doctors would provide you all with more help and support. I saw your video on FB. It must be so scary and upsetting to see your little princess like that. You and Sam are amazing parents hun and lily-ann and lewis will be able to face whatever life throws at them with you and Sam behind them.xx |

| It's awful Hun, I saw and commented on the video the other day. Is it pressure/ stress related, you know whiny day or tired, my friend has epilepsy and finds fits increase if she's stressed, tired and certain times like the hustle bustle of the build up to christmas, if she gets too hot (summer) etc generally make her more liable to fit and she is drug controlled. I'd keep pushing to try mess hub. It's gonna take a time for them to find a perfect med for her so the sooner they start sending you, oh and your beautiful children much love xxxx |

| now we know what it is it's not scary....but it's heart breaking, sometimes after she has them she screams and looks confused so i end up sitting rocking her while my heart shatters she's such a happy lil thing though it's baffling! |

| kenty the scream afterwards is because her muscle relax and it comes out . my unlce always confused aftwards and fiddles with things.. he also gets an increase in hot weather and when he is unwell and excitement or when he is busy xx keep pushing for them to give her some relief xx i havnt seen the video i bet its sad x |

| hun have you tried contact a family, they a support group for parents with children with disabilities, i tried them when rich was diagnosed with adhd and autism and a few other things. they helped me understand the condition but also what i could do to help.
i know a little boy who is having seizures and the doctors have told his carers that they must video it before they can diagnose because nothing on ecg.
i'd keep a log/diary and go to the doc with a whole load of evidence, it may be apart of her condition but surely they have to treat the symptoms so that they not as severe.
i dont suppose i been much help,m also sending a hug, watching my mom have seizures was heartbreaking so kind of know how you feeling |
