It really is imperative to getting an accurate diagnosis to get all the testing. There are so many new options available now to treating uncontrolled seizures like implants and laser surgery. If you have the ability to get to an Epilepsy Center in a hospital for diagnostics I would more than recommend it.

The epilepsy foundation has great info and can help you locate treatment and support.

And boy do I know that living in fear bit..I get nervous with him driving and there are times that those normal twitches at night jar me awake. I remember those sleepless nights and the anxiety of waiting for the aid car to come.

Please feel free to PM me.... I'd be more than happy to lend a listening ear and share "war" stories....
