:They told me that he showed 2 seizure types.........

[Guest guest]

One was Tonic clonic or Grand Mals and the other subtle seizures.I

have not been the happiest with his neuroligist he seems to give me

only limited info.I repeatedly asked him about the subtle ones and he

just said that's what the EEG shows.Someone on one of the groups had

told me if he did'nt realize my son gaining 20 pounds on the Depakote

was a side effect then get rid of him.He has also had hypertension

that we couldn't get control of ,but then I think the weight gain

hasn't helped.They have had to put him on blood pressure

meds.Sometimes I think the meds are more trouble than they are worth

with all the side effects. has photosensitive epilepsy and so

far has done well if we just keep him away from flashing lights ,and

always make him wear sunglasses when using the computer.He's not on

the keto diet I was just curious about it and if it would help since

the meds where giving him such side effects.In him Linn
