Guest guest Posted April 19, 2004 Report Share Posted April 19, 2004 Hi ne....... Welcome back. Sorry about the circumstances, though. I love this group but wish I didn't have to be here sometimes..... bittersweet, isn't it? Hope things get better when you get that extra weight off. That has caused problems for us in the past. I'll be interested in how it goes with this med. I haven't heard of it before...... so it's not a seizure med? It's for the headaches? Irritability has always been part of the picture for Katera....... some days are better than others. Headaches are supposed to be common with her particular brain disorder so I wonder sometimes...... of course, she can't tell us. hugs to ..... Patti, mom to Katera started Seroquel My daughter started a medication called Seroquel this week. Does anyone have experience with it? We decided to try it because she may be possibly having bad headaches and is very irritable and throwing her head back constantly (slamming it many times). She started having seizures about a month and a half ago. The diet didn't fail. I slipped on it. The thing was I was thinking " if it's not broke, don't fix it " . She went for almost a year seizure free so I wasn't paying attention to weight gain. Well, she gained 11 pounds and is now having seizures and all this crap that seems to go along with it. Adjusted calories with the dietitian a few weeks ago and added this med so I know now it's a waiting game. Body needs to adjust. I did have a couple different behavorists see her and neither feels what is going on with she has control of. They feel its neurological and related to the seizures. Their advice is get her seizure free again because man she was a happy kid then with none of this stuff so that's the goal. I just hope it's achieved quick, I feel horrible for her. School is pushing her out cause they can't handle it, they gave us through the summer but told us she needs a new place for Sept. A school that handles kids with behaviors that seemed perfect, turned her down. (But that could be an answer to prayer) Any input is appreciated and of course prayer. Keto group - Yes, we're back. I've been a big lurker. ne & in NJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
