[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 191499, member: 3444"] Thanks, Susie. Believe me, if this were MY doctor or difficult child's, I would have looked elsewhere a long time ago. But it's husband's and this guy is the head of the epilepsy program at our local teaching hospital. We did not choose his facility for husband's brain surgery because the surgeon he referred us to was very pushy -- we felt like we were talking to a car salesman. But he's okay for getting in to see and dealing with medications. Turns out, my mom said she can come over to watch the kids that afternoon, so it looks like I'll be tagging along :) I think the neuro felt a bit put-off by me when we first met because I had essentially figured out what type of seizure husband was having before we even got there. When I told him what I thought he looked almost shocked that a lay person could figure this out simply by searching the internet. Granted, I didn't know WHY he was having the seizures -- it took an MRI to tell us that! And I'm sure he realizes I have a huge influence on husband's medical decisions. He was really disappointed that we didn't use his surgeon. You'd have thought he was getting commission on the procedure! L'sMP -- thank you for sharing your experience with seizures and the medications used to treat them! I think the neuro had Trileptal in mind... at least that's what husband told me, but he could be mistaken. We'll find out more on Wednesday, and I will DEFINITELY be making the case for managing the moods as well as the seizures! [/QUOTE]
