[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 640090, member: 1233"] I am sorry you are going through all of this again. She just never stops, does she? Didn't one of her past tdocs say that her main goal in life was to go back to living in your house and having you support her completely? Her current actions and statements seem to be yet another attempt to make that happen. I know a couple of people who run rehabs/detox places. I asked 2 of them if an epilepsy diagnosis would keep a client from being accepted into a residential program. They laughed at the very idea. Epilepsy is often comorbid with other diagnosis's that patients often self medicate rather than staying on their medications. Plus some of those other diseases/problems are often treated with antiseizure medications and going cold turkey or mixing those medications with drugs/alcohol can often cause seizures in those who don't have epilepsy. Add into this that both alcohol and benzo use and/or withdrawal can cause seizures, well, treatment centers tend to be pretty experienced with seizures. I am sure some will not take patients with seizures, but many places are able to accept clients with seizures. Also, what are the odds that your difficult child has gone to a doctor or hospital for an EEG? That she has done this in a short amount of time AND gotten the results AND a diagnosis AND that difficult child has actually contacted a program about this? The chances of all of those things happening in the amount of time that difficult child has had seem slim at best. Stay strong and let difficult child figure this out for herself. She hasn't learned from all of the programs and homes and tdocs/psychiatrists/otherdocs that you have provided. Another program getting through to her and changing things for the better seems like magical thinking on your part. I really wish there was some magic program or bean that would help all of you.
