Even with all the medical advances, relatively speaking, neurology is still in the dark ages compared to cardiology, cancer research, pulmonology, etc. My wife has epilepsy, she has on very few occasions had minor episodes, generally staring in space, but is now on Keppra which seems to be working very well. My lovely daughter when she was 8 had one petite mal seizure. Technically she’s still considered epilectic, any freshman med student who reads her EEG could see the abnormal activity, but she hasn’t had another seizure since then and does not need any meds. Go figure.
My wife had to get off Keppra, which replaced Topomax. She’s one of the minority can’t take AEDs because they go bad on her after a few months. Increased seizures and thoughts of suicide are the two big problems when AEDs go bad.
Sounds like her brain has “quarantined” the problem area, so whatever goes on in there does not affect anyplace else. Nice work!
