Thanks! Yes, he is very distraught. He has 3 small children and no family close so all of us parents are staying in 2 week timeframes to help out. Looks like the closest Mayo Clinic would be in Arizona. Appears they have a lot more diagnostic services than are available here. While he hates to leave his family, I am encouraging him to go find out a cause if possible and not just treat the symptoms. Any suggestions would be appreciated...he and his wife are trying to be patient with the slow process here but as a parent, I feel the longer he takes these medications that affect the brain, the worse off he will be.
Thanks again!

I will make it a priority this afternoon to contact Mayo in Jax to try and get some directions for you and your son. I will update you ASAP with what I can get from them.

@1990mom - really hope your son does decide to aggressively pursue finding out what's causing his symptoms. I'm sorry to hear he's distraught. Understandable.

I hear you on parenting an adult child you cannot "make" do anything. My children are 16 and 18, and I'm getting a strong dose of that with my 18-year-old. Almost easier when they are 8 and you can just tell them what they are going to do.

How is he doing? Has he experienced any more seizures?
