Hi, I’m 19 and still waiting to grow out of them (really really hoping so so that I can drive) had had a few tonic clonic in the past most recent being June and the one before that 18 months. I’m on lamotrigine but only see the neurologist once a year and my next one has been pushed back 7 months! And I don’t seem to be able to communicate much with him. Is there anything I can do to help stop like keto diet..does that help?

@ambo2006 I totally forgot Keto is supposed to help seizures. Does anyone know why? I’ve had more seizures in the last week than I’ve had in the last couple of years. I’ve had my doses changed and it didn’t help. Boo! Maybe I’ll start keto After Christmas. It’s the one day a year where everyone is eating the egg casserole, the cinnamon pull apart bread, etc. and I eat a big piece of chocolate cake with my coffee. I’ve done this for years and my relatives. Still look at me like if they can’t believe I’m doing it and every year when they ask why I respond with, “because I can.” so much of a life is a choice. If you celebrate the holidays, I hope they are great, happy, healthy, and full of cake.
