@santosha -- good morning--
To answer your questions-- which are great ones because they ask me to notice more.
1. is my son still experiencing focal seizures? yes, they seem to happen, but not as many and -- he's become more attentive to "them" -- sometimes he'll seek out a quiet place (leave grocery store & sit in car), not go to a social setting, etc... where before he kinda just went alone with whatever.---thus, he seems more self-aware (physically and mentally/emotionally).
2. Trileptal --now takes 25 mg LESS daily.... it'll be a slow process, thankfully.
3. When Xcopri levels and vocabulary increase, etc:
I started noticing at 150 mg that his vocabulary was increasing..also, of all things, his inner wisdom. Yesterday, gently, he put his hand on my shoulder and said "Mom, why do you begin the day by getting on the computer? " I'm aware of this habit, but having it come from him---well, this morning began with my opening a book I've meant to read for weeks.
--About your keeping a dairy: I've been doing that for my son --at wise suggestion of his neurologist.-- now I realize I've gone slack in this regard--...yet ---just yesterday, for 1st time ever we had a 'letter' addressed to son's Nurse Practitioner (NP)--- son & I had worked on this together. Points were re: what's improved, what concerns he has, and help he needs
(NP) nurse practitioner told me 3 different times that the 'letter' was 'very helpful.'
