You haven’t given many details to go on but one reason may be all LGS symptoms weren’t present at the initial evaluation of Epilepsy. LGS usually has different types of seizures which require various types of medication. There are approximately 40 types of seizures and syndromes thereby making it a complex condition to both diagnose and treat. It would be helpful if you could provide more specific details of the condition.

Brain surgery in 2012 Resection infectious in bone flap found and removed most of the infection in 2015. A year after infection was removed eye pain headaches and increased seizures occurred. Had an eeg found that no seizure activity wasn't shown till Convulsions started. What triggered the break through seizure was the light flashing.

Having issues with onfi weigh gain 15 pounds inventor mussel spasms noise startle me and puffy lips. What do I do? Called dr. Two days ago still haven't heard back yet

same exact thing happened to my 38 yr old daughter. I think they use LGS when they cant think of anything else. Frustrating
