My son has ESES. He was put on prednisone for 6 months and it has helped tremendously. But so many bad side affects. Blood pressure. Weight gain etc. but now we are weaning off not sure what will happen. We were told about this IVIG could help and be our next step Do you find that there has been behavioral issues and cognitive with this disease?

Hi @wowsmurf
I can not tell you if there are any behavioral issues and cognitive issues with ESES specifically. But for sure, there are those issues in epilepsy. The AEDs can also bring changes in behavior. Keppra is for example well known for the Keppra rage side-effect.
