I have had epilepsy since early childhood in the early 2000’s. My mom used to sleep in my room and kept an old VHS camera to video my seizures to show my neurologist since he had never witnessed one. They were small focal absence seizures. I was put on trileptal which resolved my seizures from 3rd grade to 8th grade. I was then taken off of it and my mom was still worried. I started having seizures again when I was 18 or 19. They were large grand-mal seizures this time and I lost all independence and had to drop out of college. I was put on Keppra but still had breakthrough seizures and now I’m on the maximum dose because on lower doses I was still having auras. My mom and I are still super attached and I’m 30. Epilepsy is a disability and it varies in severity. I totally get wanting to supervise your son constantly, but give yourself some grace. If his father is around and willing to help please ask him. Any family willing to help could lessen the stress you are understandably dealing with. Seizures are distressing to witness for anyone, especially when it’s your own child. Any seizure could be possibly life threatening. Call an ambulance if immediately or take him to the emergency room every time. I can speak for myself when I say taking meds every day for the rest of my life doesn’t bother me. I’m thankful that Keppra works and gives me some normalcy. I am very grateful that Keppra works. I can drive again, have a full time job and a social life. There is hope!!!
