Hi Jasmom,
Welcome to the forum! I've had epilepsy since I was 10 yrs. old (45 now). I've had 2 brain surgeries to reduce my seizures since I've tried over 13 different seizure meds over the yrs. only to find that I'm drug resistant.
If I may ask what type of seizures does your son have and what meds is he taking?
One thing I learned is to stay away from nutra sweet because it can cause more electrical activity in the brain which can lead to seizures for many people. I've also tried the ketogenic diet and that has help cut back on my seizures greatly along with taking vitamin B12 once a day.
Feel free to ask any question everyone here will be happy to help out.
Here's wishing you and your family the best and May God Bless You!


Sue
