Kate,

What a blessing to be symptomatic in front of your neuro. That can make all of the difference.

If you are going to talk to the youth, let me know and I will put together some information for you. There is some information that is specifically relevant to adolescents and their parents.

I lived through concussion induced seizures at 16 years old. Since then, my study has found many issues of importance to adolescents.

My neuro refused to call it epilepsy. He did not want to get me stigmatized by writing epilepsy in my medical record. He just called it trauma induced seizure disorder.

Time to go take my daily dose of Neurontin, my seizure med of choice.

My best to you.
