There is no need in mentioning it to her. That was for your information and education only. She may prescribe a med for your son and who knows, it may stop his seizures. Give it a try, but you know there is another route if they don't stop them after a good try. She is not the one to arrange that appt, so do not mention it to her. Go there and listen. Ask lots of questions an write them down if you have to. It is easy to forget during an appt. Describe what is going on, take your seizure calendar, and see what her plan is at this point. Find out diagnosis and type of seizures, but they seem like Partials, both Simple and Complex. There is more that one cause for seizures, so see what she thinks abt a possible cause. In some cases, there is no known cause. Let her do her thing and start a treatment plan, but if the meds do not stop them, you know there is another route out there, so all is not lost. Get PCP to do the referral at that time, not tomorrow. Even if you did end up at an Epileptologist at a Compehensive Center, after they come up with a treament plan that works, many times they refer back to the local neurologist to manage the case. so you will already have her to come back to if it turns out that way. I will check on Comprehensive Centers in your state. Tattoo
