Hi Sue. I think its a good idea then if i really look into getting a dog. Well my sz. have never been this bad, but they always do increase in the fall/winter.

Also the dogs are well known for laying on the floor to protect a person if they fall during the sz.
If I may ask do you have more sz. in the fall and winter than in the spring and summer? I always have more sz. in the fall and winter and my epileptolgist told me it's because there's less light and ceritone (sp?) so try and get a bright light and see if that helps you also. I wish you the best of luck and May God Bless You!
Sue
