Greetings!!
 It is great to have you come and be with us. You will fine a great number of dear friends to listen when you are in need of ears. Please, just let us know how we can help you out. You will find out we are supportive and relaxing place.
I too have epilepsy, since I was about 10. You might want to ask your family Dr. to refer you to see a Epileptologist (Dr. specializing in epilepsy.) You can usually find an Epileptologist at a big hospital or a University hospital. These Drs. know how to treat both epilepsy and other neurology disorders. These Drs. will do tests on a person and find the cause of the epilepsy, keep them on the least amount of sz. medicine, they are updated on any new treatments for epilepsy.
Try taking vitamin B12 once a day, cut back on caffeine, starch foods, and carbs and you may want to stay away from anything with nutra sweet in it because the nutra sweet causes more electrical activity in the brain and can sometimes cause sz. for a person. Start keeping track of your sz. and write down what time they happen and describe them. Then have him avoid watching shows that send out bright flashing lights, like at a theater, just have him turn his head. You might keep a close I on him during the fireworks show.
