Hi Folks,
The DNA testing is fairly new as Jerri mentioned but it helps find the correct AED for the person without having to try so many different AED's. I know when they did the DNA testing on me the Dr. found that I was drug resistant and that the only AED's that would help me the most is mysoline and diamox without causing bad side effects or more sz. I want to thank you Jerri for posting the page. Cedar, according to my epi and other Drs. the DNA testing will help will any kind of medical condition to find the right med for a person. If you have ever seen forensic science it will help you understand it much. Here's wishing all of you well and May God Bless You! Sue |

Hi Cedar,
I found out about the DNA testing when speaking with my epi I asked my epi to do a DNA test on me to find what AED would help me the most. Drs. make a lot of money giving their patients perscriptions and I ask myself the question:"Is this why they don't do DNA tests?" It could also be the neuro/epi that you see and their location. I go to a University Medical School and Hospital where they are teaching and learning more each day to staff and students and this could be why I was able to get DNA testing done. When you see your neuro. again I would request a DNA test be done to see if you are on the best AED's for your sz. Here's wishing you well and May God Bless You! Sue |
