avlady,

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.

My best advice for you is to see an Epileptologist (specialist in epilepsy) at an Epilepsy Center you can usually medical university hospitals, they can pinpoint the exact cause of your epilepsy.

Keep away from a lot of food with carbs. and starch in them because it can trigger seizures and start taking vitamin B12 once a day this helps calms the nerves down. Also keep a journal and write down what time she has any seizures along with a description by doing this the Dr. may see a pattern in the seizures. Also when in the theater watching a movie, avoid seeing the flashing lights by turning her head and closing your eyes.
Please keep us up to date on your situation. Again welcome, looking forward to seeing you around. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
