Yes we keep track of them on a calendar and include the time of day. It appears he is more likely to have a seizure if he's gone too long between meals, but then he also has plenty when that's not the case. Aaron knows the drill but he's also a very hard-headed young man so at the ripe old age of almost 23, it's his decision when to eat.

> Have you ever tried keeping daily charts of the time breakfast, lunch and dinner are? Also marking the time of a seizure on that chart? Might it be that a seizure pattern could show on days where a longer period of time is taken between meals?

> Seizures can be brought on for so many different reasons. By charting out seizures, patterns can be shown. For me, many seizures where caused by spending to much time on the computer. In time I learned the longer the time on the computer, the higher the chance of a seizure. The more I played tennis at night (looking into the lights), the higher the chance of a seizure. Not enough sleep, the increase of a chance for a seizure.

> If a pattern is shown, Aaron would then learn and realize its his choice to lower the chance of a seizure by eating at the times needed. It would then simply be his call how to act to prevent his own seizures. The ball is simply in his own hands? There is so much more to stopping seizures than just the meds. Not having my seizures under control for most of my 34 years of epilepsy taught me how to cut down the chance of a seizure. Take care, keep a smile on your face!
