Hi Michelle,
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!

> We have long suspected a connection between low blood sugar and Aaron having a seizure. Many years ago when we had to call 911 for a never-ending seizure, of course the first thing the paramedic did was prick his finger and his blood sugar was in the basement! Then just today I "binged" this topic and came up with a whole slew of stuff. I'd love to hear what anybody has to say on this. We are constantly hounding Aaron to not go too long between meals, but the newest med to be added to the mix (Banzel) is just plain evil at trashing his appetite. So now I want to know more about how to maintain a proper blood sugar level, and is Lamictal contributing to low blood sugar. The search continues!
