The biggest majority of times we do not know why we have seizures. Unless we have some underlying cause to
pinpoint.
A lot of the tests we take are to eliminate these things...like stroke, diabetis, things like that they can
actually say is the cause. Otherwise we just plumb have Epilepsy.

That is true, because my seizures have never shown up on one. And I take genric brands on one of my meds for
sz.
I have gone to other dr's and they dont even know why I have them.

Jamie,
Just because a sz doesn't show on the EEG doesn't mean she doesn't have EP.
Quite a few of us have better luck with the brand name than generic.

My daughter Megan (9 years old) is the reason I joined. We are still trying to get a diagnosis. First the
neuro said looked liked epi. but they have never showed on EEG. SHe only has them at night and the look like
simple partial. They come in clusters sometimes as often as every cople of minutes and sometimes 45 minutes
apart. She is on generic for Kepra. Each time we would increase the dose we had a couple of weeks without any,
omce we had 13 weeks with out an episode. We thought okay we got it but they came back.
Her neuro is referring her to Stanford where they will look at sleep as well as seizures. Hopefully we can get
some answers but at least she hasnt been having them night after night any more and her emotional helath and
physical health has imporved so much since we started treating her.
Thank you all for this site. It really helped me especially at the beginning and continues to do so.
Sincerly,
Jamie
