Is there groups or epilepsy foundations for carers. I don't know if this occurs They might have some sort of teaching services for carers.

I hope things settle down for you both. It is a scary situation to watch from my experience its seems to be scarier for others than myself. Take care

Kenters90, sorry to hear your mom is dealing with. Are you and your mom aware of all the meds and migraine drugs she is taking? For example the dosages, the side effects, and conflicts these drugs are producing? Are you keeping a journal of all the activity that is going on and when? You can use the information gathered to share with her doctor and make adjustments to make her feel better.

Hi Kent. I'm sorry to hear about your Mom's pain. I'm sure it's hard for you also. Just keep working with the doctor trying to get the right dose. You can also go see a different doctor. Prayers for your mother and for you. Have a good day.
