i want to know as much as possiable about it they r talking about doin this on my daughter

I have heard in the past from several friends who have tried many others including surgery, implants or non-medication alternative methods.

Our son was diagnosed with CAE when he was 3 years old, he's now 11 years old & under his consultant was gradually weaned off his medication as he had been seizure free for two years
