Im sorry if this sounds stupid..but I cant find any answers anywhere!
Does the eeg change all the time? if its fine one week can it go back to being abnornal the next? will this happen for the rest of their lives? or just in childhood?
Even in adulthood will they still have a dignosis of LKs? or when the brain patterns have settled down does the diagnosis go??
sorry to sound so dumb but noone seems to give me a straight answer about anything. My other daughter has Autism and I have information and help by the lorry load!!
