help with getting diagnosed   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #51 of 1721 |
Hi my son just turned three and five mos ago he had his first seizure.
An EEG showed he has characteristics for LKS although his neurologist
is hesitant to diagnosis him due to his age. He does have a speech
delay is is currently going to speech tx. Has anyone else had similiar
issues getting a true diagnosis? Thank you-Stacey Monroe
