Hi Theresa, This was a private adoption. We did not go through anyone. A couple who
are friends of our's at church were expecting, and knew they could not...

My 12 1/2 year old son just had an EEG done and it came back that he had sharp waves in his right temporal lobe. The pediatric neurologist told me that this...
I have some advice. I would have a second opinion. I do know that the Lamictal can cause mood changes because I researched the medication before putting my 2...
Hey girl I have found a discount program that i can put my little girl on and they don't worry about the epilepsy. Also I would talk to your local epilepsy...
Hi Catherine, I had mood problems as a child regardless of which epilepsy medication I was on. He is also a pre-teen which can dramatically add to this...

a doctor,...

term, but not as a long term medication, because it can have some bad...
