Your brother might be suffering from idiopathic generalized epilespy. If he has additional myoclonus then it can jme. Valproate is a good choice for such epilepsy. 2 years of seizure control is required but it is not necessary that after that he will be seizure free for life. Because sometimes seizures recur if the precipitating factors are not taken care of. Like sleep deprivation, stress, fasting, etc.

Hii you need to be on migraine prophylaxis like propranolol topiramate valproate kind of medicines because of frequent attacks. That is long term treatment for 6 -12 months .so that attack frequency is reduced. And also avoid pain killers very often. Only in severe attack Naproxyn etc or triptans can be used.

Valparin chrono contains sodium valproate which is not safe in pregnancy, with its intake during pregnancy there is a high incidence of baby having congenital anamolies.
You should consult your doctor so that he can prescribe you safer antiepileptic drugs before the process of ivf statyd.

I really need some advice or more better if help. Symptoms - fat deposition on my chest, waist, hips. Nipples look swollen up when body temp. Is hot and shrinks to normal when come in touch to cold things or in cold environment. It is happening from the time I ran into puberty but fat deposition started 2 years ago. But now its embarrassing. I use to have medical history of seizure disorder and its medication course was completed a year ago. Some thing I did't added previously. Doctors gave me sodium valporate 600 mg everyday. But due to overdose I got acute pancreatitis then they switch me to sodium dilantin 300 mg/day at night. This case is 6 year old. At that time it started. I consulted the doctor he said it will go away with time but it did not instead it increased but slowly. G - male Age - 20.

The commonest explaination could be also as simpl...more
