Hello,
epilepsy management is a multi-disciplinary approach. A team of neurologists and neurosurgeons can assess if the condition is possible to cure via offering epilepsy surgery in select cases. Many cases can be controlled reasonably well with medications itself.

Hello,
itss good that you have given a good history of your symptoms. Yes you can take neurokind without any problems. In addition do not bend forwards / do not strain your back, sleep on a hard bed with a mattress and always sit on a dining chair with thin cushion etc rather than sofa and low seating arrangements.

Hello,
it is not clear that whether you were taking medicine when the child was in utero, if the baby is born and is healthy then there is no problem. All antiepileptic drugs have a small chance of in utero damage but epilepsy itself can cause damage to the foetus so generally a low dose to control seizures is used during pregnancy.
