That's funny how you worked out the problems in your dreams. I work out my best solutions there or in the shower  |
I hope your son doesn't have epilepsy. If he does, there are some types that kids kind of grow out of eventually. There are many forms and causes. My mother had epilepsy, but she never grew out of it. My husband's best friend's daughter seems to have. I think I have only ever mentioned this to Wild Coyote, but even I have an epilepsy diagnosis, but one where you don't lose consciousness. It's actually not a definitive diagnosis (neurologist said yes, epileptologist "not definitive"), but it was a rough enough period for me that I'd be extremely reluctant to give up my Tegretol XR (also a bipolar moodstabilizer). Tegretol XR was my hero during that period. It may be why I can continue life as if I don't have epilepsy.
