A member asked:

How can i control epilepsy and school?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Can be controlled: If you are encountering frequent seizures, more than 20 medicines exist to assist control, and if 2-3 total meds fail, a vagal nerve stimulator may be the answer. You need to see a neurologist in a major medical center, and have this entire situation reassessed. You can do far better with an appropriate program.
