[QUOTE="slsh, post: 301291, member: 8"] gcv - so glad to hear that the cavernoma is stable. Great news!!! Too bad you can't get husband into a pediatric neuro. ;) There is a huge difference in philosophy between pediatrician neuros and the adult neuros I've dealt with - the latter tend to be more "deal with it". Not aggressive at all in terms of tackling the seizures and at least trying to stop them. I don't know why there's such a noticeable difference in treatment philosophy, but... there it is. The pediatrician neuro's goal was *always* seizure suppression - I really don't get the feeling that a lot of adult neuros see that as the goal. I think it's the same situation that we all ran into when trying to decide if our difficult children needed to be medicated and if so, what would work. It's an art to find the right medication or combo of medications. With the right "artist" I think medication management of seizures is possible, at least so that it doesn't interfere as much with- husband's quality of life. [/QUOTE]
