[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 301411, member: 3444"] Yes, I just don't understand why the neuro wouldn't even TRY increasing the Trileptal. So that's another reason why I think husband should consider looking for another doctor. Although, this guy is head of the epilepsy center at a local teaching hospital, and he's the one everyone says we should go to.... Maybe we should check out someone up at the hospital where husband had his surgery. It's just that it's so far to drive (50 miles each way) for an appointment -- but hey, I already drive there for difficult child 1's GI doctor... And this hospital (where the current neuro is at) seems to have a reputation for wanting to just cut something out if it's causing a problem. They wanted to remove my dad's bladder instead of treating his bladder cancer. And their first reaction to husband's issues was to remove the hippocampus on that side. Argh. Personally, I like to try to keep as many of my body parts as possible, and try non-invasive, or minimally invasive techniques first. Now that I've thought about this here... I think I'll have husband call his surgeon and ask about a referral to a neuro in their area. PS Thanks everyone for the feedback on medications, etc. It's very helpful to know what to expect. And Star... I think husband needs that ointment for his brain... :p [/QUOTE]
