[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 480867, member: 1233"] Thanks. We are still waiting to hear from the neuro if he will at least treat J's migraines and if he will treat the absence seizures. None were caught on the EEG, the one thing that might have shown something (the leg spasms) happened during the night that one of the leads was off - and apparently they lost about 30 HOURS because no one in the EEG dept checked on it (they can monitor from their office with-o coming to to the room) and everything that showed up was clouded by muscle movements because the leads were not on. The medications she was on were already workign on the absence seizures before we got there, but they wouldn't stop them for the test (I objected, but no one listened who had the power to change it, grrr). I probably won't know more about her until next week, but am taking her to the primary care doctor for a referral to a rheumatologist. If it isn't neuro, and the psychiatrist says it isn't psychiatric, then we check the next thing which is arthritis or auto-immune system problems. Hopefully the migraines are enough reason to keep her on the neurontin. It is the first medication to do anything to prevent migraines for her (we have tried 4 others but they didn't work well and side effects were problematic). So after we see the doctor about the referral I will post more. [/QUOTE]
