HELLO-- WHEN MY DAUGHTER WAS 14 SHE WAS ELECTROCUTED AND HAS SINCE SUFFERED WITH ELECRTICAL INDUCED SEIZURES--ABOUT EVERY 6 MONTHS. ARE THERE ANY TREATMENT OPTIONS OR WAYS TO 'GROUND' HER?

The only way that this can be controlled is through anti-seizure medication and the proper diet. You can have her seen by a neurologist to see if there are any neurological problems caused by the electrocution and they may be able to lessen or better control the seizures by doing an MRI to check for any neurological impairment but there is no way to actually per say ground her to where she does not suffer these seizures, so if she is still experiencing them I would recommend an MRI and a check to see if she needs an increase in the strength of the anti-seizure medication.

Reply to Cheryl K.'s Post: THANK YOU FOR RESPONDING. wHAT IS AN APPROPRIATE DIET? aLSO-I WAS TOLD THAT ANTI-SEIZURE MEDS WERE NOT INDICATED FOR HER BECAUSE THE SEIZURES WERE APPROX. EVERY 6 MONTHS OR SO-- DOES THAT SEEM RIGHT TO YOU? OR WOULD A LOW DOSE OF SOMETHING LIKE KLONOPIN AS A SAFETY MEASURE BE BETTER?? THANX FOR YOUR ADVICE?

You are so very welcome for my response, and yes they usually do not recommend or prescribe anti-seizure medication when the seizures are spaced out this far apart. I was not aware how often she suffered from them. It does seem right that her seizures are considered infrequent enough that they would not want to start her on anti-seizure medications. A low dose of Klonopin might help out in this instance so it is something that I would definately recommend that you ask her physician about, but if the seizures become more frequent they should consider anti-seizure medication. Once again you are so very welcome for my advice and if you have any further questions please let me know.
