za's up to her neck in it at the moment and has asked me to post

this question for her. I will pass on any answers.

Eddie has had his second seizure in 6 days. They are tonic clonic

seizures. She's basically after any info at all as she's new to this.

She's heard that mag, b6 iron and copper imbalances, 5htp and taurine

might be triggers for seizures and that she should keep a diary.

but apart from the above, what would be helpful to look out for? Also

what do you do during a seizure? He fell over and he was goign blue.

Should she move him? put him into any particular position?

The hospital didn't give her any info like this.

Also she doesn't fancy going into hosp every time they happen cos they

only seem to do obs. Are siezures safe to manage at home? under what

circumstances would you go into hosp?

Any tips or advice at all welcome,

Thanks,

Sara xxx
