Guest guest Posted July 6, 2010 Report Share Posted July 6, 2010 Hi All, Dr Goldberg has been treating our son for 10 years. He is now 13. In the last year and a half he has been having seizures that are getting progressively worse & we are unable to get them under control. Our local pediatrician & neurologist are insisting we discontinue the antiv viral (currently Famvir). She is concerned that the anti viral could be triggering the seizures. Dr G has repeatedly pleaded with us not to do this as he says the results would be " disastrous " . We are feeling extremely pressurized by our neurologist. He is having daily seizures & this is having a devastating effect on him & our whole family. Any advice on this would be appreciated Regards Sharon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 10, 2010 Report Share Posted July 10, 2010 How scary! Are there any other theories about why your son started having seizures? Any other meds he is/was on? What about hormones? Can changes in hormones (puberty onset) trigger them? Kristy Nardini TazziniTM Stainless Steel Bottles <http://www.tazzini.com/> http://www.tazzini.com kristy@...
