Hi,
First and foremost, DVT itself is a significant cause of the worsening of seizures.
Headaches and seizures along with
vomiting and generalized weakness are the most common features of DVT. If your symptoms have exacerbated since the DVT, I would suggest that you focus completely on the treatment of DVT.
You may find that once the DVT has settled, your seizures frequency may be reduced to the prior frequency. Secondly, you have had childhood seizures. I would really like to know what the syndromic diagnosis was, that was made at that time. What were the MRI and/or EEG reports like? What was the treatment that you have been on? Without that information, it is difficult to make a suitable suggestion as far as medication is concerned. However,
ketogenic diet is something that has been found to be very helpful in refractory and difficult to treat seizures.
I would suggest trying a ketogenic diet. If that is too hard for you to follow, replace it with a modified ketogenic diet. Ketogenic diets are rich in fat, with moderate protein and low
carbohydrate content. Reduced carbohydrate in the diet triggers the generation of
Ketone bodies during
metabolism of fat. Our body can use these ketone bodies in place of
glucose to fulfill its energy needs. In fact, certain body parts / organs prefer ketone over glucose as the fuel. Lack of carbohydrates accelerates fat metabolism for increased production of ketone bodies. This results in reduction of the accumulated fat and hence weight.

I hope this helps. Feel free to contact me if you need any further information (with the details I have requested before).
