What Causes Recurrent Seizures?
My daughter had two seizures separated by more tha 24 hours ( about 7 months apart) an EEG and MRI are scheduled but not done; the doctor immediately prescribed Keppra; this seems too much like CYA rather than rational use of a drug to control a known something. Am I being too critical? Moreover, the first incident can be linked to severe pain and the other to a drug with fainting as a side effect. Is the doctor s prescription the logical choice the reasonable choice?
