Good morning,

I am very sorry that your poor young sons suffers so much.

If you live in England I would suggest that you ask your doctor to seek a second opinion from the Great Ormonds streets Children's hospital for one of their senior neurologists to reassess your sons case.

Here's wishing you every success.

Ask your GP to refer you to for a second opinion Helen Cross is the leading neurologist specialising in epilepsy at Great Ormond street hospital for Sick children in Central London.

Take care.

Hi,

It is common for people with epilepsy to still experience symptoms when on medication (only about 2/3 people can be controlled by medication). However, lots of the medicines used for epilepsy are pretty serious ones and have common side effects which can also be no good for a person. Of course if your son is taking 5 medicines, there is 5x chance of getting a side effect! Maybe talk to the doctor about whether it is likely that anything he is experiencing might be caused by one of these drugs and can you take one away to see whether he becomes any better or worse?

All the best,

Amy
