I have a son who is 5 months old, had seizure 3rd day after he born. Then he was in ICU for a month. After that, he was advised to take phenobarbitone. But since seizure is not controlld, neurologist suggested to take Levipil along with that. It decreased to a level, but not completely controlled. So he advised us to take EEG and result was abnormal. He said, my son have too much electrical charge in brain which is affecting brain, so there will developmental delays. And he suggested us to give Valparin along with previous medication. After taking Valparin, he was good. Seizure free for 10 days.
But since we wanted second opinion, we went to a guy and he prescribed Lonazep and Nootropil over Valparin and Frisium. After my son started taking Lonazep and Nootropil, he is not doing like he did before. Now he started giving a small jerk like movement, by moving his right hand. So we took him to NIMHANS,Bangalore and they told it is rare condition and can be treated only with ACTH. But the next thing they said, i was dead inside. They said, even by taking this ACTH, i should not expect anything positive. Right now, he is taking Lonazep, Nootropil, Levipil and ACTH.
Does anybody have same issue and taken ACTH? Was it helped your kid? How about developmental growth?
Please help me with this....
