Epilepsy (sometimes referred to as a seizure disorder) is a common chronic neurological condition that is characterized by recurrent unprovoked epileptic seizures. It affects approximately 50 million people worldwide.[1] It is usually controlled, but not cured, with medication – although surgery may be considered in difficult cases. Epilepsy is usually treated with medication prescribed by a physician; primary caregivers, neurologists, and neurosurgeons all frequently care for people with epilepsy. In some cases the implantation of a stimulator of the vagus nerve, or a special diet can be helpful. Neurosurgical operations for epilepsy can be palliative, reducing the frequency or severity of seizures; or, in some patients, an operation can be curative.

How is your friend’s daughter condition? Is she seizure free?

My daughter follows the medication (i am there to make sure), sleep early (i am there to remember her everyday at 1030pm), but stress wise, quite tough as her school wk and her coming national exam.

Her neuro still titrating her medication. Her tonic clonic seizure is not quite under control.

Is your friend willing to know me? I am keen to be friend with her.
