Follow up with KKH

18th December 2009, Friday

Yesterday we went back to KKH neurology for monthly follow up.

As usually, to up Janelle's drug dosage again as she still having seizure. But from Nov's once every 3 days to once ever week after introduce tuina to her.

According to doc, Eplim max dosage is at 7ml for janelle and she is now still at 3ml, so still got room for up the dosage. however, the other 2 drug she is having - nitrazepam and carbazepine had hit the max dosage. and if eplim hit the max dosage and she still having seizure, then have to add on the 4th drug... very sad right.. the more drug she takes, the more harmful it will be.

Before i went off, i checked with him regarding about stem cells treatment. His answer is NO. the reason is the technology still new, and it had not proven it is a solution for epilepsy. and he has oversea patients who had tried this and the treatment was failed. It seems to make the seizure worst and the cells had developed into something else in the brain. so, not for now.
