Went to the neurologist for Hannah yesterday. He had upped her meds a month ago (doubled them) because he wanted the Tegretol at a specific level and hopefully control her seizures.
At this appointment we learned that the blood tests showed the tegretol level in her blood didn't even go up 2/10ths - so very minimal.
Why - when the dose was DOUBLED???
Answer - her metabolism is too high - DUH! The doctor said this as Hannah was jumping around the office...and had already had 41 seizures that day.
SO - we are doubling everything AGAIN and seeing if that will work.
This metabolism thing is, of course, why she eats and yet stays slender, slender, slender.
I want to switch my metabolism for hers - just for one month. Please.
