Epilepsy
One day my niece fell on the floor and began to convulse. We took her to the hospital and then to a clinic. In the beginning it was thought to be possible trichinosis, but then we found out that she was suffering from epilepsy.
Marisol and Stephanie Solis’ Story
Guayaquil, Ecuador
South America
Epilepsy
“My daughter, Stephanie, is 16 years old. She was having convulsions every 3 hours. This began when she was 8 years old and now she is 16 years old. Sometimes she had convulsions the whole night through, one after the other. I had to run to the hospital and we returned the following day. She has been taking the medicine Tegretol, but still continued with the many attacks.”
