My 15 year old son was diagnosed with JME about a year ago. The neurologist told us that if he takes meds for 2 years he will basically be cured (less than 3% chance seizures will recur). I have not read that anywhere else - cannot find any documentation that says that.
Has anyone else been told this by neurologist?
This I have never heard of, as far as the "cure" your neurologist speaks of. My sister has Juvenile Myclonic Epilepsy and has had it around 30 years. If there was a cure, she would have had it. She has been on an array of anti-seizure medications for this type of epilepsy over the years and it's taken some time to regulate what meds work and which ones don't. I am unsure why your neurologist would say that 2 years on medications would cure him is not accurate. I would question him further and ask for evidence to support his statement.
