What to do about Sz

Hello all,

 

I've come to this as I am all out of options and am begining to deal with what sz. means for me and my family.  I will never give up trying but I just don't see any progress.  My sister is sz. and it has been a traumatizing experience for me and my family.  I am 4 years younger then my sister who was diagnosed when she was 19 years old.  She is now 30.  She just seems thtatshe has evolved in the disease.  This post is not for her, it is me.  Once I begin typing I feel a release.  I know that there are other people out there with the same problem and other people who deal with sz.  From what I read my sister seems to be a typical case as I see similarities.  She refuses help.  Or she actually puts it together for a certain perid of time in front of doctors.  However as the family we deal with her outbreaks.  Does anyone know about meds my sister can take?  She has taken some but believes that the side effects are worse then what she is doing to herself.  I need to/ want to talk to her doctor.  But my sister is always scared about returning to the hospital. 

Thanks for listening even if noone is.
