what you describe sounds like complex partial seizures.  the w/u would 
require an EEG and CT scan.  if the CT scan is negative and the EEG shows 
focal activity, then the treatment is antiseizure medications such as 
phenytoin, phenobarbital etc.

Good morning both of you. My name is Fran�ois Auger and I am a student in the 
departement of chiropractic of the Universit� du Qu�bec � Trois-Rivi�res. 

As I can see you first started by seeking medical help. I think it was the 
right thing to do. Now your facing a problem. Nothing seems to work. Maybe it 
would be good to seek an alternative route for Matteo's problem.

Chiropratic could not be consider the first step in the management of an 
epilepsy problem but there is in the litterature some cases of individuals who 
have improve there condition following chiropractic care.

Sorry for my english but it is not my mother language. If you have any 
question about the possibilities of treatment contact me. I would be glad to 
answer your question.

Good luck

Fran�ois Auger

Habe ich hier eine voellig falsche Vorstellung, was "Chiropratic" 
bedeutet, oder hat der sie nicht mehr alle ?
