Increase in Tremors

Stacy has been staying at her mother's in Warsaw for the last few days. Last night they called and told me she was having more tremors than usual. Some were lasting 15 minutes and they also involved her legs and arms. A reminder for those that don't know, these are not seizures in any form and do not indicate an oncoming seizure. This is unfortunately just another problem she has due to her brain damage. Today I took off work and took her to her local neurologist and he increased her Enderol to a double dose for her morning set of pills. Hopefully this will help. A good thing is that she had no problem today. It seems impossible to pinpoint as to what triggers these.

One thing they did tell us in Chicago is that if we have the surgery to help her epilepsy, it will not help the tremors since again, they are not in any way related to a seizure.
