Hello!
My name is Dr. Aida and I am glad to attend you on Healthcaremagic!
Your symptoms seem to be related to persistent seizures. For this reasons, I recommend discussing with your neurologist on the possibility of making some changes to your actual therapy (frisium), increase the dose, or add new drugs.
I would also like to review your brain MRI report.
In case of pharmacoresistant epilepsy, discussing with a neurosurgeon may be needed.
But some blood lab tests (complete blood count, PCR, sedimentation rate, a urine analysis, a resting ECG, blood electrolytes, thyroid hormone levels,, etc. ) are necessary to exclude other possible causes that may trigger seizures.
Hope you will find this answer helpful!
Best wishes, Dr. Aida
