Help needed, enough is enough!

Hi all,

This isnt actually for me, its for a mate of mine whos a severe epileptic.
I've known her over a year now and delt with seizures ranging from the simple to the memory and time loss (thinking the year was 1997!) All of her seizures seem to be bought on by stress but the stress of being ill makes it worse. She was hospitalised last July from having 30 attacks in 24 hours and abut 5 strokes, none of which left her impared thankfully. The same result came from it.... more drugs, fewer checks.
She's on full disability benefits over here in the UK, not allowed to work or drive because of it, apart from that she has quite an active life.

The main problem as said by doctors is that one day, very soon she will have a stroke that will do permanent damage or even kill her - she has a 4 year old and I'm not about to let anything happen to either one of them!!!
She has had epilepsy for about 4 years, after a few family probs and the (botched) birth of her son. Her current medication from memory is 100mg a day of Phenatoyin and 20mg of Frisium... The side effects from increasing the dosage can be terrible - in bed for days on end and things.

Gonna have to end it here, getting myself wound up too. If anyone has any websites/ideas/hints/solutions then please mail me or reply on here.

Thank you all...
