Our son has been recently been diagnosed with Infantile Spasms. He is now 5 months old. He seems to be developing normally, with the only issue he seems to currently have being his lack of use of his left arm. He can use it, but prefers not to and holds it quite close to his chest. Obviously we are worried that at some point in time, if we do not get these spasms stopped that his development may regress or stop as is the norm with IS. He has been on ACTH, which didn't work and is currently being weaned off. He started Vigabatrin a couple of weeks ago which seems to be doing something as the number of spasms per day have reduced. My reason for posting here is that I was hoping there may be someone out there who either has a child that has/had Infantile Spasms or perhaps who knows someone in this situation, as it would be good to speak with someone who is going through a similar experience....
