My 3 year old son was diagnosed with suffering from RAS when he was approximately 18 months old. He had had a number of attacks prior to this which I had put down to breath holding. He basically collapses( goes very pale,eyes roll back, difficulty breathing and sort of loses consciousness-a bit like a fit but not quite if that makes sense) occasionally when exposed to stimuli of pain. Children do often grow out of it and I thought my son had, having not had a seizure for nearly a year. However he has had two in the past 3 months approx. Are there any mums out there who have children who suffer from RAS and if so what are your experiences of gaps between seizures and of telling primary schools. My son is at nursery and the staff are fine about it but I am a little unsure about how to deal with "big school".
