DD has been having absence seizures for the last year approx. She is 10, in year 6 and this seems to have coincided with a general withdrawal from the group of friends she has had all through primary although I don't know if this is related or not.
The seizures seem pretty mild and weren't really bothering her until she had one in the middle of her class assembly and was being prompted by the teacher for a good 20 secs before she tuned in again. The teacher hasn't mentioned anything about these seizures and seemed to think she was just daydreaming so had a bit of a moan at DD after the assembly which upset her. I am just a bit unsure whether to involve the GP in case they start talking about medication as the idea scares me and I know that DP will be dead against any drug therapy. Any advice/experience appreciated!
