Second opinion needed: childhood-onset epilepsy, Shubra
A rheumatologist willing to review Karim's reports could help the family decide on treatment for childhood-onset epilepsy.
🇪🇬 Egypt1,001 views
Karim was diagnosed with childhood-onset epilepsy in May. The local team has recommended a long course of medication. We understand it's an important decision, and we'd like to be sure.
We're asking if a rheumatologist - anywhere in the world - would be willing to review Karim's reports and give a short opinion (a call of 20 minutes or a written summary). We'd gladly pay for any cost to your practice that we can afford.
We have scans, lab reports and the doctor's notes ready to share securely. We understand that you can't give formal medical advice without an examination, and we're simply looking for guidance on questions to ask and options to explore.
Thanks for even thinking about it.

Sending good thoughts. Hope you get there. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
Best of luck, Bilal. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Put this on a community board in Cairo this morning
So sorry you're going through this, Bilal. It takes guts to ask. Well done. It's not much but it's yours. All the best
Take care, Bilal. Wishing Karim a smooth procedure and a full recovery. I have a 17 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Blessings
thanks for sharing this. Get well soon. It's not much but it's yours. Take care.
sending good thoughts. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
