Hello, Thanks for the query, I understand your problem Before I respond to your query, Let me tell you that just like fever which can be due to many causes (fever can be due to viral fever, urine infection, chest infection) and the treatment depends upon the EXACT TYPE of fever, same is the situation for epilepsy. In order to classify the exact type of epilepsy, we need a detailed clinical history of the patient, EEG (A test which can tell us the area of the brain which is abnormal and tell us if there are changes suggestive of seizures/epilepsy). Some patients need prolonged EEG and/or genetic tests to find out the cause of epilepsy I am sorry that I do not know what exact type of epilepsy you have. The data that you have posted suggest that your abdominal problem could be related to Topaz. You may do an ultrasound of abdomen to rule out a stone in the kidney which is side effect of Topaz. The other problems that you have are also related to Topaz I urge you to get re-evaluated by an Epidemiologist (a neurologist with advanced training in epilepsy) who will help you select medications related to your epilepsy, and he will discuss if surgery can be done after evaluating your case in detailed.  Hope this clarifies Best wishes Chat Doctor. Chat Doctor .com/doctors/
