UK Infantile Spasms Trust

UK Infantile Spasms Trust

Welcome to the UK Infantile Spasms Trust. The UK Infantile Spasms Trust has been newly established in 2017 by a group of families with children affected by infantile spasms.

This site was set up by a group of UK parents who found each other through one of the international IS support groups. Prior to 2016 there was no Infantile Spasms support network in the UK. We started as a Facebook group, and found like-minded parents who were passionate about raising awareness of IS and supporting other families. UKIST became a registered charity in March 2017. We hope you find the information on the site helpful.

    Hi. I'm looking at getting some help for my son. I believe there is something wrong with him and watching these videos and doing research I think he has baby spasms, we have been in hospital with him for the last week and none of the doctors or nurses are listening to me and are saying I'm just a first time mother worrying as they clearly don't have the experience with this. His eyes some times roll in the back of his head, he throws his legs and arms up in his sleep and when he is awake and crys after, his breathing sometimes goes funny and there is more things going on. Can someone recommend a doctor in the UK we can take him to please? He is only 9 weeks old. Thank you

    Try to prevent a lack of sleep and fever symptoms in your child as much as you can because they are provoking the spasms. We never went out late at night and made sure our son was always in bed at time for his naps. Suppress fever immediately with aspirine, or paracetamol that is suited for infants and small children, but be sure to stick to the instructions on the package. My son had infantile spasms, but outgrew it at six years old with the help of medication and the above tips. He is now a gymnasium student, 17 years old. Good luck, and all the best for your child 🌻🌻

    @@nadiashirazi3925 no my son does not have any left over effects of the epilepsy. But, you can never be sure how things would have been if he would not have suffered from the spasms. Epilepsy is often hereditary or can be caused by brain trauma. (For example an accident or lack of oxygen during labor.)In our case, it runs in the family. At that time I also considered putting my son on a keto diet. You can look into that option for your child, it can give good results. All the best, happy to answer your questions let me know, jo
