I find that really interesting.

My grandfather was an albino, he had pink/red eyes. As the only albino I'd met, I had assumed everyones were the same (TIL). He was legally blind but never let that stop him.

That is also true, I noticed that with my grandfather as well. It was always easy to tell when he was angry with us as his eyes would get much darker. They were very "expressive" really. :)

Anyway, glad to see you doing an AMA!

Not op, but I've had seizures since I was about 14 (over 40 now).

They were never controlled great because I was on the wrong type of seizure medication. I went to SO MANY neurologists over the years, but when I found one who specilized in seizures and it was life changing.

I've been through a lot of drugs. At one point even went on Topomax which the side effects sucked (like 8 weeks of hell) but at that point I was willing to try anything. It worked great until my hair started falling out (which is a super rare and uncommon side effect so my bald neuro at the time didn't believe me).

Anyway, my point is there are a lot more medicore neurologist than really good ones. You REALLY have to stand up for yourself in this. If the meds seem like they are helping even a little, maybe have her start looking for another Dr for a second opinion. You can't go back from surgery.

Yeahhh, switchings, belts...I don't miss those days. (Sorry to hear about your grandparents...all of mine are gone as are my parents). But getting side tracked ;)

Maybe! That would be kinda interesting to find out on the eye color. Perhaps you could ask some of your good friends if they've noticed? I always thought it had something to due with blood pressure, since I could always see his skin get a little more flushed... but that was about it...that and his eyes. He had some crazy control.
