'I took them and he's the one suffering' says mother prescribed anti-epilepsy pill when pregnant
Josh, 11, struggles every day with foetal valproate syndrome, a condition linked to the effects of epilepsy medication prescribed for his mother Alison while she was pregnant.
Josh, aged 11, cannot feel pain, and he once did not notice he had fractured his leg. He wears ear-defenders all day. He is afraid of the rain, which is a problem living in Tipperary.
He loves pizza, Santa Claus and his family but struggles every day with foetal valproate syndrome (FVS). This is a condition linked to the effects of epilepsy medication prescribed for his mother Alison while she was pregnant.
