Parent to newly diagnosed daughter

Hi all, I’m new here and feel like our worlds been turned upside down, my daughter 16 was diagnosed with focal epilepsy 8 weeks ago, it’s been a rough ride and she currently takes 500mg Keppra in the morning 750mg in the evening. She seems to suffer really badly with post seizure spasms? Like for a few days, legs going everywhere, neck tensing etc, she’s exhausted, can’t weight bear after a seizure for a good day or so, I’m having to carry her to the toilet? I’m waiting to hear from neurology still and I have no idea what’s normal and what’s not? I just wondered if anyone can share their experience if it’s similar? Xx
