Epilepsy

[Edbear]

Interesting, thanks Tigadee and George.

I'm just a little bummed out about it.

I have had it since 2005,...and now have had 4 seizures in the last 2 weeks.
I now have no licence for 12 months (as per law) and that means no Moto Guzzi for the Summer.

My drugs I take (12 per day) appear to be having no effect now. I'm thinking is well and truly time for some new ones.
Seen the GP and got an urgent request through for the neurologist.

Sucks mate! Hope the Neurologist can come up with something. There has been something lately using electrodes, I'll see if I can find it again.

Our eldest son has Epilepsy (among other things) and I have been reading up about L-Glutamine (for something else) but it keeps making references to Epilepsy, which I want to go back and follow up but you could just go ahead and look it up yourself!

Might be nothing but then again it could be useful information!

Magnesium levels is worth checking also, our son gets regular massage of his legs using Magnesium gel and most seem to think it has helped him.

The Magnesium is also good for Cerebral palsy, that's what we mainly use it for! Good luck with that, cheers, John.

Bugger, Chris! Sorry to hear that.

One of my boys had epilepsy, it was never very well controlled and he took heaps of meds (well, heaps for a kid) for epilepsy and other conditions.

One day, he just refused to take them any more, said he had decided that he wasn't going to be epileptic any more so wouldn't need them. He was 12 at the time, coming up to 29 now...he has remained seizure free!

That would seem to me to be a classic case of mind over matter! Good on him!
