Hi Sara,
My Epileptologist told me that a study was done and they found that people who have epilepsy are good writers and also very good in the music field. I love both music and writing.
I did want to tell you that you might want to start taking vitamin B12 once a day 1000 mcg. and it may help reduce or stop your sz. Vitamin B12 helps calm the nerves and in turn reduces sz. it has done wonders for me.
Another thing you might want to tell your Epileptologist is how yawning helps cool the brain. I was in a medical study with a neurobiologist who works with people who have MS and epilepsy. He asked me to keep track of each time I yawned every day and write down what time I yawned, and I was to take my temperature every day at the same time and each time after I had a sz. He found that the days that I had sz. my body temperature would be higher even before I had any sz. and I was yawning less on those days. In the 2nd part of the study he told me to put a cold washcloth on my face and neck each time when I got a warning I was going to have a sz. and sure enough this stopped the sz. What happened is the cold water from the washcloth cooled the neurons down in my brain and stopped the sz. I was amazed and I've been doing this for over a yr. now and I've had 96 fewer sz. this yr. compared to last yr. at this time. Give it a try it you want and see how it works. I wish you the best and May God Bless You!
