Sorry to hear what you are going through at this time. Then you to go on with these signs check with an Epileptologist (Dr. specializing in epilepsy) at an Epilepsy Center which are usually at University or big hospitals. I was lucky to go to one, there it didn't cost as much, because of the credit of the medicine because it was a school of medicine.

Your need to cut out the carbs and starch foods because they will trigger seizures. Start keeping track of your seizures by writing them down on a calendar, by doing this the Dr. may see a pattern in your seizures. Get yourself on vitamin B12 500 mcg. once a day. Also avoid very bright light, like at a theater, the flashing can bring on a seizure. Just close you eyes and turn your head at that time.

Please keep us up to date on your condition. Again welcome, looking forward to seeing you around. My thoughts and prayers are with you.


Thank you for your suggestions. I recently had someone else suggest I go to a school of medicine as well, so perhaps I should give that a shot. I'm just so sick of throwing away money on doctor after doctor and traveling all over the place just to be told that there isn't anything wrong with me. It's very wearing.

I did try cutting out carbs twice, and both times I did feel a lot better. However, about two weeks in, I also almost passed out both times and had to discontinue the diet. That was when I was a vegetarian, though, so my low-carb options were very limited. Perhaps the diet would work out better for me this time around.
