It is great to have you come and be with us. You will fine a great number of dear friends to listen when you are in need of ears. Please, just let us know how we can help you out. You will find out we are supportive and relaxing place.

I see that Rae has given you the forum for the epilepsy topic. I myself have epilepsy and you will find a great number of fellow friends there to help you out.

You should see an Epileptologist (Dr. specializing in epilepys) at an Epilepsy Center which are usually at University or big hospitals. In 2009 I saw one, ending up with brain surgery, since then I have not had another one. 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, I have seen a neurologist a few times, had an MRI and an EEG and a sleep deprived EEG. The flashing lights do not effect me at all. I have kept track of every seizure i have had as well as an other things that may be helpful. I do eat quite healthy but will cut back more on carbs etc.
I will try the B12, I have never heard of that. I did ask my neurologist about diet and vitamins and he said not to bother but it is worth a try.
