Wink Nice to meet you!!

jls421,

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 too have epilepsy. I have had it since I was 10, making about 50 years. 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., he 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.

VEEG is It is a more specialized form of an EEG test. It permits the study of your brainwave activity at the same time that a seizure or a spell is occurring.
It helps doctors determine the nature of a seizure or spell as well as how to most effectively treat the condition.

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