At the request of my husband and my doctors, I am trying to be normal… seizure free. However, it is not easy. I am currently seeing 3 Doctors. One is a Neurologist (Dr. Gilbert Manso), One is a Psychologist (Dr. Nancy White), & one is a Chinese Therapist (Dr. Susan Yang). Now, of the three doctors, I’m undergoing three different therapies. I was seeing a Chiropractor (Dr. Jack) and now have stopped seeing him for the time being. Dr. Manso has recommended Dilantin for me to start taking. Dr. White has recommended I start on Neurotherapy, which is where they hook up electrodes to your head once a week for about 10 minutes. Dr. Jack recommended I start on natural medicines, which I did and then stopped. Dr. Yang, I also go and see once a week and she told me to stop taking medications altogether, and to stop driving (telling me she could CURE the problem)… which I did about a year ago and might I add, IT SUCKS not being able to drive and to have my husband chauffer me about. He’s been cranky ever since…. and trying desperately to help me get rid of this problem.
If you have any responses, let me know.
Love, Stace

My response is that I love you sweetheart. I think the neurotherapy has a good chance to get you seizure free and off drugs – again. Until then, meds are necessary to minimize the risk of serious injury.
