Did you ever post the name of the books that I should be reading for homeopathy?
Riva,

I'm Interested in any books you would recommend on homeopathy for E

Hi Angel~I live in Aurora, OR and was wondering what Dr you go see? My husband used to have a seizure every 10 years but they are getting closer together now~4 years. Thinking of starting the diet and music~any other ideas for me? Thanks, Colleen

Angel you're funny. No sharks it's not warm enough. I have to worn you the sea is cold here, but once you're in you'll be fine. 68* to 75* is about as warm as it gets and 75* is pushing it. Why didn't you surf in Calf? The waves are a lot bigger there, I surfed in CA. loved it, but that was when I was in high school. You have to work really hard for a good wave here. I mostly body surf, and let me tell you it has to be hot,hot, hot before I get in that water. The lake is nice and warm and we can swim there, and we can go fishing, we got some good sized salmon this year.
I got lots of room, you can have the whole basement to yourselves. ( it's finished) Next summer I'll be waiting, I always think it's kind of funny when I tell me people about my "friends" that I have never met. I think we all need to start meeting don't you.

Hi Colleen,

I see a Neurologist first i was seeing him for cervical dystonia he was the only doctor who id run into who could help with movements in my neck & back... then I started seeing him for my seizures i went from age 12 or 13...till 37years old... last year 24 or 25 years I've gone with out treatment for my seizures... until 9 months ago my e started getting worse..
simple partial seizures and sometimes complex partial seizures almost daily....I'm kinda new myself to all of this.... I don't feel I could really be much help as I'm still trying to figure out things myself..... you might try going to a naturopathic doctor in your area first; if hes having really bad seizures he should go see a epileptologist Or neurologist ... I wish I could help you more.....


Love angel

Angel~John had his first grand mal seizure 30 years ago~then another one 10 years, this last one was only 4 years apart~so he doesn't have them often but would love to find a Dr who could help~it seems it happens when he has a bad cold so we are thinking it is his immune system. Good luck to you! Someone told us that they saw a lady on a Portland bus that was carrying a rabbit~she said it can tell her when she is about to have a seizure~amazing! Love, Colleen

our electricity went out last night! was really windy here .. I was little when we would go to the coast in Cali... my parents never bought us a surf board no money"body surfing is free" lol I was so small & wasn't strong enough to stay on a board at the time my kidneys were really bad anyways so i kinda had to take it easy..... I did talk to my husband about coming to portland in the summer to visit you he said we will see sounds like we would have fun..
I really have wanted to go to the coast I kept telling my husband all summer about the coast near portland he keep's telling me portland has no coast lol

Love angel
