Arrow I give UP! I've lost the linky dinky


I'm trying very hard to make sense here.
I AM in Florida, and YES, we DO have a
Tropical Idiot out there ...

But I've lost the link(s) where barometric
drops and sudden fluctuations can trigger
or provoke seizures. Because I've been
experiencing auras. I usually get them
during these Hurricanes / Tropical Morons,
but sometimes it would trigger a seizure-
mode if it drops to sharply (not a slow
decline). HELP! I forget what it was called
or where it was found. I need to re-read
up on it.

I'm trying to keep myself in ONE PIECE and
OUT of the "E" mode, and I am not a happy
camper about this ...

Thanks, but that was an interesting one,
but wasn't the one I was looking for,
this was the one in reference to Tropical
Atmospheric drops:

1024 mb* down to 941 mb* in such a
short time span for example (Hurricane
Charley)

That itself is self-explanatory.

Big difference from that article above.
I just get a lot of auras ~ but if a Hurricane
develops suddenly like Hurricane Charley;
which originally was supposed to target and
strike us instead aimed and hit south of us
it triggered me into complex partial's. The ONLY Hurricane
in years since Elena in 1985 which caused me
to sustain mild complex partial's with it's wild, strange,
weird path it took (it was supposed to strike
us 2-3 times back then) before it hit I think
Mississippi or Louisiana.

All other Tropical Depressions, Storms,
Hurricanes didn't effect me too much as
it was progressive when it approached.

That's the article / journal I was looking
for. My apologies if I wasn't specific.

Riva:

Cannot take Ativan with Klonopin.

And no it's not effecting me that bad,
it's the auras, the rising and dropping
of the pressure all day long that's been
a problematic issue (part of living in the
tropics). It might have something to
do with my ears being partially clogged,
to which I think they are; as I have a
slight cold but I can't tell because I'm
deaf
, but I can feel it (the pressure),
and when it happens, it triggers the
auras... no seizures ~ but in a way;
I am sensing it (TD 10) may be heading
our way. My son seems to think so or
at least "ride the coastlines".

The only suggestion I can offer is to stay away from all dairy foods/drinks while you suspect problems with your sinuses.

I found that link with a bit of searching. I don't know anything about the specific study you are looking for.

I cannot help you brain, but I have noticed that when the weather is stormy, ( I hope this word is right ) I feel worst, this week here it has been like this, and my partial seizures have increased.
