I have an odd question (I'm not British for nothing)...


How many calories do you reckon we burn when having the different varieties of seizures ?

(I told you it was odd !)

Hi TeeTees,
I bet neurologists don't hear that question too often. However, you are not the only one who wondered and someone did study the issue. Let us know what the article says.

LOL.....exactly. We could be actually finding a positive from all this negative

When I have a seizure in bed, and I'm not hearing any darn voices !!....I have had the tendency to place a finger or two gently on my throat to get a reading of my heartbeat, and I swear it's alot stronger than when I'm doing 30 minutes on the cross-trainer down the gym (and that reading is approx 150 bpm).

Shame we can't bottle up our E and sell it
