I had to leave town to meet my brother & sister-in-laws daughter (my new baby niece). She is so great but because of the excitement I was prepared for a lot of seizures since I average about 1 a day.
I left behind my green drink, protein powder & supplements that I normally take every morn except for Co-enzyme Q10 & ginseng. I know ginseng can provoke seizures but I also knew I'd need a lot of energy.
By the 3rd day I realized that I hadn't had any seizures. I went the whole week without seizures despite all the excitement & lack of sleep until on my trip home when I had to stay in a hotel in Vancouver for the night- then I had 4 nocturnals while sleeping. I'm not too worried about those because couldn't take my meds until midnight. No big deal normally but because I changed time zones again my body felt like it was 3:00 AM when I took them.
I'm reviewing what I did different on my trip. I got up earlier & had my meds & breakfast right away, I always had cantaloupe with yogurt for breakfast instead of a cheese omelet.
I'm going to keep having cantaloupe and yogurt for breakfast but have it right away with my meds & see what happens.
It occurred to me that my grandfather had Pernicious Anemia so I'm going to get a test for that & while I'm at it I'm going to see if I can get tested for allergies.
I'll keep you all updated.
