Seizure Frequencies

I wasn't giving you the link for the NFB, but for what Dr Blaylock says about seizures during sleep, and upon waking. If you click on that link it will take you to something he wrote about seizures.

Yet, on the subjet of NFB it is actually biofeedback for the brain, which helps to stabilize brain function. Something you might read up upon.

I have a lot of those at night while I'm on my period. Bad dreams durring the seizures.the last two days have been tough. But at least Im ok.

I have been reading that if the body can't process insulin it gets sent back into the blood stream and causes estrogen dominance. That increase in estrogen can be the trigger to the catamenial seizures. I know I am not defining this in medical terminology, but I have posted some info on Rebecca's story. I am trying to wrap my head around it myself. Seems like simple carbs are the culprit.

I noticed about 10 years ago that my seizures started to have pattern that followed the seasons. The crossover periods from summer/winter aren't real defined in California, but that period where its not real hot or not really cold (spring/fall) typically cluster seizures.
I usually have them while lying in bed, when I first wake up. But also during the day too. I sometimes wonder if allergies in the ear/sinuses can cause swelling that pushes against the brain???

Hi Tiemaybe- It doesn't have to just be inflammation in the brain. It can be problems with the intestines as well that cause this. It can be your blood sugar levels. Anything that can affect your nervous system can be a cause. Good though that you are considering all possibilities.

You might consider blood sugar levels if you have seizures when you first get up.

I am getting some tests for that . An upper GI test. My face swells up now durring my period. Since all these bad seizures. I'm sorry guys. I have to be so brave in front of my son. I feel as if my whole body is falling apart. I hurt all the time. I start massage therapy tomarrow along with physical therapy. I just don't know what to think anymore. New meds, now. VNS.pray for me please. I don't know how anymore. I have always been so positive. Teresa

Fall into winter are the worst. The holidays are so damn commercialized that if you are sick like us and cannot work it's hell. I stress about affording the meals and the gifts. Then all the stess just kicks it all into high gear healthwise.

Since I've came off one med Vimpat and trying Keppra again I'm still having seizures this month.
Vimpat didn't do much for me maybe Keppra will at a smaller dose.
I'm having a heck of time getting some control back in my life.

Hi All!

I have seizures any time of year - it doesn't really matter what time of year it is. However, think all my seizures have been in PM (12noon to 12midnight) - ony 1 that I know has been in AM (12midnight to 12noon).

Does any one else have that? Can any one give any reasons why? If you can, it would be appreciated.
