- Seizure Background
- It all started 6/23/06 I had two tonic clonic seizures and was put on tegretol. That caused vision loss and we talked the doctor into stopping it. He then put me on Gabapentin and I had suicidal thoughts. Mom said no more. We made some nutritional changes, and I was good for a while but then challenged them some and BAM I had a few more, so I was put on Lamictal. This caused my whole body to ache and then we started seeing splotches on my skin so the doctor said to discontinue it. They then tried Trileptal which is related to Tegretol and I began a fever, rash and sore throat. I was still having 5-6 seizures a month.
We all needed a break from the drugs, so the next choice was neurofeedback. I started that 3/08, and my seizures reduced drastically. May I had one, June I had one, and July I had none.
I take a pile of vitamins and minerals and complain often, but my fingernails are awesome now. It really isn't that bad. I just need something to complain about.
I am so glad that I don't take any medicine, but I also have not been willing to celebrate that I am free and clear of any more seizures. Let's say I am guarded at the moment. I am tired of "E"
Kids at school have been a pain, but I am making friends outside of school.
I am able to continue my figure skating, which is where I am free of it all. - Treatments
