Hi all,
I read about people who have decided to end medication for alternative treatments or even without just because they have decided that they don't like the way drugs make them feel and would rather take the seizures.
In my case, I've had 7 seizures over 21 years and the recent changes in my drugs, plus the other effects on my health caused by some of my past drugs (bone loss, etc) have made me start to question whether I would be better off going it alone.
I'm sure my neurologist would never agree to this, but I look at it as my choice not his. He tries to scare me by telling me a seizure could kill me, but what good is a life feeling doped up all the time or unable to participate in the things that make life worth living?
I'd understand more if I was having 10 seizures a day every day, but that has never been my case. Has anyone gone this route or know of anyone who has gone this route? If so, what has been your/their experience and was it worth it?
Thanks:rock:
