Do you still have that CD? I hardly ever go for fast food. If you still have it, what music is on it? Who wrote it? It sounds like it could be a worthwhile piece of music.I've been doing YOGA for 15 minutes every day when I awake... Get this. It's the CD I got free with a McDonald's Adult Happy Meal!!! I don't even eat there usually, but I LOVE the CD. I also calm myself and stretch for a little while every night right before bed. I'm getting to where I'm not afraid to sleep anymore, and I'm NOT afraid to wake up in the morning. I now take my Pregnenolone with some Calcium and Magnesium chewables before bed. Then stretch and get into bed. All's well.
I also spoke with Dr. Donna Andrews, "Epilepsy Specialist" the other day and within a few minutes of our conversation, she suggested I take Pamprin (a PMS syndrome pill found over the counter) for 2 days, 4 days prior to my period. I counted on the calender and started the Pamprin that day. She explained that every month water builds up inside the brain and my menstrual cycle is my body's way of saying "I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE!" and having a seizure. She added that she hadn't seized for 38 years! I'm certainly trying it out. I know there could be other triggers, but this is certainly worth looking into.
