Hello, everyone. This forum is great.
A little about me- I have had grand mal seizures since I was 12. I started out taking Phenobarb & Dilantin. Now, at age 50, I am taking the generic for dilantin-Phenytoin. I work out of my home, am married, and have two adult kids.
For most of my adult life, I haven't talked about my epilepsy. So I feel like I'm coming out of the dark about a lot of issues. Aspartame being a trigger! Wow-I never knew...
I usually just have one seizure a year, but since May of this year I've had 3.
This is what brings me to your awesome site. I suspected that the Large Iced Coffees I was drinking was triggering the seizures, and it looks like others are bothered by all the caffeine also. Sounds, like a no brainer-just don't drink them, but they are very good, to say the least.
Hope this has helped someone, I want to get back to reading other's posts now. Thanks for this site. see ya, Jackie
