I have noticed that my nocturnal seizure activity increases in the fall and early spring. I will generally go all summer long without an event unless I get overly stressed out about something.
I understand sunshine affects seratonin levels and wonder if the lack of full spectrum sun causes enough of a drop to lower my seizure threshold. I am really wondering if a SAD light would be useful? They now make them with non-flicker ballasts too.
I have had a very challenging week with seizures and sleep disturbances every night. Tuesday and Wednesday the sun was shining and I took time to spend 30 minutes out in the cold, but sunny garden. No seizures, no sinking feeling at bedtime.
Today was another dreary lake effect snow day and that will be the case for another 5 days.
I upped my magnesium so I am getting 500mg too.
I found this link an interesting read, http://dogtorj.tripod.com/id60.html
He seems to be a vet though, so what are your thoughts?
