Hi,
I was wondering if anyone had any thoughts on what I should eat after I have an aura which very often precedes a grand mal seizure.
I am 25 and had my JME partially controlled (3-4 months no seizures generally) in the past. However, this last year it has gotten much worse. I have moved onto a keto diet and upped my meds but I am still having the odd seizure or micro which is arm jerks and sudden loss of balance.
If I know that I am going to have a seizure within the next few hours following symptoms that I know from the years always mean it will happen - what foods or drinks may help with either postponing or reducing the severity of a seizure?
I have generally just lay down and necked a pint of water before a seizure but wonder if there is anything more that would make pre/post seizure more 'bearable' / 'manageable' ?
Thanks in advance - any thoughts are welcome
James
