I've been seizure free for two years until recently. I've been trying to figure out why. I can't come up with much of an answer, my sleeping pattern is odd.
I usually change my sleep schedule. It's like, for a week I will go to bed at 9pm, next week 11pm, then 3am, then it'll go on and on like that until I hit 8pm again which usually is roughly one month. Could that be one of the triggers for seizures?
I started reading up on aspartame. I always brushed it off as a conspiracy theory, even before I had epilepsy and after I brushed it off. I've been drinking a lot more coke zero (5 a day) recently. I read this: http://www.naturalnews.com/008952_aspartame_seizures.html
A 35-year-old male anesthetist had three grand mal seizures, severe headaches and visual difficulty while drinking 4-6 diet colas daily, but none for two years after stopping aspartame. He told the U. S. Senate hearing on "NutraSweet"—Health and Safety Concerns, held on November 3, 1987:

I went two years, until just now. I want to know why. I realize there were other triggers. When I get up early in the morning, my memory would clear for couple of seconds and I would feel my hand drop to the desk without actually doing it by intention. I've been going to sleep, and waking up to my leg jumping up.
Do you become immune to drugs after certain period of time?
Do any of you think my increased consumption of diet sodas with aspartame could be partly responsible? I should be asking my doctor this I realize it, but I can't ever talk to him directly. I always talk to his nurse, and she calls me back. I have to go visit him every 6 months to ask these questions. Anyway, would by sleeping pattern or diet sodas be increasing it? Thanks.
Starting today I am going to reduce my consumption of diet sodas to water and nothing else. I will see if that helps with me losing weight, etc.
