[Guest guest]

Hi,

 

I joined this group because my children and I have multiple health

problems. I have hashimoto's disease, fibromyalgia, epilepsy,

candidiasis and food allergies. My dd19 has hashimoto's, eczema,

candidiasis, food allergies. Dd13 has eczema, food allergies and

celiac disease. ds24 has epilepsy, food allergies, eczema, and I

suspect thyroid problems and/or celiac disease.

 

Conventional medicine, of course, has been next to no help. I have,

however, found a doctor (he's an ENT) that located 1 & 1/2 hours from

me. But he is giving me Armour for the hashimoto's and no doctor

near me would. He is also helping with my food allergies. He says

he has a cure for allergies--bioset?? Has anyone ever heard of this?

 

My epilepsy was under control for 3 years. I stopped taking my meds

when I finally got on the right thyroid treatment. My seizures

stopped after 31 years! I started changing my diet--which was hard

and Im still working on it, but doing better every day. I mainly

stick with salads, steamed veggies, 1 fruit a day, a small portion of

meat (lean steak, chicken breast) and nuts. I also do some juicing,

but not all the time since it is soo time consuming, and I work 2

jobs. As my diet improves Im slowly losing weight. From 168 to

138. Im small framed and should be around 120. This past June, out

of the blue, I started having auras and eventually--a seizure! Since

then, Ive been racking my brain for why it happened. Im not sure

yet, but I think I may have found the answer. About May or June I

started drinkng Diet Gingerale. After the initial seizure I had many

aura's--and I was drinking soda. Then I ran across some articles on

aspartame--that they induce seizures. I immediately stopped drinking

the soda. I havent had an aura since. Its been 3 weeks. Im keeping

my fingers crossed.

 

My son was a machinist and decided to make a career change. He is

now going to school in Orlando, Florida for Music Production. He is

on Dilantin for seizures and had gone 3 years w/o a seizure. Shortly

before he left for Orlando, he had one. That was in April. He has

been under a lot of stress and doesnt handle stress well. He had

another seizure in July and then he had 2 five days apart last month.

He doesnt have insurance and is low on cash. The school he goes to

is very intense. He cant get a job because of the odd hours he is in

school. I have sent him magnesium and calcium supplements and have

told him to stay away from sugar, apartame, msg, and white flour.

This is hard for him due to financial and time constraints. He needs

to see a doctor, but doesnt have insurance. I would like to see him

go to a naturopath, but again, money is a problem!

 

If anyone is familiar with epilepsy I would appreciate any comments

or suggestions, please!

 

Sorry this is so long--and its just the tip of the iceberg!

 

Thanks for listening,
