Guest guest Posted April 3, 2008 Report Share Posted April 3, 2008 For those who don't know, Moyamoya disease is a progressive disease of the distal internal carotid arteries. Here's a link that talks about it http://www.moyamoya.com/journals/moyamoya.html Is anyone familiar with it? Anyone heard of what someone can take who had this? She says she's had 2 surgeries, and so far it has controlled it. She says she also has petit mal seizures. But, she's taking a ton of meds - and is going to run out before she is able to get more insurance. I don't know what her money situation is, but I suspect not too good. I'm very concerned that if she just stops taking all her meds, especially with a hx of seizures, she'll have more. Maybe not so petite this time. She also said she wonders if a poor diet has contributed not only to this, but to some other physical issues. She's just started a cleanse, so sodas and all that isn't in question - of course I'll tell her not to drink any, or eat any diet foods when it's completed. But, it sounds like she needs more than that....... Oh, yeah, she had a gastric bypass three years ago - used to weigh 395 lbs. Said she lost 220 lbs, but has gained 66 back. Anything you guys have to offer would be greatly appreciated. Lynn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
