@dannoyes Hi Dan thank you for sharing your story. What is FND seizures? I just took a look at what they are! My seizures were caused by a traumatic brain injury after numerous blows to the head, not from Epilepsy. I ended up with damage to the left temporal lobe 20 years ago. The drugs made the seizures worse, I do not like the drugs & wish I knew more about seizures, TBI & epilepsy before I was started on these drugs. I have been trying the keto & Carnivore diets the last few years to see if they could stop them. Some people I have read about have stopped the seizures through the Carnivore diet. I have been trying to contact various people that it has helped but I am not getting any response as yet. There are so many people stopping meds for all sorts of illnesses with keto/carnivore diets. I will share this later on this site to see if anyone else has heard about it. I have started to research some of the newer drugs since I was taking them before 2012. The drugs took 2 seizures a year to around 24 up to 30 even 40 a year some years if I had a lot of stress. They have averaged out to about 22 - 24 a year the last 8 - 9 yrs.

@laura1961 - when you get a chance, do start a new discussion about keto and carnivore diets and seizures, as I'm sure other members would be interested.

If you go to the home page for the Epilepsy & Seizures support group https://connect.mayoclinic.org/group/epilepsy-2bb359/, then go below the blue box and the field called "Search discussions," you will see "+Start a new discussion," which is where you'd want to go to start this chat.
