Would you like to:
Can we get some info on catamenial epilepsy? Or seizures that seem to be leaning towards drug-resistant?
What is your opinion on Charlottes Web oil?
can you talk about the effects of seizures on the brain. i.e. do they damage the brain. Do seizures increase the occurrence of seizures. Do uncontrolled seizures increase the risk of SUDEP?
Have you used Charlottes Web oil? I hear a lot of good about it for some. Others (like my daughter) would probably need the whole indica plant oil. Living in a state that does not allow it is very hard.
conversations with doctors go no where anymore.
How does a patient get an appointment/consultation with Mayo neurologists/neuroendocrinologists at the same time? What is required?
Are there any particular supplements or over the counter medicines that have been shown to be more active at causing seizures?
Why does fever or illness lower the threshold of seizures?
When considering persons who do not have epilepsy, what are precautions for them to take from having a seizures in their lifetime? I have been cured for over 24 years and like to have family/friends to take precautions.
Does epilipsey/seizures cause memory loss/ recall or is it more likely to be caused by medication? I take Depakote and have been on it for about 27 years.
