Hi @carissadennery
Welcome to this group :-)!
Happy to know you have control over your tonic-clonic seizures and that they have been so helpful at your work.
I have temporal-lobe epilepsy and a gluten-free diet has helped me much to reduce my seizures. Since one year, I am gluten-free in my diet and my seizures have been reduced from 12/13 seizures a month to 2/3 seizures a month. I do not have celiac disease though, but I have read many studies that gluten does provoke inflammation in the gut and this can be a trigger to seizures. Taking gluten out of my diet, has been much easier than I thought, nowadays there are so many products that are gluten-free. How has it been for you? Do you have celiac disease? I have not tried Keto diet, as this one is really hard to follow.
I also do treat myself with CBD (without any THC), as the traditional meds have worsened my epilepsy or brought more harm than benefits. Hatha yoga has also been very beneficial to me. I am happy to say that this year with those changes in my treatment I am back to life and smiling again.

I have reacted horribly to every presc med and so it is just Kava and CBD oil. I am grateful that you have gotten relief from your seizures, meaning that they have lessened.
