Hello guys

I had my epilepsy under control. no seizure for 11 years until a month ago. 

I had not been drinking enough water, was stressed and been working out alot. Basically i was de hydrated and that caused my liver to not process the drugs properly and therefore not in my system doing their work.

Wont make that mistake again and will keep hydrated.

I know several Doctors that say adults should calculate their daily water intake by taking 1/2 of your body weight and drink that many ounces of water.  So if an adult weighs 100 pounds, their daily water intake should be at least 50 ounces.
