Wed, 09/30/2015 - 09:48For years I was being put on seizures medication. They had never checked my blood. We where telling them that every time I started going into theses I was grabbing water and trying to get something to eat. I would feel something running to get water etc. It finally came out when I had a car accident that my blood was so low that I had low blood sugar and I had been crashing. They finally took a glumtos t. test which they found out I was crashing. The dieaties found out that I had been loading my self up with carbs. Now I have another problem. I have been on seizures drugs for so many years that it going to take a long time to take my off. They are going to have to do it very slowly but having that on your record does not help in getting certain insurance because you are labeled.
