What has been working for me

Wed, 10/28/2015 - 12:52

Hello everyone,

I want to start by saying I am a new member (not to the condition but to the site).  I registered because I want to tell people who are on the line about giving up on treatment to stay vigilant. Unfortunatly I didn't. I kind of gave up on my treatment for about two years. My seizures just kept getting worse and closer together. It got as bad as twice a week for a little while. It got so bad I started to feel like I was just waiting for it to kill me so the terror could end. Before I had given up I was on Kepra and the side effects are almost as bad as seizures (which I was still having). I had tried a few other medication without anything working. I had a family member offer me some oil and I thought to myself it would be a waste of time, but it was free so why not. It's called brain power. Granted this may be a little pre mature for me to be so excited since its only been two weeks, but you guys know as well as I do that without seizures life is a lot better. I want to make it clear I am not selling this stuff. If I was I would give a brand since there are so many out there. Two things I would'nt dare do before I started using this stuff were staying up late or reading as soon as I wake up. Those are a couple of my triggers. Now I do both and I don't even have tremers. I hope this stuff keeps working. I keep telling my cousin that gave it to me that it is working and she doesn't seem surprised. If any of you have a chance to check it out please do. I will try to remember to update if I have one. I hope I helped somebody. Also, sorry if there are a few mis spelled words.
