What would you do?????
Fri, 09/22/2017 - 16:55Hi,I have TLE, and I've been seizure-free for over a year (up until last night, I had a nocturnal complex partial). We are all seriously sleep-deprived, since I had my second baby girl 6 months ago. This last month has been very difficult for all of us, we're all exhausted and stressed. That said, what do I do? If I tell my neuro about the seizure, he's gonna want to increase my med dosage. I'm already tired, and I'm nursing, I don't want to take even more meds! Plus, maybe it's just the sleep deprivation and stress. Hopefully, things will improve soon and I won't have any more breakthrough seizures.So, what do you think? Would you just wait and see if things worsen, or would you tell the neuro now??

Hi. The symptoms they describe for this condition are exactly what I have been experiencing for nine years. They are becoming increasingly more intense and frequent , but still in line with my cycle. I had 2 particular incidences where my husband had an ambulance come take me to the hospital. Mri, cat scan, blood work, eeg, were all done and nothing came back with a flag. I was sent home and continued experiencing symptoms. I prayed for wisdom and understanding because I felt as though each attack felt like the hand of death on me. I began taking a fantastic vitamin supplement and other supplements to help balance the hormones. This helped to greatly diminish the symptoms. I have recently added the best CPTG essential oils topically, internally, and aromatically to my daily routine. I can tell when my body is getting off balance, and that is when I incorporate more of the essential oils to help support the brain, nerves, and circulatory system, as well as thyroid. I am so greatful for what I have found! It truly is a Godsend. All these years I've never known such a condition existed. I cannot imagine having those seizures for decades! I hope and pray you can find something so gentle, pure, powerful, safe and effective as I did! And no medications and their side affects or modifications, as these continuously work with your body!
