Due to a traumativ brain injury when I was 16, I have been living with seizure for the last tens years. I've tried every medication my doctors can find and I've got a Vagus Nerve Stimulator. All my doctor wants to do is keep upping my medication and turning the VNS up and nothing is able to control them. Just today someone mentioned to me treating epilepsy with acupuncture and I found the comments you all have posted.

Acupuncture may help reduce the number of attacks, possibly through release of cholecystokinin (CCK-8), a neuropeptide which possesses anti-epileptic activity (Oei et al 1992, Bajorek et al 1986, Kadar et al 1984, Zetler 1980).

This is a rare and catastrophic form of intractable epilepsy that begins in infancy. Individuals with SMEI suffer from intellectual disabilities as well as severe behavioral and development delays. All effort made to be sure he did not live his life miserably with deadly disease proof abortive. I have carried him to different Doctors, use different prescription drug all to no avail.
