I don't know how well that

I don't know how well that would go over now. The Army would not let me in. If you were to get in the exercise would defiantly help you may be even stop them. I've been pasting this part to everyone. May I suggest talking to your doctor about a med called Lamotrging. I'm also taking VIMPACT with that, and I have the most control I've ever had. We are trying to wing off the vimpact. Something else that might work for you, I went a whole year without arua or seizures taking a martial arts class. It was not so much what I learned, the over 100 jumping jack, stretching, working my body at least 5 days a week. You have heard it before," use it or lose it". Exercise make sense. As soon as I stopped everything came back with in a week. Good luck, life with out seizures can be amazing, always try new things don't let it win.

Only if your seizures are controlled by medications.
