This is a blog about epilepsy. I have lived with seizures for 25 years now and I want to share my experiences to allow others with epilepsy a chance to compare their experiences to mine and to allow those without epilepsy to understand further the condition and how it effects one. I had the VNS device implanted 4 years ago and have posted on that extensively. Please feel free to comment and I will try to respond.

41 Days - No seizures!
I've now made it 41 days since the last seizure. I'm pretty psyched about it. Now, if I could make it another 41 years...
That's awesome. Have you made any dietary changes that have contributed to your success? Many who go gluten and dairy free show major improvements. My canine patients have experienced phenomenal recoveries with the elimination diet (The GARD) as have the growing number of humans who have applied it.
John, I haven't changed my diet, but I have worked hard to improve my sleep schedule to ensure I get consistant and quality rest. My EEGs show that I have generalized seizure activity when my brain begins to enter the sleep stages. So if I get tired, I am more succeptable to seizures. :(
