Guest guest Posted October 22, 2001 Report Share Posted October 22, 2001 Hello, My name is Arlene. My dh, Troy, started having seizures 9 years ago. The mds did all the testing and came to the diagnosis of 'idopathic seizure disorder', which means absolutely nothing. He was put on dilantin. His grand mals are under control - however, several times a week, he has petit mals. I am no longer terrified by them - just slightly unnerved. I knew he needed my help, not fear. My first thoughts about his seizures: they are somehow related to his allergies and sleep apnea. Since I was basically disreguarded by mds, I went looking for myself. It took YEARS for the mds to agree to a sleep study. Last summer, it was finally done - he stops breathing every minute!! He is now on a CPAP machine. I can tell his seizure activity is slowing down a little ... Have any of you had experience with diet, herbs, essential oils, etc? Why would a healthy 32yr old suddenly start having seizures for no apparent reason - no head injury, drugs, etc? I am excited about this group and look forward to getting to know you.
