Guest guest Posted December 1, 2004 Report Share Posted December 1, 2004 Lori, I don't know the answer to the cortisol question however I wanted to tell you that I do know of people who have brain lesions who were able to get seizure control without meds - through working with Donna s at s-Reiter or through Neuro Feedback done with an extremely skilled specialist. I would contact Donna s Ph.D. at the s Reiter site. She and Neurologist Reiter will take a look at your sons EEG and determine if Dr. s technique will be able to help your son. She is very accesible through e-mail. Good Luck, M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 7, 2004 Report Share Posted December 7, 2004 Lori, Research suggests that it is the cortical stimulating hormone that can stimulate seizure activity and that cortisol may be neuroprotective. Stress can cause the body to release the hormone thereby lowering the seizure threshold. Hope this clarifies things a bit. Mark [ ] cortisol and seizures Does anyone know anything about the effect cortisol has on seizure activity? I know cortisol is a stress hormone. I don't know the mechanism by which it works on the body. Is it a good thing or a bad thing? I know when my son is stressed he gets more seizures and when he is very, very tired he gets more seizures and he has seizures usually when he is falling asleep. Could this have anything to do with cortisol levels? Just to recap, my son does have a brain lesion. Has anyone outgrown seizures even though they have a lesion? Thanks.
