MJH,

I'm not really sure that it's headaches, she just says that her head hurts after

she's had a grand mal seizure and most of the time I don't give her anything for

it and she doesn't talk about it anymore and is fine, but the three times that I

did give her something for it, she ended up having all these partials.

He didn't say that supplements are not necessary, just not high doses of them.

For example, I told him that I was giving 500mg of Calcium and 250mg of

Magnesium, he said that this was too high that I should be giving her less.

I just bought some flax seed and I will start on them today. I'm trying

to keep her nutritionally healthy. Oh, and we're also going to start seeing a

nutritionist to see about putting her on a healthy diet, maybe the modified

Atkins diet.

How's Charlie doing, is he still throwing up?

Grace

BUT, why does your child get headaches?

And, I do not agree with the doc that you can get all your nutrients from

food and that supplements are not necessary. I held that belief for

decades...... we NEVER had a junk food diet or ate prepared or processed foods.

I think that Charlie may have a subtle malabsorption problem and hence the

supplements make a difference.

We have also used supplements and food to repair damage to his liver caused

by Depakote, the trashed liver would then trigger more seizure activity.

Glad you now have a couple of books. I have not read the Atkins book.

Take care

I also have bad headaches after a seizure. My head more so hurts on the left

side. I have damage on my left temple lobe, so I believe that is why it is

stronger on that side. So my doctor prescribe a medication called Esgic. I only

take it after I have a bad seizure and the pain is strong.

I to hope that gets better.

Take care
