Re: ALCOHOL RELATED SEIZURES

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone,

I have a question perhaps someone out the knows the answer to. Two-three

times a weeek I have one glass of red wine with my dinner. MY epiliptologist

said this is fine.

I had one glass of white wine saturday night with dinner, I had a seizure

yesterday. That seems to be a pattern in the past as well. The one glass of

RED wine seeems to be okay, I've had no problems with it.

Is it just a coincidence that the white seeems to be a trigger, is it a

chemical thing?

Thanl you,

Hiya,

My name is Grainne, Im from Ireland. Every weekend I would go out and drink

quite alot of drink about £40:00 worth, to make sure I wouldn't have a seizure I

would Take an extra tablet before I went out and when I came back home. I know

its a leathel cocktail of booze and drugs but I hope my suggestion

helps?However, I dont drink anymore im too frightened to have fits and really

want to finish my degree. Maybe you should ask yourself if your not wanting to

get drunk what is the point in drinking and having fits, is it worth jepordising

all you hard work taking your medication during the week?????????

I know I sound really old and boring but after having epilepsy for 13 years and

it being a real pain in the arse, causing me so much injury and pain to others,

I just dont see the point. Im no angel tho' I will keep a drunkin night for

xmas!!!!!!!

Good luck whatever you do!!!

Grainne

I can't be sure on this, but I think red wine may have more

salicylates than white wine. I have an older daughter who is

extremely sensitive to salicylates, though she does not have

seizures. Just worth checking into.

Forgot to mention that salicylates affect blood sugar. I think by

lowering blood sugar. Alcohol does this also. I bet since you do

white wine okay, that it may be the salicylates causing a

hypoglycemic type thing. Just a guess though, but I find it very

interesting and helpful you've noticed this. I'm not saying you

have hypoglycemia or even a salicylate sensitivity, but thought this

information seemed very similar.

What causes hypoglycemia?

Hypoglycemia is most commonly a complication of diabetes treatment

(diabetic hypoglycemia). You can develop hypoglycemia by taking too

much insulin or other diabetes medications.

Hypoglycemia also may result from less common causes, including

medications, such as monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs), quinine

sulfate, and SALICYLATES (including aspirin); diseases that affect

the pancreas, liver, kidneys, or other organs; and inherited

problems with metabolism.

What are the symptoms of hypoglycemia?

The symptoms of low blood sugar may vary from episode to episode

because it can be mild, moderate, or severe.

Mild hypoglycemia can cause nausea, a jittery or nervous feeling,

cold and clammy skin, and a rapid heartbeat.

Moderate hypoglycemia often makes you feel irritable, anxious, or

confused. You may have blurred vision, feel unsteady, and have

difficulty walking.

Severe hypoglycemia can lead to loss of consciousness, SEIZURES, and

coma and may be fatal.

LOL Did I get my wires crossed or what? No way to bow out of this

one gracefully!
