Guest guest Posted January 13, 2004 Report Share Posted January 13, 2004 Have you ever looked into having hormonal levels checked. It is my understanding that estrogen can cause seizures especially in girls who may have gut dysbiosis. There has been some indication that progesterone creams can help offset this as well as calcium-d-glutarate DIM which is supposedly helpful in clearing too much estrogen from the body. Another thing to look into is the possibility of parasites which may cause seizures. Just some thoughts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 13, 2004 Report Share Posted January 13, 2004 Joyce, thank you for the information. Abby hasnt had any seizures since the last one in December. We are awaiting the results of the 24 hour EEG. Hopefully by the end of this week or next week we should know something.

Guest guest Posted January 13, 2004 Report Share Posted January 13, 2004 , has your daughter had a 24 hour EEG where she is monitored at night? If not then I would most definatly push for it. Pennie Abby's Mom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 13, 2004 Report Share Posted January 13, 2004 , Abbys EEG's that were done in office always came back normal.However Abby's neuro is convinced that it wasent a good reading. If anything, a 24 hour would be good just to have peace of mind. If your neuro wont then I would perhaps switch doctors till you get what you need.

Guest guest Posted January 13, 2004 Report Share Posted January 13, 2004 That is of interesting as did have parasites but have been treated for them and have not had the seizure jerks of night sleep for a time until now again. So maybe am of the parasite again. I to also had H pylori and was treated of this and I to now be of menopausal age so maybe this too is triggering the new jerks of waking at night. It to feel as if someone to smacks me much hard into the chest (not painful feeling but is startles me away as I to feel my whole body legs and arms jerk straight upward into the air might doze off to have this repeat a few times more .
