Guest guest Posted June 3, 2005 Report Share Posted June 3, 2005 I was one of the lucky folk. I have epilepsy and asperger's too but had really bad problems with the epilepsy (generalized seizures - both grand mal & petty mal) in my twenties. We tried all the meds available then but none of them worked. It turned out that I am extremely allergic to wheat and that the allergy was antagonizing my seizures. Since then, I watch my diet and sleep patterns extremely closely but haven't had to be on meds since. Maybe this would help? e Re: APT 2x100 mg Lamictal a day.

Guest guest Posted June 3, 2005 Report Share Posted June 3, 2005 Hello Uhura and Everyone else,Currently for my Seizures i'm taking Celontin 300 mg capsules, but for some reason the doctor spells it kapsules , and Keppra 500 mg tablets,and Topamax 100 mg tablets. for Celontin i take 1 in the morning 1 in the afternoon and 2 at night, Keppra 2 in morning, afternoon and night, and Topamax 1 in the morning 1 in the afternoon and 2 at night. So all that along with my daily regiment of anti-depressants like Zoloft in the morning and Risperdal at night and a half a sodium pill morning and night keeps me balanced out. Along with my daily vitamins of course . So anyways that's the latest on my medicinal life My doctor has me on amoxicillin an antibiotic for a sinus infection which i feel i have not quite gotten over. I'm beginning to feel guilty for keep on ordering the antibiotics . I hope to hear from you soon,good luck in all you do. Signed, Greg > > > > > > > > > Aspie (or autistic) Personality Type.

Guest guest Posted June 3, 2005 Report Share Posted June 3, 2005 I'm allergic to shrimp and probably lobster (although I've never tried lobster, they are in the same family). I believe I'm allergic to shellfish, but I'm not certain. I have no problem with dairy or wheat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted June 4, 2005 Report Share Posted June 4, 2005 e, Hi! The main reason that so many people are allergic to wheat is because the hybrid genetically altered stuff that they are buying in the store that they believe to be natural wheat isn't natural! The engineers have changed wheat's original DNA structure so that it will grow faster, bigger and more resistent to bugs and anything else that may prevent this altered seed from producing the most UNNATURAL plant known to mankind! Too many things in the grocery store are created in the laboratory instead of in the dirt and on the farm. Just look at the ingredients label on a " Hostess Twinkie " . Everything on this label is made in a laboratory! And someone called this food?! Dwight > > I also have epilepsy and aspergers. I'll admit I don't like the > term > > epileptic.

Guest guest Posted June 4, 2005 Report Share Posted June 4, 2005 , they sell T-Shirts, hats, shorts, camisoles, shirts, throw pillows, coffee mugs, coasters to go along with the coffee mugs, boxes to hold jewelry and etc., magnifying glasses, wall clocks, teddy bears, BBQ aprons, buttons, back packs, tote bags and other useless junk (ALL with their nasty web page splattered all over the front of these items!) I couldn't stand to be on the web site for more than 5 minutes, much less to buy something that reminds me of these heathens and to see it in my home every day for 24/7!!! They ask you to send them money in the form of a donation! (These people are insensitive to shame and disgrace!) They are designed as the typical commerical web site to make lots of money!

Guest guest Posted June 4, 2005 Report Share Posted June 4, 2005 Thanks for the info Dwight - I really enjoy reading your posts because of how positive you tend to be. Unfortunately my allergy is beyond the hybrid stuff, we grow organic wheat. I do not know if there is an engineering history behind the seed, though - so perhaps? e Re: APT e, Hi!
