Re: Correlation between hormones/migraines/MELAS/Mito

[Guest guest]

Our family has MELAS, not sure if my mother or sister had migraines. My

mother had the hearing loss and seizures. My sister seizures but only 3

times that we know of--they put her in 4 day and a two week coma and the

last year she also had muscle weakness. Myself I am was about 130 lbs, now

150 and 5 ft 3 " and my 11 year old son is 4 ft 6 inches but 120 lbs already.

My sister and mother were 5 ft 105 lbs. My son has absense seizures and

about 3 years ago had bad migraines every day for about 3 months and no

reason could be found for them. His main problem is dismotbility and

constipation which is helped by the Qgel. Myself I have evidence of

seizures, hearing loss, diabetes that the blood sugar goes up when exercise,

and fatique.

So, there may be a correlation but as with each person, this seems to be

different for each also.
