What are you waiting for?
Time flies and another year still with night time seizures but not habitual ones so I have increased meds but no further than 200mg Lamactil in 100mg doses.
The cause of the seizures as always was stress, lack of sleep and constipation. A further thing that has been removed from my diet is Onions. They do something to my body's PH levels and it is a horrible sensation akin to an Aura that does not end.
Avoiding Onion is not as easy as it sounds because it is not high on the allergy list and people still don't worry about such things, especially in Indian Restaurants.
I have just discovered Noni Juice which is keeping my system or Drain as the French call it, pretty clear. It was discovered at a beauty spa in Mauritius last week. As Noni has so many other good properties it needs monitoring to see what happens after a month of use.
My last seizure was actually a Day Time one and thanks to being near a friend at the time I was able to carry on what I was doing prior to the incident. Walking the dog in the late afternoon, I walked by a friend’s house to see how he had got on with some drawings he was going to do of our porch. He came out of his front garden to greet me and the next thing I remember is being made to sit on his neighbour’s wall to rest. John, the man in question, asked if I was all right and he was given the explanation of the strange happening when I was aware of the situation. We talked for five minutes or more and he let me carry on walking Hector and John went to our house with the plans he had drawn up for the porch.
Hector took me elsewhere to the walk I had told John we would be doing and at the far end of the village John caught me up in his 4x4 with David in the passenger seat. He was so worried that he made David come and look for me with him. Such a caring person.
John repeated what form the absence took and apparently I spoke to him then stood and stared at him. I did not fall and he thought I was having a heart attack or stroke, the symptoms did not match either so he sat me on the wall as mentioned and did not call an ambulance.
This occurred following a stressful few weeks of building work and tidying up at home, lack of sleep and all other triggers that cause absences. I don't remember the last time I had one during the day as they have been nightly when they occurred just recently. I would have to check but it was a few years ago because on my last visit to the Neurologist in June he said that I could drive if I wanted, which implies it was over five years ago when the last day time absence occurred.
The absence was on 9th September 2016. Two days earlier we had just finished the clearing up after the new tap was fitted in the kitchen and muted the idea with John of fitting a porch at the back of the utility room. All this work came after the chimney was repaired in July, the utility room was re-plumbed to move two appliances and a sink was fitted in there in August.
Stress enough especially as I had severely sprained and bruised my back in May and had ongoing accupuncture for the pain from June. Movement was limited so bending over was impossible which made any tidying up take longer and the painting that was required for any of these tasks to be completed more arduous.
