Hi. I am an epileptic. Sometimes I cannot remember things that were going on during my seizures. Then, my memory usually returns. Sometimes I vomit during seizures. I mostly feel very confused after a seizure. Nothing hurts, nothing really exists and then you pass out. Last time I had a seizure I bit my tongue. After a seizure I usually feel very tired. Then I go to sleep, and when I wake up, everything is all normal. It is important for your friends and family to know about your condition. In that case they will be able to help you during seizures.

Hi,gonnella
Epilepsy is a brain disorder in which abnormal bursts of electrical activity occur in cells of the brain, resulting in seizures.
There are many types of epilepsy, usually categorized by the symptoms that occur during seizures. The cause of many types of epilepsy is unknown, and frequently no cure is available. Rather, treatment focuses on reducing the frequency and severity of seizures.
There are many types of seizures in epilepsy. They are categorized as either partial or generalized, depending on how much of the brain is involved. Some types of epilepsy involve seizures characterized by convulsive muscle contractions of all or some parts of the body. Other types can involve momentary loss of consciousness, amnesia, unusual sensations or emotions, and other symptoms. Symptoms that indicate an imminent seizure (called auras) may occur. Similarly, non-convulsive symptoms, including deep sleep, headache, confusion, and muscle soreness (called a postictal state), may follow a generalized seizure.
This formula is targeted at supporting the central nervous system and protection against oxidative damage
L-Carnitine is involved in protein production and essential fatty acid transportation. L-Tyrosine,Taurine, Calcium, Chromium, Vitamin B6 and Folate are important nutrients for maintaining normal brain function. Magnesium has a calming effect on the nervous system and helps relax muscle spasms. Selenium, Vitamin A and Quercetin are strong antioxidants that help protect the brain from oxidative damage. Vitamin B Complex 50 includes various B vitamins that are vital in functioning of the central nerve system. Niacin, CoQ10 and Vitamin E are beneficial for circulation of the brain. Vitamin B12 and Zinc may promote nervous system health. Pantothenic Acid and Vitamin C have shown anti-stress effects. Bioflavonoid Mix can potentiate the functions of Vitamin C. L-Carnitine and Vitamin E can be depleted by long term use of anticonvulsant drugs.
If you are concerned or unsure about your symptoms, please contact your healthcare provider for professional medical advice. |
