RE: [epilepsy] Re: Triggers

 

Tim, here is a real interesting 9 minute water comparison video:

We all are drinking it regularly after it was first

brought to us to see if it may help our little girl.

Michelle,
Does this mean that drinking something other than water triggers less
seizures.

Just found this pdf file and on page 16 it mentions showers/baths being a
trigger. Still haven't found the Brazilian study.

Some time ago I read a study out of Brazil about water and seizures. When I
asked the doc at Barrow about it, he pretty much just "patted" me on the
head and said he hadn't heard of that. My son now sees a doc at Mayo.
