[epilepsy] Re: Seizures and depression

 

Hi Shan,

You speak allot of magnesium. How do you believe its best to determine if a person is low on magnesium for a person with epilepsy? In all your understanding, should a person do this on there own? Or work with Drs. for this. How is it determined how low you are, and how much to increase it? How often and how much is taken eah day? Is it different for everybody or the same for everybody? Also, what are the risks of taking to much Magnesium? Could you please answer the questions I ask since you seem to be so knowledgeable on the subject. Take care, keep a smile on your face!

Get your magnesium levels up and you won't get depressed, won't have a lot of anziety and will sleep better. You will be less irritated as well as less aggressive. Magnesium is also used to cure headaches - migraines are a symptom of magnesium deficiency and can be alleviated with magnesium.

My wife says she can always tell when I am going to have a bad aura during the day because of how I am feeling. I also get extremely irritable, have really bad headaches, and generally feel overstimulated all of the time.
