Re: [epilepsy] Re: seizures caused by myelin breakdown

 

funny, they always say the protein in my blood is high, but when I ask they can't tell me what it means, thanks for giving me something to pursue further, i had forgotten all about that.

Matt,

After I read what you wrote the first time I did a little google

searching, and it seems that many auto immune disorders come with

seizures as a symptom. So that is why all of us who ahve seizures end

up getting MRI's, because this damage in the brain is seen on an MRI.

Guess that's how they rule out some of those causes. A lot of them also

said that they produce protiens that show up in blood and/or urine, and

I know I've had mine tested at least a few times =)) That's what I read

at least in the time in between that last message and this one--and I'm

a quick reader.

It is certainly an interesting theory, and it was worth lolooking into

for sure. THanks for the idea and giving me something to research for a

little while.
