moving. Wait until she gets back. I find this group one of the best for information and support. Hope you
can too. I have also found lots of people that I have ended up being super good friends with and keep in
contact personally. Feel free to write me any time my email is below here.
I have epilepsy for a many moons it seems and been through all the ups and downs. Still get the odd
breakthrough and little starry-eyed now and then but those are ok.
Take care
keep smiling and hope you have a super good long weekend with your family.

Subject: [epilepsy] Re: The whole magnesium deficiency argument
I am starting to get the feeling this board is hostile. Why are others PUSHING opinions on members in this
group and belittling those who do not agree? Isn't there a moderator here or is this type of behavior
acceptable? i thought this was a safe place to talk about personal issues like seizures and depression without
having magnesium supplements shoved down your throat? Don't people with seizure disorders face enough without
having to come here and be treated like this. i am disappointed!
