[epilepsy] I feel finally I have found cyber brothers and sisters--also question re diets

 

Thanks, unseen friends, for all the genuine concern you are showing for me. I am on 250 mg DIvalproex at 9 am, 250 mg at 3 pm on alternate days and 500 mg again at 9 pm. Sz --esp SPS still occur about twice weekly but since I live the life of a retiree on Soc Security Disability (I am 60) and also have arthritis I am home a great deal so just "sit out" the sz. I have just finished P> Murphy's TREATING EPILEPSY NATURALLY and have eliminated the excitotoxins nicotine and caffeine totally as of 2 wees ago--also Coca Colas, and any product containing the artificial sweetener aspartame. This has reduced the frequency of sz from 4-5 a week to 2 a week.
Is any one here on a hypoglycemic diet? I read that may help too but someone from a "live" Ep support group which meets every month says "beware of food fads"--or is such diet valid after all? Please give me feedback on this issue Corinna
