Re: [epilepsy] Reevaluation from Motor Vehicle
I understand that BUT having to re-take the test because of seizures and headaches???? People with DWI dont' have to take the test again but I do. I have meds to control my seizures-alcohols dont give up alcohol and take meds to stop drinking but they dont' have to re-take the test

Susan,
I am surprised that a lawyer would take this on if that is the
law in your state. How long did you have szs? You aren't
being treated like a criminal. It happens to be the law..
Some places they have to wait a year or more.

I live in NJ and would only have to take my driving test again. Normally if U have seizures you don't have to but my doctor wrote EVERTHING to DMV - dizziness, confusion, etc and now that my meds have helped all of that, DMV doesn't care and they still want me to re-take my test again and I have to go to a driving school to get a permit. People who drive drunk arent' re-tested but if you have a seizure disorder or any type of medical problem you are crucified and treated like a common criminal. I've only been seizure free for two months and in NJ its 6 months to a year before you can re apply for ur license but I'm still mad and I have a lawyer as I'm fighting this. If my doctor says I can drive I will go to a lawyer to fight this test thing again

Re: [epilepsy] Re: Does this sound like epilepsy???
Have you tried going to a neurologist? One of my doctors said it was stress in the hospital after I had my first seizsure and after a year of testing found out it was epilepsy with slow brain waves. Stress can induce a seizure but there has to be a reason for having them.

Hi Dawn
Stress is a funny thing. You may not feel at all stressed out in fact just the opposite and that is stress.
Do a search on Yahoo for 'signs of stress' and you will be surprised at the different ones. I right now am
super excited about going tomorrow for bbq at our daughters and seeing some of our great grand kids. Yet I
can feel in the underlying part of the brain there is stress. It is unexplainable how it shows in so many
different ways- or at least I can't explain... :)
If you don't get your medical records and full file, a new doctor will request them for sure. This is what
happened with me anyway.
Before you go to any dr or hospital write down a complete list of any questions (even should you think they
are stupid in nature) and hand it to the dr. Keep a list of everything that happens like a daily journal,
right down to the food he ate that day. Go with your gut - can certainly understand how you are feeling at
this time.
Best of luck
Julie

Thanks for responding Julie. I'm assuming that I'll be seeing an epileptologist, as I'll be at an epilepsy
clinic.
I really don't feel terribly stressed right now, nor did I when all this started. From what I've read about
pseudoseizures, they are normally stress-induced, and often stem from traumatic childhood events. The one
thing that does bother me is the neurologist who was treating me at the hospital gave me only 4 doses of
epilepsy meds, decided I wasn't responding, and then said it wasn't epilepsy at all. The only treatment I'm
receiving right now is xanax, which my family doctor is hoping--and so far has--will stop the seizures until I
can get to the epilepsy clinic.
I also can't decide if I should request my full medical record, or just the tests that were done (ct-scan,
mri, eeg, bloodwork, ekg). I want an unbiased second opinion, and I don't know what other information is in
the doctor's notes.
I do know that some of the nurses' notes were biased, as I read them after the neuro changed his mind. My son
had taken Keppra, and was taking 3500mg/day, and they were starting me on 1000mg, saying that was based on
weight. My son was only about 120lb at diagnosis, and they started him on 1500mg/day. I questioned the nurse
about the dosage, and her notes in my file read like I was a junkie looking to score drugs.
We were very frustrated with the lack of explanation we received at our local hospital, but are hopeful that
the information we get at a large epilepsy clinic will be more detailed and explained to our satisfaction.

[Healthy_Recipes_For_Diabetic_Friends] Re: Chicken Rojo - 39.9g Carbs CORRECTED to 10.7g Carbs, 3.4g Fiber
Thanks to Gary for the question! This should help!
As far as the recipes here... I prefer to post them with the PER SERVING nutrition information. IF it is for the entire recipe... I do state that... but that is rare.
Some specific nutrition for Tomatoes and Vidalia onions:
Tomatoes are naturally high in sugar, this recipe calls for 6 large the nutrition example I have included is for 1 medium tomato. As much as I love tomatoes they do tend to effect my readings.
For a tomato:
1 medium whole (2-3/5" dia) (123.0 g)
Nutrition per Serving:
4.8g Total Carbs, 1.5g Dietary Fiber, 3.2g Sugars
For 1/2 cup Vidalia onions:
Serving Size: 1/2 cup chopped raw (80.0 g)
Nutrition per Serving:
7g Total Carbs, 1g Dietary Fiber, 3g Sugars
--->>> I ran the nutrition again... must have been an error on my part. I apologize... some days I do not feel so good. Just recently began getting over the side effects of yet another medication I had to discontinue taking!
Thanks for the catch Gary!!
Anyway, here it is again...
The letter at the end of each ingredient is the nutrition grade.
24 ounces boneless skinless chicken (3-5 chicken breasts or thighs) B-
6 tomatoes, large A
1/2 onion, cut into quarters A
3 Tbsp light olive oil B
2 cups low sodium chicken broth (mixed with 2 cups of water)
1 tsp oregano A
1/2 tsp cumin A
1 tsp garlic, peeled and crushed A
1/2 tsp unsweetened cocoa powder A-
1 Tbsp chile powder, red (or chile paste) A
Servings: 4
Serving Size: 502 g (17.7075289 ounces)
Nutrition per Serving:
469 Calories, 212 Calories from Fat, 23.6g Total Fat, 5g Saturated Fat, 151mg Cholesterol, 211mg Sodium, 10.7g Total Carbs, 3.4g Dietary Fiber, 5.6g Sugars, 52.4g Protein
Vitamin A 44% - Vitamin C 43% - Calcium 6% - Iron 19%
Nutrition Grade: B+
Good points:
Low in sodium
High in niacin
High in selenium
High in vitamin B6
Bad points:
High in cholesterol
Take care... and if I should make an error... please feel free to let me know... It should be corrected so all can benefit.

Ethiopian Lentil Bowl (Amhari - Mesir Wat) - 39.6g Carbs, 18.3g Fiber, 3.5g Sugar
From: www.HungryMonster.com
This recipe is common to the Ethiopian Jews (Phalashi).
My understanding is that these are NOT unique to them.
Course: Lentils
Serves: 8
1/2 kilogram red lentils (1/2 kilogram = 17.63 oz)
2 large onions
1/2 cup oil
3 Tbsp tomato paste
1/2 tsp paprika, sweet or hot
1 head garlic
1/2 tsp ground ginger
1/4 tsp black pepper
1 tsp salt
3 cups water
Sort the lentils and soak in tap water for 30 minutes. Rinse in running
water and drain. Peel and finely chop the onions. Peel and mash the
garlic. Heat the oil in large pan and saute the onion until golden.
Add tomato paste and paprika and mix. Add half the water and the
garlic, ginger pepper and salt. Stir well and then add the rest of
the water, stir again, cover and bring to boil. When the water boil,
add the lentils, lower the flame and cook 20-30 minutes, until the
lentils soften. Serve hot.
