Hi A, I missed the surgery part earlier. Why did you have the Nasal
surgery??
This might surprise you too!! Sinusitis and other inflammatory issues
including Asthma can sometime be a sign of dehydration too. The Liver
intentionally produces more histamines to inflame lungs and nasal passages
to reduce moisture loss through breathing when we are slightly dehydrated.
That's why many OTC allergy and sinus meds contain "Antihistamines" . to
reduce the swelling so we can breathe. When we talk of hydration, only
water counts. I suggest avoiding "Purified or Reverse Osmosis water too as
they can be quite acidic which works against the purpose of flushing waste
out of our cells.
Interesting to know the Antioxidants have anti -inflammatory action s on the
body and brain too.
Email me direct at Aina-Pat@cox.net or friend me on face book; Pat Delorenzo
and I'll send you 2 really good documents on this if you like.
Go to the blog at Epilepsy.com and type dehydration into the search bar too.
Lots of conversations on the topic. All nerve & electrical processes of the
body and brain occur through cellular water. An unrecognizable 1%
dehydration level has been proven to result in a 5% loss of Cognitive
Function. Kind of explains Brain fog. Proper hydration is more important
than diet!

Hi Pat
I realised that I am affected by atmospheric pressure when
it is stormy as I can always feel it when a storm is
brewing, but I didn't know dehydration plays a big part too.
I do drink a lot but possibly not enough. Also I have had to
use salt water to clean my nose after surgery so perhaps the
salt is not helping me in some way, although it is only a
couple of teaspoons of salt in a liter of water but is it
possible the extra salt may be making me more thirsty
without me realising it. I had an operation on my sinuses in
February and have to continue to keep it clean.
Regards
Adrien

Hi Adrien, RE: The storms.. It is changes in Barometric
pressure that effect many including my daughter. So much so
we bought a Barometer. We live in So Cal, and even though we
rarely get storms or rain we get incoming High Pressure
systems that cause hot windy days. Always thought it was the
wind till someone told me about the Barometric Pressure
because it effects her Diabetes too.
Dehydration is an even bigger factor in Epi. Chronic low
level Dehydration is NOT Noticeable and has Nothing to do
with the temperature or weather.
Many people get dehydrated in the winter because cold does
not trigger thirst mechanisms! Without proper hydration our
bodies don't properly assimilate and transport the meds.
Dehydration causes increased cellular Oxidative Stress a
much known trigger of seizures.

Hi liz
I don't think it was dehydration as it isn't hot here, we've
had nothing but rain for the last 6 weeks or so. On Friday
though we did have some thunder storms, I know they play
havoc with my epilepsy. Strange.
Regards
Adrien

Could you have been dehydrated? Caffeine is a diuretic, so
if you aren't getting proper fluid--especially in the summer
heat--you'll dehydrate. Make sure to get adequate food, too.

Hi
Last week I increased my tegretol on the instructions of the
neurologist, on Friday I felt very ill, almost depressed, I
only took 3 extra tablets, Wednesday night, Thursday and
Friday mornings, I couldn't do anything. I immediately put
it back down to my original level, it was only increased
from 1000 mg per day to 1100 mg per day. 600 mg morning and
500 nights. I obviously couldn't cope with the higher
amount. Anyway, since then I have gradually felt better, it
has taken 5 days to settle down again. Today I feel ok, no
real problems, just a slight muzzyness but I am ok. Monday I
felt very bad. I suppose because I was worrying about it, I
was making it worse. Today I have done two things, only
drunk 2 cups of coffee and have kept myself busy getting
ready for my holiday.
This is my question, do some brands of coffee interact with
some medications? It just seemed odd to me that I not having
drunk much coffee today, I feel better. Very strange.
Regards
Adrien
