I had my first seizure when I was 50 years old - 15 years ago. I was diagnosed with temporal lobe epilepsy, and had one or two complex-partial seizures a year until about 5 1/2 years ago. I had two seizures back-to-back one night, and I haven't had another one since that time. (Yes, I know how very fortunate I am!)
One of the most curious results of my seizure disorder is that my brain has become extremely sensitive. I know exactly how much coffee I can drink before I get extremely jittery. And I can't take any kind of over-the-counter cold/allergy medication. I had found one generic variety of a children's night-time cough/cold medicine that didn't bother me. But lately they have evidently changed to a new brand of diphenhydramine, and when I took some the other night I felt like I had cockle-burrs in my head for a couple of days.
Does anyone else have this type of sensitivity? I used to take a couple of different amino acids to help with my ADD issues, but I find that I can't even take them anymore. It's not a really big deal, but I'd like to know if it's just me, or if maybe others have had the same experience.
