Myself, I can't lose any more weight. Depakote already did that to me years ago, and I am at about the minimum level now that I can take. I can see it in their eyes, my epileptologist of 25 years...

We are growing lemon and melon cucumbers, and can’t believe the yield of the crop. Almost every day we are harvesting 5 or 6 of each. Soon they will peak and produce more!

I am hoping that the original poster might see this.

Can you be more specific about what kind of neurological communication, and possibly the type of device, or purpose?

An EEG could be sent...

Currently I am taking a much needed pause in Ireland. I will post more on this subject on my return.

Hi Porkette,

While I was in my hospital bed, I was doing a lot of reading and research on different techniques of interruptions and interventions that can, or have been successfully used to stop...

Hi there, sorry for the silence.

I got out of the hospital after having some seizures. We learned a lot.
The doctors immediately gave me lorazepam to stop the ongoing seizures, plus put me back...

Yes funnylegs, you found my old post detailing my experience with fighting seizures! That’s probably the best one I have ever put in text. I’m glad it’s there. My memory only will degrade with...

The RNS is used for partial onset seizures. The electrodes are implanted subdurally, with the device just under the scalp. Part of the Telemetry will be to find the focus or foci, so the electrodes...

Thanks for the (((hugs))) Rose, my mind feels like it’s going wild right now. I did spend the day out along about 100 miles of the coast north of San Francisco yesterday to attempt to group my...

The thread I started in the epilepsy forum is titled Telemetry Again.

I have been out of the loop for a while. Silly me, since what’s up with me has to do with epilepsy and seizures, I posted it in the epilepsy forum! I do however want it to get all the attention as...

I have found a wide variety between some of the strains. There are sativa, or indica dominant strains. The sativa dominant tend to be more stimulating for me, and can induce seizures if they are too...

A good explanation of what a 3 Tesla MRI is, can be found here... 3TMRI

Oh yeah, all this is preliminary to candidacy, & making a decision about a “device”. Eventually that “device” could be the RNS which would be programmed with data processesd from the telemetry...

At this point, “devices” simply mean my “gadgets” that I am going to be bringing, my iPad, cell phone, and laptop... These will be to keep me from going crazy with boredom, and give me some form of...

Next week, on Monday, I will be admitted to the hospital, tapered off my meds, probably sleep deprived, and bored silly until the seizures start... That’s of course what we want. Though the first...

Hi funnylegs4,

Partial seizures fascinate me, for many reasons. I love to hear detailed descriptions of others' simple partials. They can be so very unique!
The name "partial seizure" was given...

Hello there my BT comrades,

Yes Porkette I am indeed interested!

I am happy to hear that NY has joined the medical cannabis "free states". I'm sure many people eventually benifit from this,...

Definitely appeal the decision. My guess is that the SSA is just cutting people off to lower expenses. In my experience, they seem to work like insurance companies do, expecting that by doing so,...

I am still compiling, & particularly like how the blog feature has draft saving capabilities. ...

All my best to you, as always (((Dan))).

I will keep you in my thoughts.

Spooky!

I am assuming since everyone's seizures are unique, each would have their own "voice".
It kind of makes me wonder what mine sound like?

Hey sandinmyears! I apologize for not replying earlier, I must have missed this thread entirely the past few times I quickly browsed BT. I blame my depression, & intense pain from the kidney stones...

Hiya Rabbit!

Hi, welcome to BrainTalk Communities.

I have some experience with seizures and the medications used to treat them, so I'll let loose with some basics.

Yes, there are many different types of...

Hi Rose,

Since you give no description or observations precursory to the start of the seizure, besides that he was watching a Pink Floyd DVD. The odds of just figuring this out from the...

Hi Sue,

I regret to hear about the difficulties you are having with increased seizures, and any changes thereof. However, I did want you to know there may indeed be some helpful properties to...

A tonic clonic seizure would involve first a "stiffening" stage, (tonic) then the "shaking" stage, (clonic), which is more accurately described as a "repetitive jerking contraction and...

Yes, with the different types of symptoms you have described, this certainly does sound like it could be some kind of partial seizure. The only thing that makes me a bit...

Hi Porkette,

Sorry to hear you are sick. I do agree with you on the point of the parents sending their kids to school sick. I know I usually get whatever is floating around the school. My wife...

Glad to hear you are out of the hospital!

I wish you the best during your recuperation phase.

Yes, I agree. Wow!

I can surely empathize with your situation Tiger. I have recently had some medically traumatic experiences myself. Though thankfully none that had to do with the pulmonary...

Thanks for all the well wishes, it means a lot.

In this case, my intent was to make it to the back seat...

Monday I had one heck of a seizure just outside a local grocery store. This of course caused me to do a nose dive into the cement, in doing so, not only scraped up my face, hands, knees, but the...

I don't know if it's because of the change in seasons, but I'm definitely having an increase in seizures lately. I've had to have an increase in my dosage of Topamax. Hopefully that will do the...
