Belinda,
I can understand very well what you meant before and here again too. So my question is, would you be interested in trying the same alternative like the one I'm doing here today, for myself? Or possibly any other alternatives?
So far, what I'm doing is very simple and easy. It's a natural process, and just takes some time for your body to establish itself, like whenever anyone starts taking a new prescribed medication for the first time. Or even a plant being put into the group, it takes time to take root.
oh, and not only is this treatment plan working for my seizures it has also lowered my cholesterol pretty good too.

Belinda,
With all that you've gone through without any positive results, now may be a time for you to look at other alternative treatments. I myself, have gone through several medications, just not all of them. There's a brand new medication, LYRICA (PREGABALIN), due to come out this fall in the US. With the information about it as being an add-on treatment for partial onset seizures, my neurologist may switch one of the two current meds I'm taking (Keppra & Lamictal) over to the Lyrica.
I've also gone through many tests, up to the pre-surgical eeg, with the results of it being very unsafe to have surgery. My loose my speaking abilities. Due to many replies from people with the VNS, I'm NOT going to do it, nor the RNS (responsive neurological stimulator). So I've looked elsewhere and found an alternative which has given me some positive results.
I posted a long story and the information about this alternative on another thread, with my past user name of batman. Anyway, here's the website address that it's listed under. Titled 'Epilepsy Treatment Plan'.
