I see a dietitian as well and have small milky drinks supplied for the same reason, I don't have a big appetite, what can have effect on your epilepsy and your overall health.
I am extremely violent and strong. I have flipped tables, fallen down flights of stairs, anything to try and "get out" of these seizures.
