Is There Something You Like Do But Don't Get To Do, But Once You Get That Chance You Go For It?
I think my response to this is my fishing I like to do but haven't done in from what I have been told 10 or 12 yrs ago, I do like to meddle once in a while cooking a few of my mom's dishes she made as I was a little kid, I like to try new things out as well,but I am a old school kinda person, my opinion, what about you, and your thoughts here?

Can Weight Have Something To Do With Seizures?
After digging through many theories and routes never even considered by "modern" medicine, I've started to wonder if weight/fat has something to do with epilepsy
I've read that visceral fat has something to do with health in other areas such as increasing the chances of getting diabetes or alzheimers or several other things. Well, if that's the case, I've been wondering if the 40 or 50 pounds I've put on since H.S. 30+ years ago is affecting the fact that, not only do I have more… read more

Mental Health Therapy
Has anyone in Ontario, Canada been able to find a therapist who specializes in mental health for people who have epilepsy? I am wanting to go to a therapist but i think it would be really helpful if they understood epilepsy without me having to teach them about seizures, medication and safety and all that.
I live in Maine USA, and am having the same exact problem. Seems strange you think the two go hand-in-hand. lol. Good luck

Hi guys,
I'm not on any medication at the moment for my tonic clonic and grand mal seizures.
I'm wanting to speak to my Dr about maybe starting Topomax.
Has anyone been on it? Any side effects? Does it help stop seizures?
Did you take topomax in conjunction with other seizure meds or on it's own?
Thanks heaps.
