I have been thinking of doing a three-day juice cleanse, but it just crossed my mind it could be bad for seizure control after the pamphlet mentioned it was important to still ingest sodium while doing the cleanse. Has anyone had experience with, or done, a juice cleanse before? None of the juices have grapefruit in them, it is a mix of fruits, veggies, and coconut milk. Thanks!!
I have been advised to avoid certain types of cheese like blue vein and certain nuts because these can trigger seizures. Anyone else been told to avoid these or other foods?

I dont always shout i do tend to go through it on my own.

I started taking a magnesium supplement about 10 days ago. It seems to be helping my cognitive functioning and sleep. Anyone else tried magnesium? Did it help?
Has anyone ever been to or had experience with an epilepsy center/hospital that specializes in that? I have an appointment with one, and I am pretty nervous about it. I am looking forward to getting some answers, but I am also nervous for what may lie ahead of me. My neurologist has recently told me that she fears my seizures are becoming "medicine resistant", and I don't have to be a doctor to know that they have been much more frequent in the past two years than they have been most of my life… read more
