seizure medication?

April R
I know this is a shot in the dark, but the last neuropsychologist I saw thought that what I was describing to him as far as my ES symptoms went was a kind of neurological electrical disturbance (which, I guess, it sort of is, just with an outside source) and brought up a type of seizure medication (!) that he thought might help me.  Well, I got home and looked it up and, wouldn't you know it, one of the common side effects for this drug is _seizures_.  Even after you stop taking it.  So I never did.  But I can't help wondering if it would work, although I'd hate to use myself as a guinea pig like that.  Has anybody else ever tried this?

beware the modern medicine man.
he speaks with forked tongue.
his medicines make people worse.
pursue natural means of health and
healing.  "let food be your medicine."  
did you see that video by the woman
MD who cured her own MS?  i think
diet is the way to go.  
it's how i take care of myself and all
i really need to know is what i am
'fighting' and then look up everything
on the web... what works and the
food source of what works.  if anyone
needs help researching, let me know.
i'd be willing to lend a bit of time and
attention.
love, patricia
