Guest guest Posted September 29, 2002 Report Share Posted September 29, 2002 , I'm sorry for Kayla's troubles, I know from MUCH experience and many, many ER visits. Our daughter has a VNS implant and it has been a miracle. It takes a LONG time to adjust it to the point that it is effective so I don't think it would make her worse...I've never heard of this. They told us not to expect to see anything for at least 6 months and we didn't have any big effect on seizure control for about a year...BUT we have gone from over twenty status seizures and countless smaller seizures per year to two so far this year. She is still on Topamax and if I mess with that we have a seizure so maybe there is something else going on with Kayla? Heat is one thing that used to set Emma off, our neuro explained that she cannot regulate her body temp so we tried to avoid overheating her. Can you bring a fan into the classroom or even a window AC? I would definitely hang in there with the VNS, I think worse case scenario it just won't work but I don't think it would cause seizures unless they skipped from " off " to the highest setting.

Guest guest Posted December 20, 2005 Report Share Posted December 20, 2005 Good Morning , My Son has the VNS..he has had it since April of 2001. Although the implant has decreased the seizures...it has not really PREVENTED them. Our experience with it, is that if we do not catch the seizure a few minutes before it actually happens... " swipping him with the magnet won't make a difference. " We have found that if we catch it when we see the aura, then it will knock out the seizure..but only prolongs the inevitable. is the first Pediatric Patient here to have the implant and to have it while being drug free. He has been on a dozen meds, and none of them have ever been successful...so his Neuro took him off of meds prior to his implant, and we have never put him back on anything. I am in a battle over here with the school, because THEY feel he should be put on meds..because he has been having lots of activity in school..on the bus, and I am up at the school at LEAST once a week to pick him up. And so far , every month..I have to go get him from the ER..cuz they have him transported to the hospital! They have been asking me about meds not only for the seizures..but for the little compulsive behaviors of his... " sniffing REALLY DEEPLY " {cuz he doesn't blow his nose} sometimes I think he's gonna sniff his brains out! " the raspberries " .. which is not only annnoying, but it is disgusting..because when he does that ..he sprays spit..and I CAN UNDERSTAND their concern about germs !! I am constantly wiping everything down with Lysol over here. {although I have switched to white vinegar..less expense..and much less harmful} He'll sometimes stomp his foot...in interviles.. every twenty seconds or so. Or snap his fingers.. I mentioned this to the neuro last week..and she REASSURED ME that Our decission NOT to put him on any meds is better for HIM in the long run! So..I was so relieved to hear that...because I have been struggling with that for some time now. {whether or not was doing the right thing.} She agreed that if none of the meds that he had been on were effective, that the chances of us EVER finding one to work..is going to be slim to none..and it is much better for him and his development ..not to put him on anything. So...we deal with his little " tics " and the school will have to do the same. After all... they GET PAID to deal with it... WE don't. We Do it, because we have to. Anyway...We've got an appointment with the Dermatologist in a little while... I still have to get ready and together.. Have a blessed day hope to hear from ya soon!

Guest guest Posted December 20, 2005 Report Share Posted December 20, 2005 Good Morning , We just brought in to see his Neuro last week... it's funny that you mentioned the sleep apnea thing...because I have noticed that since the adjustment ...he's been having a little trouble sleeping at night. Up and down a few times during the night...either to have a seizure, or just have the beginning of the seizure, then he'll nod out, and go to sleep. He's been sleeping in school..for at least an hour and a half or so... then he wakes and has a seizure... either he'll have the drops..or he will have a REALLY NICE ONE! Which , the school thinks it's a grand mal...but when the doctors have seen that type of seizure..they told me that it's not a grand mal. Also because , after that seizure..and the post ictle state...he bouces right back to his old self...and if it were a grand mal...that he'd be out of it FOR HOURS! And that is what the House Doctor said to the Social Worker on Thursday, when I had to go to the Hospital to pick my son up from there. I know that the school is doing all that they have to do... but ..there really isn't any need for all of that drama! NOT to mention how it will effect . being rushed to ER..by Ambulance, and having all of the medical staff around him like that. Anyway.. gotta run gotta get him to the dermatologist this morning. blessings, Dee " When Life Gives Ya Lemons...Make lemonade " and if a friend has Vodka...

Guest guest Posted December 20, 2005 Report Share Posted December 20, 2005 Hi Dee, I know the reason why they checked me, because I was saying my weight was rising and rising. But NOW I know, it was from my hormones. For know the weight is not rising anymore, because of the progesterone cream that I use. And that is why they found the sleep apnea. But it never woke me up or anything like that. Most likely waking my husband, LOL, from the snoring. SOrry to hear about your sons seizure. I used to hate if the school called the ambulance, which was so unnecessary. I dont blame you for feeling that way. I would not want to be rushed to the hospital each time I have a seizure. But they do it as a precaution and to save their skin too. FOr these days everyone is suing one another. Everyone is scared. Well I hope you get him checked for sleep apnea. Or get it lowered again so he can sleep better. take care > > Good Morning , > > We just brought in to see his Neuro last week... > it's funny that you mentioned the sleep apnea thing...because I have noticed that since the adjustment ...he's been having a little trouble sleeping at night. > > Up and down a few times during the night...either to have a seizure, or just have the beginning of the seizure, then he'll nod out, and go to sleep. > > He's been sleeping in school..for at least an hour and a half or so... > then he wakes and has a seizure... > either he'll have the drops..or he will have a REALLY NICE ONE! > Which , the school thinks it's a grand mal...but when the doctors have seen that type of seizure..they told me that it's not a grand mal. > Also because , after that seizure..and the post ictle state...he bouces right back to his old self...and if it were a grand mal...that he'd be out of it FOR HOURS! > And that is what the House Doctor said to the Social Worker on Thursday, when I had to go to the Hospital to pick my son up from there. > I know that the school is doing all that they have to do... > but ..there really isn't any need for all of that drama! > NOT to mention how it will effect . > being rushed to ER..by Ambulance, and having all of the medical staff around him like that. > > Anyway.. > gotta run > gotta get him to the dermatologist this morning. > > blessings, > Dee > > > " When Life Gives Ya Lemons...Make lemonade " > and if a friend has Vodka... > Have a Party! > > __________________________________________________ > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 20, 2005 Report Share Posted December 20, 2005 Hi Dee, We just had the device implanted on the 8th and it will be turned on the 22nd. I agree with you, I really do not think it will eliminate all the seizure activity unless I catch them when they first start. I don't know if you remember but only has nocturnal seizures and her main reason for getting the device is to be able to sleep in her own bed... I am not going to stay up all night to see when to swipe this magnet. Like your child, has failed all the seizure meds and I asked the neuro what is left to try after the VNS and she mentioned that since we are dealing with more than one focal point the gamma knife is our last option. I do however, feel the VNS will be good for regardless if it helps with the seizures or not because there is a lot of depression and other behavioral issues in my family and as you know the VNS is suupposed to help stimulate neurotransmitter activity which may benefit in other ways. Have you noticed any improvements such as your child being more outgoing, more motivated? Besides the seizures, what other diagnosis does your child have? You mentioned OCD, I have a real mild case of it. The good news is that most people as they get older the symptoms will lessen. I remember mine started roughly age 8-9, I would do stupid stuff like jump over cracks in the pavement, touch walls at certain intervals... I also have a mild case of Tourettes' syndrome so I had the ticks to go with it, my nose would twitch like a bunny rabbit, I wink my eye, funky shoulder movements. But again, they have lessened with age. Also I have learned that decreasing my stress level does wonders, it all but eliminates them. Routines, structure and avoiding a lot of controversy helps me as well. Sometimes I feel robotic because I do things the same way every single day but it helps me achieve peace of mind and lowers my stress level. However, Good to hear from you. Sincerely, Tracey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Braverman, MD in NYC, Amen, MD, LA and just two docs well qualified in these and other nutritional therapies. Braverman also has a device called CES (cranial electrical stimulator) that attaches to the forehead and wrist for 30 minutes a day that increase neurotransmitter activity. Nothing is implanted.

Guest guest Posted December 20, 2005 Report Share Posted December 20, 2005 Hello Dee and everyone who might find this useful. We had seizure problems with our younger teen son for last three years which were getting worse as time went by. I wanted for the last couple weeks to post this reply because I saw and felt same pain in all those who had to deal with themselves or their loved one. What we found useful are the following: Epilepsy & Neem Neem leaves may help control epilepsy (Larson, 1993). A Philadelphia doctor has reported that a patient with uncontrollable epilepsy ate neem leaves for 30 days and suffered no serious attacks over the next five months. These results may be due to neem's effects on the central nervous system or its ability to increase blood flow through vasodilatation. (Pillai and Santhakumari, 1984). http://www.bytheplanet.com/WhatAilsYou/Epilepsy/epilepsy.htm Ref: NEEM'S MEDICINAL USES http://www.neemfoundation.org/health.htm One is recommended to read Hulda 's book " CURE FOR ALL DISEASES " or its references on the web to understand the value of Hulda 's Zapper in treatment. Her theory about connection of seizures with ROUNDWORMS ASCARIS in the brain seems to be right on the spot. On the other day I was talking to the Neurologist but he was surprised to hear connection of worms and seizures. Well pharmaceuticals only train doctors to use their drugs just to do the band-aid help. The Zapper and NEEM herb seems to be attacking these invaders so that patient starts to see relief. Please read a very touching story of small boy and how his parents helped him fight off one the very difficult case of seizures. http://curezone.com/diseases/epilepsy/testimonials/Trace_grand_mal_seizure.htm Also useful: http://herballegacy.com/id79.htm Ear & Nerve Formula: Dr. 's Nervous System Formula is also helpful in addition. A boy 12 years old, was brought to me as a patient several years ago, who was having severe epileptic seizures and these had started after the child had received head injuries in an automobile accident. I have had success treating epileptic patients up to this time, by using our basics; bowel cleaning and blood purification, as well as using antispasmodic herbs. However, none of the procedures I had used over the years so successfully, worked at all with this new 12 year old patient. One night I sat alone in my office, after all my patients had left for the day, wondering why I was not getting the results with this boy as I had with others with the same condition. I realized that I needed " help " and so I prayed earnestly that something could be done for this child and after some time of praying and meditating an " idea " for a " formula " of herbs for nerves came to my mind. I quickly wrote down: blue cohosh, black cohosh, blue vervain, scullcap, and lobelia in a 90 proof tincture. I immediately went to the lab we had out in back of the office, and made up the tincture. When this formula was given to the epileptic boy patient, there was an immediate reaction, and before long, he showed great improvement. We found this same amazing formula would stop hiccups and was great to use by drops in the ear with oil of garlic to clear up earaches, and has even restored hearing in some cases. We called it B & B Tincture. [NL 2-11] Help by Phone (1-800-372-8255).

Guest guest Posted December 20, 2005 Report Share Posted December 20, 2005 Ragbir THanks for posting this. I find the info on Neem especially interesting. In fact I have a Neem tree within arm's reach and never knew of it's potential in seizure disorders. Dr 's formula can be taken every day. As I've posted before, plain Lobelia is what I've used for years to stop my son's seizures. But the formula's other ingredients would make it appropriate for a broader use.

When first started her seizures I tried everything to stop them including the costly Hulda remedy ie the zapper and ALL the herbs and vitamins... about $500 worth of stuff. Well long story short, it did not work.

Guest guest Posted December 21, 2005 Report Share Posted December 21, 2005 I read that post quite carefully. And, I've known Neem for a very long time as an antimicrobial both for humans and agriculture. So, in this instance, if seizures were triggered by increased body temps due to infections of any sort, then Neem might be an option. In the world of natural medicine, there are many antimicrobials...... raw garlic and goldenseal amongst them. Each culture worldwide had it's own set of antimicrobials adapted to that particular region. I understand your frustrations..... umfortunately what works for one may not work for another. We knew a young lady with bad gran mals and on Depakote or Dilatin with not good control One day, she came to visit with a 12 pack of Diet Coke. She drank most of them in the five hours she was here. My husband took her aside and suggested that the excitotoxins in the aspartame in the soft drink might be the root of her seizures. We saw her about a year later. She had stopped the Diet pop and stabilized, then was withdrawn from the seizure drugs. Seizure free, drug free..... And, no more soda pop of any kind. mjh In a message dated 12/21/2005 5:30:52 PM Eastern Standard Time, Traceygrubbs@... writes: No actually it relates to the mixture refered to in one of the e-mails.

Guest guest Posted December 21, 2005 Report Share Posted December 21, 2005 Hello MJH, How did you find this NEEM TREE (Azadirachta indica) ? Medicinal properties of neem have been known to Indians since time immemorial. The earliest Sanskrit medical writings refer to the benefits of neem’s fruits, seeds, oil, leaves, roots and bark. Each of these has been used in the Indian Ayurvedic and Unani systems of medicine. I am also interested in the NEEM PLANT. The Neem has adapted to a wide range of climates. It thrives well in hot weather, where the maximum shade temperature is as high as 49° C and tolerates cold upto 0° C on altitudes upto 1500 m. So this means Neem plant has to be indoors during the Mid-West Winters. Ragbir Chana foxhillers@... wrote: > > > Ragbir > > THanks for posting this.
