Guest guest Posted March 14, 2006 Report Share Posted March 14, 2006 Does anyone take/give selenium? 's bloodwork from Jan showed low Selenium levels. I had asked for this test as I had researched that low selenium can lower seizure thresholds/cause seizures. I asked his neuro but he didn't know of any correlation (despite research in neurological journals, but lets not go there for now). Anyway, when we saw Metabolics in Feb for the first time (trying to find out what happened with J in the first place and whether it's continuing), the Dr. was interested in the low selenium and is having it re-tested. The results take a while to come back. In the meantime, 's seizures continue and it's driving me crazy, so I'm just wondering if anyone knows about selenium and how much to supplement. When I put 's diet into Fitday it is also low in selenium. I have 100mcg tabs but the dosage is adult and weighs only 11.5kg (25 pounds), so I don't know what to give him (too much selenium can cause seizures too). Also, 's brain damage is the underlying cause for his seizures so I may be swimming upstream here, looking for a solution to something that can't be fixed. I just can't watch another cluster of seizures. I can't take it any more. (OK Mommy get over it and get on with it, pity break done). Thanks.
