Common Questions and Answers about Seizure zinc deficiency

The major sign of zinc deficiency is affected taste. The zinc taste test is recommended. I have had this done for free at my local pharmacy showing i had zinc deficiency. You can also purchase zinc sulfate to try at home. I can't say for sure what all my zinc deficiency symptoms were as i has other severe deficiency states and medical conditions concurrently.
Copper supplements are incredibly cheap, but you want to be sure you have the deficiency. Copper and Zinc are in balance, so be careful you don't deplete your zinc. Using bracelets won't work. Again, supplementation is very cheap with this one, and you only need a very small amount. Or you can research foods that are rich in copper and do it that way.
Elevated TSH with normal labs is called subclinical hypothyroidism. There may or may not be any hypothyroid symptoms with this lab result. Exercising, eating better and correcting any deficiency states might see the TSH come down. I'd say retest in say 6 months.
I have read you may become sensitive to foods you eat it often but if you stop eating those foods for some time you might be able to tolerate them again.
You should talk to your doctors about zinc deficiency. Zinc is essential to a healthy immune system and a deficiency in it causes hair loss.
Another thought would be thyroid deficiency.
Just a couple of thoughts for you to run by your doctors. I don't know if they can test zinc, but there are several tests for thyroid that can be run. Make sure that you get all of them. Sometime the first more simple tests are inconclusive.

I am not sure about the tumor connection. White spots under the nails may be a zinc deficiency -- a multivitamin may help that.
Zinc helps to heighten our concentration, which is important for study, storing information and facilitates in times of brain stress. Zinc deficiency may trigger memory loss, movement impediment and muddled thinking.
ve had insulin resistance for decades which is why I was low in magnesium and zinc for decades. My symptoms of zinc deficiency included poor sense of taste and smell, poor appetite, very fussy eater, night blindness, white spots on nails. I also healed very slowly but that was notably due to vitamin B12 malabsorption although low zinc wasn't helping matters.
Since correcting my zinc deficiency I can now eat cooked carrots that are burnt on the edges - fussy much?
ve had issues similar to this although the pain was in my esophogus when swallowing. In my case this was due to copper deficiency (due to taking zinc tablets - too much zinc lowers copper) affecting my nerves. I also had excessive saliva and difficulty swallowing due to vitamin B12 deficiency (another deficiency that affects the nerves). Sounds like you also have some neurological issue going on although I can't say what is causing it.
if i get a ph call or my family call in, i fall apart inside...feel like im going to go mad, have a seizure from the dread and panic.....I hate seeing my family when im like this, its as though the extra stress of not showing them how i am puts me in a worse state.

Thank you for your response, is it a macupapular rash?
I just found out that there is a class-action lawsuit against the companies that make denture adhesive. It seems that these adhesives contain enough zinc to cause many of the my FMS symptoms. I've been wearing dentures for 18 years and I have always used the same brand of adhesive, which is made by one of the companies targeted by the lawsuit. I called my Dr this am to arrange a blood test to determine the my zinc levels.
They subside when I take high phosphorus foods like meats. I read that calcium supplements can cause phosphorus deficiency. Please see: http://www.nutraingredients.com/Research/Calcium-supplements-should-contain-phosphorous-too-says-study
I have done blood tests and the results for calcium and phosphorus came back normal. But I read that blood calcium does not reflect dietary calcium.
Gastric bypass can produce Zinc deficiency and condition resembling 'Acrodermatitis enteopathica type' or kwashiokor like blisters on skin.Nutritional correction would help in recovery. in both if so.

My main reason for severe depression was due to severe vitamin B12 deficiency (just to add vitamin B12 and folate deficiency are causes of low platelet count too).
I seriously think what happened was because of prilosec and long term history of B12 deficiency. Do you think my deficiency has something to do with my spiked EEG?
