Avatar f tn The pain appears to get worse following seizure events. He has be having a run of CPS recently and the pain is becomming intollerable for him. No one can tell us why he is having so much pain or what is causing it therefore nothing is done for it. I have tried drugs like brufen and panadol and panadeine. He claims these do nothing and refuses to take them for that reason. I need to stop his pain somehow.
Avatar n tn I am a Type II diabetic (diagnosed 10 years ago) on metformin (1,000 mg. daily) and prandin (2 mg with meals). I have been diagnosed with a heart problem and have been exercising regularly as part of cardiac rehab. I have been experiencing frequent sugar lows, resulting in blurred vision and dizzyness. Last week, I awoke in the hospital after having diabetic seizures. I remember feeling weak and taking some glucose tablets. Apparently these weren't enough to ward off the seizure.
Avatar f tn High powered lasers (Class IV) can be very dangerous and ineffective. Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) are used to reduce pain and accelerate healing. You will often hear of these being used by professional athletes, Olympians and others who want a drug-free, effective, non-invasive safe solution without side-effects. Take a look at www.MultiRadiance.com for more information, studies and applications. LLLT may be an option for you.

Avatar f tn I've also been taking zofran with my pregnancy. I seen the ads as well. I just plan on talking to my doctor. I've had similar conversations with my doctor about medications (prednisone, albuterol, duoneb) and he had just felt the benefit outweighed the risk.
Avatar n tn Most doctors will consider tapering the dosage and discontinuing seizure medicines after a seizure-free period of 2 years. Some doctors taper seizure medications over 6 weeks. There is this study that shows no difference whether the medications are tapered over a six-week or a nine-month period. One advantage of shorter taper period is that the outcome of the attempt to discontinue treatment may be known sooner, shortening the period of adjustment for the patient.(http://content.nejm.
Avatar f tn Antiseizure medications are prescribed based on the type of seizure you are having. Almost 70% of people can get their seizures controlled once right medication is started. Do consult neurologist. Take care and regards!
