Beyond EEGs…Diagnostic Tools for Epilepsy
3 Comments
How many of us have heard: “Your EEG is normal. You’re fine..” (“It’s all in your head?”)
I know of people who have had 5 EEGs, only to be properly diagnosed when they finally had video EEG monitoring.
So if someone is trying to pass you off or is ignoring your symptoms, perhaps you should become a little more familiar with your diagnostic options…

One of the main goals of the new Health Care Bill is to make sure most Americans have insurance coverage, no matter what their health status is, their age or their disability. Thirty-two million more Americans would obtain coverage beginning in 2014. That’s about 94 percent of citizens and legal residents.
For example: Medicaid would be turned into a true program for the poor, rather than just covering about half the poor, mostly because of the way the eligibility rules differ from state to state.

I was born a writer. Just like I was born with brown eyes. In 5th grade when we were assigned to write a poem with an illustration, everyone wrote about the spring, flowers, stars, the city, the country. I wrote about racism. My illustration was a black silhouette pasted against white paper. My teacher promptly sent me home with a note for my parents, accusing me of plagiarism.
Diabetes Drug for Epilepsy?
2 Comments
“Two years ago, University of Wisconsin-Madison scientists reported they had suppressed epileptic seizures in rats by giving them a glycolytic-inhibitor, inhibiting the brain’s ability to turn sugar into excess energy and blocking the expression of seizure-related genes. The discovery was greeted with excitement and hope for a new class of drugs for epilepsy, which afflicts more than 50 million people worldwide…”
