Going In The Hospital For A Few Days

Hey everyone,

Well, I'm going in the hospital tomorrow. It's related to my epilepsy (I know others on our forum here have had seizures/epilepsy too). The doctor is going to try and reduce the number of meds. I take, but I need to be in the hospital because she is going to do it rapidly.

I'm actually kind of excited. It's the first "new treatment" I've done in years for my seizures. I hear the med. that she's putting me on has horrible side-effects (It's called Topamax), but everyone is different...so it could work for me. :huh:

I'm just ready to quit having the seizures, migraines, fatigue, vertigo, sleepiness, muscle weakness, etc. that I have on my current medications.

Please keep me in your thoughts and prayers. :wub:

hugs. -Julie

Wow. Prayers for you! It sounds like what you've doing hasn't been working too well so hopefully this will be the right change.

Wow Julie--this does sound scary but exciting at the same time. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers for sure--I hope this new treatment is successful and that you don't suffer too many side effects.

Take care--we'll see you when you're up to it :D

I hope everything goes well and that they are able to feed you safely. I have a history of seizures that I was lucky and turned out to be gluten related. Please be really careful with what they feed you. It would be a shame to have everything your going to be doing negated by them glutening you.

Hope all goes well for you. I take Topamax for a different reason 800mg a day and the only side effect I have is weight loss and for me the was a good thing.

      Fighting for a name

      By Jmartes71 · Posted

      Im so frustrated and still getting the run around trying to reprove my celiac disease which my past primary ignored for 25 years.I understand that theres a ray of medical that doctors are limited too but not listening and telling the patient ( me) that im not as sensitive as I think and NOT celiac!Correction Mr white coat its not what I think but for cause and affect and past test that are not sticking in my medical records.I get sick violently with foods consumed, not eating the foods will show Im fabulous. After many blood draws and going through doctors I have the HLA- DQ2 positive which I read in a study that Iran conducted that the severity in celiac is in that gene.Im glutenfree and dealing with related issues which core issue of celiac isn't addressed. My skin, right eye, left leg diagestive issues affected. I have high blood pressure because im in pain.Im waisting my time on trying to reprove that Im celiac which is not a disease I want, but unfortunately have.It  has taken over my life personally and professionally. How do I stop getting medically gaslight and get the help needed to bounce back if I ever do bounce back to normal? I thought I was in good care with " celiac specialist " but in her eyes Im good.Im NOT.Sibo positive, IBS, Chronic Fatigue just to name a few and its all related to what I like to call a ghost disease ( celiac) since doctors don't seem to take it seriously.

      @Martha Mitchell, your reaction to the lens implant with gluten sounds like it could be an allergic reaction rather than a celiac reaction. It is possible for a celiac to be also allergic to gluten as it is a protein component in wheat, barley and rye.

      Scott I also have different symptoms than most people. It affects me bad. Stomach ache, headache, nauseous, heart racing, whole body shaking, can't walk then my throat starts to close. It attacks my nervous system. The only thing that saves me is a 1/2 of Xanax...it calms down my nervous system

      Scott Adams. I was dealing with a DR that didn't care about me being celiac. I repeatedly told him that I was celiac and is everything gluten-free. He put an acrylic lens from j&j. I called the company to ask about gluten and was told yes that the acrylic they use has gluten....then they back tracked immediately and stopped talking to me. The Dr didn't care that I was having issues. It took me 6 months and a lot of sickness to get it removed.... which can only happen within 6 months. The Dr that took it out said that it was fused and that's why I lost vision. If they would have removed it right away everything would be fine. He put in a silicone one that was gluten-free and I've had no issues at all in the other eye. Do not do acrylic!
