Hi Sherrine, I know I have a LOT to be thankful for, and I'm ready to go...but going is the hard part! LOL I also have tinnitus so it is very hard for me to be involved in church as everything seems...
Dear Sherrine, Sometimes I feel no one believes me as I've been through 3 brain tumors (now 4) and Gerd and Non-Hodgekin's Lymphoma (10 years ago) and am still alive. Thanks so much for your answer...
Thank You, Jan Keen...
Thank you for your nice reply!...
I have been sharing a lot of your notes and comments to my friend who is worse off than me. I'm hoping she will follow the doctors orders, and your thoughts also....
That is a wonderful thought and I wish I could take this dog. Unfortunately I do live with people who do not like dogs...husband and mom, so I cannot adopt him. I'm the one with epilepsy and a lot of...
I was going to vote for Mayo as I've been there many times. However, mine have been for brain tumors and they are the best for that. Sorry it didn't work out for you....
Yesterday a friend picked me up (as I am not allowed to drive) :-( and we went to a restaurant and I had a RibEye Steak sandwich AuJus. Nothing else before or after till supper and mom made us a...
Is this a new diagnosis for you, or have you had Epilepsy all your life? I never heard of Vinpat but there are new drugs all the time. I'm on the "original" Dilantin and Phenobarbital....
WOW! That is incredible. I will have to tell you tho, that I've been on Pheno and Dilantin since I was 31 and I'm 65 now. If I go off and try anything "new" then I get the seizures. I guess it...
This is the worst of Gerd I've ever heard. I guess I'll quit complaining!...
B=Coffee L=Chicken Malibu Croissant & French Fries (that I never ever eat!) S=Stauffers Lasagna with 1 piece of Garlic Bread Mom says she thinks we'll regret this! Dr told me that I'm going in for a...
Today, I had a cheeseburger for Brunch and feel fine so far. Most of the time I'm my own food maker to eat so don't think "McDonalds" when you see cheeseburger. LOL I had to go in to get my blood...
Hi kraxkrax---I sincerely think I would die without my early morning coffee. Yesterday I had my coffee, and for lunch my brother brought me (my recipe) for spaghetti (he said it was too hard to make)...
Breakfast: Coffee Lunch: Mushroom Cheese Omelet (2) eggs OK till supper. Have One piece of pizza and regretted it! I'm not usually up this late but I'm not feeling the greatest. Every Fri night we...

PS: 4 Dilantin at 100mg and 2 Phenobarbital at 30mg ea...
Oh My Goodness ohio! I never dreamed of so many people having so many seizures when on Dilantin. The last time I had a seizure they put me on an additional drug, phenobarbital...and I take it once a...
Thank you Sookie...same here! Most of the time I forget what time of day it is and just drink my coffee and water and wonder why I'm so full. Then I make sure I eat a big supper and whoa...that's...
I mean "THAN" me not "that" me...oy vey!...
So far, I haven't heard anyone say that they smoke...cigarettes that is! I have a friend who is much worse off that me and she is a smoker. Thanks...
I also was told that every cup of coffee I drink, I need to drink a cup of water to dilute it. At least the Dr didn't tell me to give up the only drug I'm addicted too..."caffeine"!...
Thank you kraxkrax...I just went there and was very surprised and now I know why I still get this even tho I know there is no cure. Everyone in my family loves Garlic, and it said "NO GARLIC" along...
Thank you jamosca....I keep hoping others will share with me so I know what not to eat! If someone has like a "Menu" for those of us with GERD...I would like to know. Now I have to say I ate one of...
I grilled Tilapia and microwaved potato's for the family of 3. Hubby, mom, and me. That's it for the day and I hope I can keep it this way. I did have to take ONE tums today. By the way, are Maalox...
Thank you Denise. I have also wondered about nerves and stress, so thanks for bringing that up. I keep thinking that I should know the right way to live, but obviously I don't! Hopefully by the time...

I know for a fact that my GERD is from what I eat. Thank you for the Diet. I sure wouldn't mind eating the same everyday. Its mom that manages to bake something that is sure to make me sick! LOL She...
Hi nslady1---Has she had any MRI's or CT Scans? I have epilepsy that never started till I was 31 and I'm now 65. I have to go back to my neurologist next Tues to see if it has grown back...oops...I...
I'm hoping everyone has either CT Scans or MRI's before classifying it as False Seizures. Mine were caused by Brain Tumors, and I'm still on my Dilantin and Phenobarbital....the ancient drugs of...
Thank you for your reply. There are so many people who know me and can't believe I'm still alive, so that is my best line for the day! lol 10 years ago, I also had Non-Hodgekins Lymphoma, went...
I found that Milk helps me in the middle of the night!...
I'm finding out when we get a hint of something wrong when the GERD seems to take over, even the Drs do not understand. The worst of it is when they "insert" a Bravo-Meter and it suddenly...
I'm new, so this will be quick. My first seizure came at age 31 and when the 2nd one hit, they did a test and found out I had my first brain tumor. I then was put on Dilantin. BT was removed. 2nd...
