I have developed a seizure disorder, could use some advice?


I have one little boy, i was on the meds during pregnancy. He was healthy and normal and i had no problems. It's been four years since his birth and i've had four more seizures. i'd like to have baby but i'm scared. do you stop while your ahead? or do you roll the dice and try for another child?

is it true that there is a cure for aids?



Answers:
Since I don't know what kind of seizures you have, it makes it harder to answer this. However, I would suggest talking to your doctor first of all. My friend has a seizure disorder, and if she were to get pregnant she couldn't stay on her medication. You said that you were on your meds during your pregnancy, so obviously, it's different. However, you should talk to your doctor and discuss the risks and possible complications you would encounter with another pregnancy (if you haven't already talked to him/her about it). If I were you, I'd probably "stop while you're ahead" as you put it. Pregnancy affects your body in so many ways that it seems more likely that you would have complication from the disorder, and I wouldn't want to risk it, for myself or my baby. You may want to consider adoption if you really want another child. I'm sorry I couldn't really give a good answer - Good luck and God bless!

Gluten Allergy?

I cannot speak to your question, but since the reading I have done seems to connect seizures to blood sugar, and blood sugar controls insulin, I would suggest that you get your insulin levels checked. If your insulin level is less than 10, then it is normal.

Can you have just HIV or does it always have another STD with it?

Difficult question. There is no clear answer. The important thing is to have a long talk with your doctor, and make a decision regarding medications. Grand mal convulsions are dangerous both to mother and to fetus. There is a finite risk of problems with the baby if you take medications. But the risk of uncontrolled seizures can be greater. Some medications are less potentially harmful to the fetus than others. And monotherapy (one medication), if it works, may be less risky than more than one medication. But it is most important to get seizures well-controlled.
