I'm giving Gabapentin a good try to see if it does work. Doubling up tonight is a bit like being drunk, stoned and tripping out at the same time. This is far too much to handle. I'm glad I'm at home (as I always am on a Saturday night now) because people would think I was out of my head if I was...

Thanks ever so much for your lovely and caring post mate. I forgot to mention the terrible news you were given about the brain tumour. I can't begin to imagine how terrifying that must have been at such a young age with your whole life in front of you. I'm so glad that you pulled through and...

I really hope things are better for you now buddy. Whenever I see anyone staggering or is off balance I never assume they're drunk because it could be any number of things - food poisoning, epilepsy, diabetes etc.

Sorry for not finishing my post earlier, Megazone. There's a couple of things I forgot to mention. When I was 14 I fell off my mountain bike with no crash helmet. It was pretty horrible, sustaining a head injury and I'm 100% convinced that my epilepsy was caused by that. Back then safety wasn't...

Thanks for your best wishes, pearl. Maybe all the horrible things are connected - I don't know, but I'm trying to look forward now. x

Megazone, thanks for your time and effort in tapping out a very long post! I'll try my best to answer everything that you've mentioned. I feel mornings are a better time of day to say how my body feels. Firstly, losing my job was something that was inevitable. My boss was very perceptive and...

It's legally prescribed in the UK so it could be an option. Only problem is with it being a barbiturate, doctors may be reluctant to start me on it as a barbiturate overdose can be easily done. Glad your dog is healthy and suited to it! Thanks for your help and post.

Thanks for your comforting post, Ninja Elephant. The first person you described sounds like he has generalised seizures. Can't begin to understand how terrifying it must be for him and everyone close by. It's incredibly difficult adjusting to Gabapentin. I just don't think I was prescribed the...

I think maybe my condition has been caused by heavy ecstasy use when I was younger. Even though it's been five years since I last took any, the long-term damage is still unknown. I only drink alcohol at the Amex and the occasional away match with sleep being better since I was let go. It's...

I've heard that the oil from cannabis can help but I'd prefer to try a different route. Sorry to hear about your migraines. When it starts affecting general everyday life it's horrible. Thanks for your reply.

I've recently been having partial seizures which have been quite frightening with my body shaking, dizziness and sickness. But for a long time now I've felt as though something really bad is going to happen to my body with my muscles claming up when I've undergone stressful days or events. One...
