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.

      Chicken Thighs

      Here is a link to the skin version, and the only ingredients are "chicken": https://www.perduefarms.com/en-US/perdue-bone-in-chicken-thighs-pack/60625.html There should also be ingredients and any allergens listed there on the package.

      Chicken Thighs

      Welcome to the forum, @BeeBarnard! I really can't imagine how either skin or skinless chicken thighs could not be gluten free unless one or the other were treated with some seasoning ingredient that was not gluten free. Do the product labels indicate any additional ingredients added to the meat? Is your daughter a super sensitive celiac? If not, the...

      Chicken Thighs

      HI, My daughter was recently diagnosed with Celiac and I would like to make her some chicken soup (she's got he flu). I found all gluten free ingredients but I'm having trouble with the chicken. I purchased Purdue bone-in chicken thighs from BJ's Wholesale Club. Purdue says that they are gluten free but the BJ's website says no. It seems like skin-on chicken...

      Cooking with Scallop Medalions

      Perimenopause/menopause

      Hello there, it's been ages since I signed into this account. Wanted to see if there were other celiac patients that have gone through perimenopause/menopause and chose to take estrogen or wear an estrogen patch? I know all of our bodies are different but curious how it went or is going for you. Thanks so much.

Do the product labels indicate any additional ingredients added to the meat? Is your daughter a super sensitive celiac? If not, the amount of gluten cross contamination found in seasonings is usually inconsequential.
