I have joined this site in the capacity of a carer.

My son has Epilepsy and also suffers from ME/CFS.

The first signs of absence seizures were at 11, Tonic/clonic at 14 and then myoclonic.

He has had ME/CFS for over 2 years now and do to ill health had to leave school.

I have started a blog on barbarajbrown.blogspot.co.uk/

and my first posting is called Epilepsy and M.E.

I want to raise awareness of these two conditions so I hope you will visit the page and share it with your contacts by clicking on the button towards the bottom of the page. You can also leave any comments at the bottom of the page

All good wishes to those affected by epilepsy or ME/CFS

Hello there!

Although I don't have epilepsy, I do have severe M.E., and have had for the past 21 years. Changes to my diet helped me enormously and I was wondering if you've tried your son on a gluten free diet?

Gluten is a neurotoxin and as M.E. is a complex, multi systemic, inflammatory auto immune, neurological disease it made complete sense to me to be GF, and it definitely makes a difference to my symptoms. :O)
