What is the best treatment for epilepsy combined with diabetes?


Being my son has to give himself insulin injections,and now has been diagnosed with with epilepsy,what is the best treatment to stop his seizures,maintain insulin levels and stop his depression & sleepless nights?
----------

Follow this for the diabetes, and do extra anulom vilom(stimulates left and right brain) to help with the epilepsy.You will have better sleep in 9 days.
These pranayam exercises will help control the diabetes and the side effects.Build up the timing gradually.If you feel tired or dizzy, stop and resume later(after about a minute).The benefits will be noticed in weeks as the sugar level is checked daily.Over the long term the diabetes will be in full control.

Kapalbhati -(Do it before eating) Push air forcefully out through the nose about once per second. Stomach will itself go in(contract in). The breathing in(through the nose) will happen automatically. Establish a rhythm and do for 15 to 30 minutes twice a day.
Children under 15 years – do 5 to 10 minutes twice a day.
Not for pregnant women. Seriously ill people do it gently.

Anulom Vilom –
Close your right nostril with thumb and deep breath-in through left nostril
then – close left nostril with two fingers and breath-out through right nostril
then -keeping the left nostril closed deep breath-in through right nostril
then - close your right nostril with thumb and breath-out through left nostril.
This is one cycle of anulom vilom.
Repeat this cycle for 15 to 30 minutes twice a day.
Children under 15 years - do 5 to 10 minutes twice a day.
You can do this before breakfast/lunch/dinner or before bedtime or in bed.Remember to take deep long breaths into the lungs.You can do this while sitting on floor or chair or lying in bed.

Also everyday, press the centre point of the palm of both your hands 40 times with the thumb and press the tips of all fingers 40 times each.
To stimulate the pancreas to produce insulin: mandukasan - kneel down(with feet pointing inwards,and sit on the ankles/heels, Vajrasan position), breathe in and breathe out completely and hold your breath, pull the stomach in, press both your hands on stomach, bend forward as much as possible keeping the head straight, hold for 5 to 15 seconds and come back up while breathing in. Repeat this 3 times daily to stimulate the kidney and pancreas.Mandukasan2 - Repeat the whole process,but this time with with fists of both hands pressing against the stomach.Mandukasan can be done sitting on a chair, if you cannot bend the legs.
Continue the breathing exercises once a day, after the diabetes is in full control.  (+ info)

What would happen if someone with epilepsy was bitten by a deadly venomous snake or spider?


Would the symptoms or affects be different? If they did not noticed the bite, could the affects resemble symptoms of their epilepsy?
----------

I think the only difference would be the stress on the body from the bite could cause the person to have a seizure.  (+ info)

hi there! My son is 3yrd old and has asd, autistic spectrum disorder.

I have several things for him

I have a big tupperware item filled with beans ( uncooked ) and I hide farm animals in them so he has to put his hands into the beans to find his animals


I also have a rice one as well. Yes they can make a mess but its fun

Also bath foam from walmart, put a little bit on a paper plate or mat and let them put their hands in it to paint with.

I have a book also where I make things, its a book the professionals at TEACHH here in NC use. If you would like the name of it, email me!

There's lots of stuff I do with him, playdoh, cooked noodels in a container ( this one we are working on still,lol )

Can epilepsy cause someone to withdraw from intimate contact?


My friend has has epilepsy since childhood. A few years ago he suffered a Grand mal seizure. He is now in his late 40's. Is it possible that this has caused him to withdraw from any intimate contact or any display of affection?
----------

Not sure. I would say the epilepsy, itself, is not causing that, but after all these years could have been detrimental to his self-esteem, embarrassing, not to mention extremely worrisome and scary.

It seems I once read that epileptics are more prone to depression, and that's what this could be.  (+ info)
