That is interesting, but I don't think that it is my problem.
Years ago, I rarely ever ate breakfast, but I still had seizures.
There are things that can aggravate seizures, but I don't think
that my eating habbits are my problem.  I have a pretty good idea
what is causing a good many of them, but I don't want to go in to
it here.  I wish I could reduce the medication that I'm taking now,
because I think that it's what's causing my memory loss.  For
example, I never used to have to write down phone numbers, but
unless it's a number I dial all the time, there's no way I'll
remember it.  I can read a good book, but a month later, if you ask
me about it, I can't tell you very much about it, except that I
enjoyed it.  The strange thing is that I can remember phone numbers
ETC. that I knew years ago and haven't thought about since I was a
kid, but give me a phone number or address ETC. and if I don't
write it down, I'll forget it by the next day.  I'm pretty sure
that it's the medicine.
