Chestnuts roasting on an open fire,
Jack Frost nipping on your nose,
Yuletide carols being sung by a choir,
And folks dressed up like Eskimos.

Everybody knows a turkey and some mistletoe,
Help to make the season bright.
Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow,
Will find it hard to sleep tonight.

They know that Santa's on his way;
He's loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh.
And every mother's child is going to spy,
To see if reindeer really know how to fly.

And so I'm offering this simple phrase,
To kids from one to ninety-two,
Although its been said many times, many ways,
A very Merry Christmas to you

Is there any proven evidence of a link between epilepsy and
addictive behaviour?

I'm referring to ANY form of addiction - recreational drugs,
smoking, drinking, gambling, adrenaline sports...

Hello,

I am a 41 year old with Complex Partial Epilepsy and many other
ailments too, but I shan't put them here as I don'nt want to bore
people with it, but what I want to ask or say is that I have my own
forums, and wonder if they might be of use to anyone looking for
support and to make friends with like-minded people, I have areas for
general chat and areas for relaxing in about various topics, if you
like the sound of it then why not visit us here:

http://www.healthanddisabilities.web44.net/smf_1-1-5/index.php

I don't intend to force anyone or anything like that its just that I
want to offer people with all manner of disabilities a place where
they can chat to others in the same boat so to speak.

I realise that not everyone would like it, but the offer is there.

I was born via a vacuum extraction and it caused brain damage which
brought about my problems, many other factors contributed to them
though and if you paid us a visit you would be able to read more, but
this is a condensed version of what I have to give you an idea about
myself, and that I am 100%% genuine and not simply here to send you to
a dodgy website :-)

2008 July 08. Hugo’s story. I am just 7 years old and a boy. On the
24th May 2008 I was at home with a friend when all of a sudden I had
this sharp headache which lasted just a moment. Later I had another
one. the next day I had a couple more and gradually they have
increased in severity and also in number; for instance today I have
had somewhere between 80 and a hundred separate headaches. They are
not always the same. Sometimes they are like a stab; they last for
maybe a second or two and mostly will be like somebody has tapped six
times or so quickly in my head. Other times, occasionally they are
like someone stretched my brain and sometimes I will get it over my
right eyebrow, though 99%% they are on the side of my head towards the
front, but always it only lasts for a second or two. My dad feels that
it has often started with activity. Usually 10 minutes after I get up
in the morning and I start moving around I will get the first one.
Maybe we go out and play ball and I will start getting them again.
Other times we might be home just reading and I will get them. They
have never interrupted my sleep. We just can’t nail down any exact
cause and affect situation. Coincidentally I started to have night
time nasal stuffiness and one Dr thinks that this could be the cause
and prescribed ‘Beconase nose spray’ which I use at bedtime. Helps my ...

I have a 7yr old daughter who was diagnosed in january with absence
epilepsy. she went for an eeg and the results of this are that she has
absence epilepsy with photosensitivity. our consultant told us this is
not typical of childhood absence epilepsy. therefore the response to
therapy may not be as good as for typical childhood absence epilepsy.
I would like to hear of anyone who has heard or has contact with this
form of epilepsy. as i feel like we are up against a brick wall,with
hardly anyone to talk to about it.

It's hard knowing just where to start with this message, so I guess I
will just jump straight to the point. I had my first seizure back in
1983 at about 4.00am. I woke to find my neck twitching, and a
sensation of my body loosing grip of what is up, and what is down.
Sort of like going into freefall, whilst yet lying in bed. That was
followed by the rest of my lower body beginning to jerk, at which
point I lost consciousness.
After a trip to the hospital, and a chat with my G.P, it was
determined that I had a form of nocturnal Epilepsy, and was prescribed
a nightly dose of Epanutin to deal with the problem.
Initially, the meds worked well, and I was able to continue living a
“normal” existence. However, over time the sensation of freefalling
started returning and it took a visit to my Neurologist for him to up
the dosage and free me of these unusual seizures.
Now that is the easy part.. the fun starts when I have yet another one
of these seizures, where I find myself turning my upper body to the
right, whilst my eyes try to lock onto something that will give me
back my equilibrium. The problem this time is I am not in bed as
usual, but standing in my works canteen. Needless to say it didn’t go
unnoticed, and I had to go on the sick while my doctor sorted my ...
