Hoping your weeks get better.
Just curious - have you researched at all about the keto/carnivore diet, in relation to seizures? It was the only treatment for epilepsy more than 100 years ago.
I don't know much about keto in relation to seizures/epilepsy personally, but I just listened to a podcast with a woman whose child had epilepsy. She was told to put her child on all kinds of different drugs, with many different side effects.
She found keto (or maybe it was carnivore) through online groups, it was very effective for her child, and she was very angry at the doctors for not telling her about this treatment.
Hmm I have not heard about those diets being helpful in treatment but I will have to look into it! How we fuel our bodies is such a critical thing that most people never think about. If you only eat crap you are going to feel like and operate like something that has done that. Eating healthier and fueling your body correctly is a huge thing!

Here's a couple links for you. I've been listening to carnivore podcasts for a while, and they're frequently interviewing people who've improved/cured their seizures with carnivore/keto.
