can i drink my vitamin water as a substitute for a UTI?
This cranberry is so nasty and so is tap water everytime I drink it I feel like I'm going to throw up. The meds I'm on cause nausea so the cranberry and nasty water makes it worse. I love vitamin water and it's after all water so can I substitute that instead? Or sparkling water?
Has anyone found a vitamin regimen that works for your seizures?
My boyfriend has epilepsy and the Keppra and Lamictal do not work so great. He frequently has moments of complete scatterbrainness. I think that to control these little breakthrough moments, he needs to find vitamins.
Open to any and all alternative ideas and treatments. Done with western medicine.
In response to AngryDoc - I work for a pharmaceutical company, so trust me, I realize that some meds have a lot of benefits, but as I'm sure anyone with Epilepsy can say, getting pushed through the medical system, going to Mayo and the University of Chicago and the University of Iowa, and getting NO results can be irritating.
My boyfriend is an amazing person, and on top of everything else, he is willing to have a job and not spend taxpayers dollars on disability. Instead, he goes to work and often has to leave early because he can't hold a clear thought.
We realize that vitamins are not a cure. But, things do help, his current neurologist has even suggested alternative therapies.
This is why we are DONE with Western medicine, because of the complete arrogance by the people who don't care about anyone or anything other than their wallets. Pushing chemicals through your body and ruining your internal organs is not the way to go.
