These results suggest that zinc may have a preventive effect on the development of seizures in theEl mouse, and hippocampal zinc may play an important role in the pathophysiology of convulsive seizures of epilepsy. i must say that at my most brain-damaged point, it was definitely a zinc issue. wond...

That's what I would have assumed, but there's a few articles I've come across of FLE presenting as OSA:

Probably going to follow up most of the vitamin blood tests again given the time since the last round, but I'll have to get a full rundown of what the Dr is thinking when I see him next Thursday. One thing that came up today which I'm interested in seeing if we can eliminate as a possibility is fron...

Finally had my first MRI (Multiplanar multiecho MRI of the brain without contrast) and got the results back. As expected there wasn't much to it: A large trans medullary developmental venous anomaly is noted in the left frontal lobe which is a variant of normal venous drainage of the brain. There is...

Currently I see a personal trainer twice a week to maintain strength. I have largely been avoiding taking multi-vitamins until I nail...

I'm a 33 y/o male, until recently a competitive distance runner and in pretty good shape. I've been trying to stay sane over the last year whilst a bunch of symptoms have piled up: ext...
