A recipient of emergency neurosurgery in the late summer of
91' to have a bloodclot removed. I have many outstanding side-effects.
A new found detrument as a result of my accident/surgery are chronic
seizures. I have been tested repeatedly for epilepsy; however the
results show no sign of this to be the case. My neurologist indicates
that the seizures are brought on by scar-tissue build-up, which
interferes with firing neurons. The neurologist recommended 300mg of
dilantin daily. The dilantin is a terrible substitute for what-ever it
is that my body is lacking. I would like a more user friendly drug. Can
somebody recommend a less traumatic alternative? One other thing; Is
dilantin produced naturally in the body? And if so ; where?
