    • About Me

      I live just outside Dublin in Ireland. I am the youngest in my family and I have 2 older brothers and no sisters. I have 2 nieces and 1 nephew. I had my first seizure at the age of 11 months and my second at 13 months. It wasn't till I was 4 yrs old that the doctors diagnosed me with having Peti mal epilepsy. I had Brain surgery on the 4th January 2007 and I have been seizure free since my surgery. :-)

    • Close Epilepsy & Seizures

      My name is Miriad. I am 27. I am from Ireland. I have had Epilepsy since I was 11 months. I had a Temporal Lobe Hippocampectomy in January 2007 and I have been seizure free ever since. I got sick of constantly having seizures and being on medication which wasn't helping at all. My Seizures were getting worse so I decided to do something about it.

    • Close Colds & Flu

      Lately I seem to get colds very easily. The last cold I had to take Antibiotics to shit it as I had it longer than a week. I think my immune system is down.

      Treatments

      Vicks VapoRub Working / Worked
      Works nearly ever time. I rub it into my back and chest. No side effects
      Vitamin C Somewhat Helpful
      It does help my cold. But it does not shift it totally without paracetamol.
