My LV continues to be in remission. My sledding injury is almost completely healed. My seizures continue 4-6 daily.

Hi Charley, I am so sorry to hear of all the complications you are having. It seems so overwhelming I don't know what to say. I did see a E!Investation program yesterday that I felt sounded just like you. It was of a women who was on very powerful and strong pain killers and needed to get off (or wanted to) and because of this she was getting seizures. They recommended to her a process called "Rapid Detox" to get her off her drugs with little or no side effects to her system. I Googled Rapid Detox and it was very interesting on what they had to say. Now I don't know the specifics of any of this but maybe this can help you. Just though of you and wanted to pass this along.

Thanks for your thoughts, Linda.

I had already greatly reduced if not eliminated my use of Morphine (MS Contin) by the time my seizures started. I had been taking 150 mg daily and had reduced to 60 mg by Nov 20, and had been decreasing steadily since then. I don't know exactly when I was completely off but it would have been around the time my seizures started on Dec 2.

The E! investigation does sound interesting and I will try and see if I can find it online somewhere to see.

Thanks again,

Charlie
