Dear Group:

Some people who have epilepsy and are taking medication may
experience memory recall difficulty. I know for sure I did. I had
my memory medically tested four times during a five-year period of
time. What I did not know at the time was that the memory problems
were not caused by my being epileptic. They were caused by the
medication I was taking to control gran mal seizures.

Although there are some epileptic treatment centers which specialize
in reducing the need for medication in bringing an epileptic
condition under better control - such as Andrews-Reiter - not
everyone has the option of becoming completely drug-free. No doubt,
that is a worthwhile pursuit. If a person is able to bring a seizure
disorder under better control without drugs, why remain on them? For
that reason alone, it is very important to know what your options are
for improved healthcare.

But, back to your memory recall ability. In some ways, your brain is
like a muscle. It benefits from exercise. In fact, it is possible
to re-educate your own brain. I experienced this myself via a neuro-
physical assessment - a precursor to EEG Biofeedfack or
neurofeedback. Light, sound and magnetism all play a part. Beleive
it or not, our brain responds to the stimulation they provide. The
result can be the building of new neuro-pathways in the brain.

Want proof? Then, I suggest you go play a little memory game which
is available online for free. But first, make sure you upgrade your
Internet Explorer browser (which is recommended for playing the game).
Then, go to www.scala.com/channels/index.com. After that, click on
Channel #57 and play the game. If you play the game numerous times
and improve your score, you are likely building new neuro-pathways in
your brain. And, that's a good thing.

Good luck.
