    Hi there my name is Gillian and I have recently been diagnosed with epilepsy ( how did as a kid but it went away and came back 23 years later) I have just started a ketogenic diet and so far it seems to be going well certainly shed a few pounds which I could afford to :-) but really hoping it will have an impact on my seizure frequency are you trying this too? I am looking to friend a couple of people who are also on the ketogenic diet so we can exchange recipes and keep each other supported through what is sometimes a very difficult time. Let me know if you are interested. :-)

    I don't have epilepsy but I do have a brain injury and vision loss from a tumor resection. My brain injury support group leader told me weight gain is common with such people. Although I certainly don't blame my injury for my weight, my weight just exploded after it happened.
