Would anyone in the medical field be able to tell me why sometimes I have seizures if I have too much protein and not enough carbs? I've had seizures for as long as I can remember but now it seems to be related to eating protein. Now I thought protein was good for me. ANd the frustrating thing is it doesn't happen all the time. Any comments?

    see a doctor. There are some links of seizures to excess protein especially if dehydrated. But stop fooling around asking for inexpert advice about a life threatening issue. GO SEE A DOCTOR.

    You need some labs drawn and interventions greater then words can give. You may need some medication. I understand not having money but an office visit vs hospital stay and possible brain damage is more costly. I say these words out of kindness and compassion. God Bless you.

    you can't afford being dead, either. Hospitals (at least in the US) have to treat you in the ER if you have life threatening issue and seizures are life threatening. Plus, most hospitals have processes to offset costs for patients who can't pay. AND if you can't pay, it's probably covered by medicare/medicaid.

    Seriously, seizures are extremely dangerous and going untreated is a good path to the other side.

    I hope you can get it sorted. It must be extremely worrying for you and I echo what everybody else has said.
    Take care x
