I've had epilepsy for eight years, but wanted to reduce, or even stop, the chemicals I was prescribed. When I was a child, my grandmother used to give me homeopathy for basic ailments (she'd give me Arnica when I fell and banged my head, Belladonna when I had fever, or Nux Vomica when I had digestion problems). I then kept using homeopathy for sore throat and colds, and other ailments. When I was said a homeopath could help me with my epilepsy, I didn't hesitate before going to see him.

Since I've been taking homeopathy, I've been able to reduce my chemical treatment for epilepsy, very gradually. I now take half of the dose I was prescribed by my neurologist. Since then, I've had much less seisures, and now, when it happens, I don't need to rest for a long time to be well again, as I used to do. Moreover, I can concentrate much better on any studies or work I'm doing, for I no longer have the impression my brain is rolled in a wollen sheet, or surrounded by fog, which is one of the side effects of the chemicals I'm taking. The other benefit I drew from reducing my chemicals is that I fall asleep much less during daytime. It was very annoying to miss half of a lesson, at school or college, because I was asleep, and couldn't struggle against this drowsiness. I now hope, one day, I'll be able to stop taking the chemicals, and only keep taking the homeopathic remedy I was presccribed.
