have you heard of anybody having seizures, and then not to have them anymore? Is having seizures going to affect the rest of my life? I got my seizures after having viral menigites

I also had seizures and my neuroloog told my i had epilepsy and i had to take a lot of pills.
Then 7 Years later i found out i wasn't an epileptic but i was allergic to wheat!!!!
I took those pills and i got fat for nothing!
Maybe this isn't the case for you but i read a lot and i found out that some foods can make it worse.
Maybe you can find out if or what kind of food has a bad effect on you.

My son had seizures due to bacterial menigitis. It left blood clots on his brain. Once the blood clots disolved after about 5 years he was taken off seizure meds and has been seizure free since 1988.
I used to have grand mals and complex partial seizures. About 30 small ones a day. I was allergic to almost everything on the market at the time for seizure preventatives so I just suffered through the seizures. Then one day in 1993 I just quit having seizures for some reason. I had had seizures for 28 years then all of a sudden they just quit and I haven't had any in over 10 years now. I am on no meds.
