My little cousin, in her 20s, suddenly started having seizures out of the blue a few months ago. MRIs and EEGs and sleep studies all completely normal. I asked them to test her for Lyme and it just came back positive. Now they are sending her to an ID specialist. What are the closest LLMDs near Tennessee???

Thank you so much! I'm just glad I knew to tell her to get tested to begin with! No idea how long she has had it but I am thinking it was from our last campout in Arkansas this past summer.

- Sure hope she can get to an LLMD soon. I'm so sorry to hear this. Glad she has you to help guide her.
Suggestions above may help along the way, especially with MAGNESIUM - and avoiding certain food additives like aspartame (that, alone, can cause seizures especially in those with lyme).
She might also avoid Fluorescent lights (and energy saving bulbs) of all kinds, as much as possible. They can trigger seizures. -
