Doctors no matter how much they make or how much school they have, they're are only human and practicing medicine.No man can know all things.Go by what your body tells you. You've had it your whole life.We are all a bit different and that is a good thing.

There are many ways to trigger our seizures. Stres , anxiety, lack of sleep, caffeine, if your sick or have a cold , if you have photosensitivity ( lights, flashing light or disco ball, tv, and computer ), and many other things can trigger our seizures.

Ok here is my thoughts on this. Take it or leave it. Each person is different and what affects one person will not affect another. And doctors are only people doing the best they can"we hope" with what they know, so therefore they are only" practicing medicine".God is The Healer and works through people.
