I know there were a couple who posted on the GS/CD board who had been dx'd with pyroluria, but I'm struggling to remember who they both were. I have an idea, but can't quite remember...

The above, is a posting by jcc. This is a VERY interesting interview, about PYROLURIA as an underlying cause for SEIZURES and BIPOLAR DISORDER, with Dr. Bonnet. I really enjoyed reading the interview!
When I was 18 months old, I was diagnosed with Right Mesial Temporal Lobe Epilepsy. My seizures were never under control with Anti-Epileptic Drugs, they were just less severe.
Then, when I was 21 yrs of age, I was diagnosed as having a Rapid Cycling Bipolar Disorder. Still, my symptoms were not controlled with anti-depressents and Anti-Epileptic Drugs. So, I continued my quest to find the answers to gaining "control" of day-to-day living.
It wasn't until last year, when I was 28 yrs of age, did I finally get the proper diagnosis. . . PYROLURIA - a severe vitamin deficiency of vitamins B6, Zinc, and Aracadonic Acid (an Omega-6 Essential Fatty Acid).
Now, my seizures & manic-depression are completely under control.
I have eliminated several food allergens from my diet:
All Grains
Sweeteners
Food Dyes
& Alcohols
I make sure I eat pleanty of:
Potatoes
Vegetables
Fruits
Meat (Eggs, Beef, Chicken, Turkey, Clams)
Juices
Water
I also strictly adhere to a program of prescribed dosages of Vitamins, along with prescription Anti-Epileptic, Anti-Psychotic, and Anti-Depressent drugs.
As long as I stick to "THE PROGRAM". . . I feel great!
No seizures, crying-spells, insomnia, mania, depression, OCD, memory loss, isolating myself from the world, excessive talking on the phone, panic attacks, canceling my appointments for the day, the list used to go on and on. . ."I can drive, now, too!"
Take a look at the posibility of PYROLURIA as a root-cause of BIPOLAR, amongst other medical conditions, as well. I'm sure glad I did.
After only 3 months of adhering to THE PROGRAM, that was specialized for my Biochemistry, my long list of medical "symptoms" were being managed with a problem. :D
