Goes a long way, as a person with a severe seizure disorder, and as a person who just had a 5 year old child placed into a medical coma to ease suffering after 9 months of 24/7 seizures. (He has been placed in the coma to die without further pain) had this device been available a year ago...
For myself generally a massive control environment, actions and medication helps for the child we had tried everything from placing electrodes into his brain in an attempt to restart the seized areas of his brain to blood cooling etc..
as from the comments I have read the vast majority of the posters are both clueless and well as rude morbid and downright pathetically uneducated let me assist you with at least a simple explanation of a seizure.
like the base work seize, a seizure is caused from any single area or center of you brain stops (i.e. seizes) this causes a mass firing of nerves often this mass firing, often thought to be caused from the back up from the stopped area, spreads to other areas of the brain causing an over load and causing the other areas to seize from such a mass firing as this spreads (when it continues) or if it gets to an area controlling a motor function the pat of the body no longer receiving a signal from the stopped center of the brain twitches as both muscle and opposing muscle try to contract simultaneously if the affected center of the brain that is stopped does not restart the process spreads as it effects many motor control sections you see a grand mal seizure often micro seizures occur in almost everyone that are too short or never spreading to a motor control area to be noticed a seizure is NOT only from epilepsy. If I sound a little upset I am sorry I am at reading multiple postings that are rude crude as well as disrespectful for things they have no knowledge of!
if the cooler is recommended to me from my neurologist you bet I would get it.
would be worth the peace of mind as well as the savings of over $3200 worth of medications I take each month for life.
I promise you my insurance would love it also!
