Hyponatremia-low Sodium

Hi,
My name is Derek. In the summer of 2014 I had a grand mall, 2 1/2 min long and almost bit 2 big chunks out of my toung. Not fun coming too and you're totally out and surrounded by a group of dudes you've never seen before. I was 50 and the hos stay of 3 days was chalked up too alcohol withdrawal. Funny thing is my sodium was low but that was ignored, these seizures have continued and it's now June of 2017. Approx. 9 911 calls and ambulance rides wit about 5 weeks combined in various hospitals no one in Casper Wy. Has been able to tell me what is going on. I still struggle with my sodium level. A few weeks back I totally quit the seizure medication I was being treated with. I haven't had any other seizures since. It's July now. A neurologist said I have a low tolerance for seizures and need to be very careful with any medications I take. It seems like 99% of the medications I have taken throughout this lifetime have given me adverse and allergic reactions.
I'm wondering if this rings a bell for anybody else? Wondering as well if it does or not have you or any one heard of anything herbally to help. I do know maurajauna works for me but this state is backwards and it's illegal and therefore hard to acquire here. I am planning on on moving and among many other things this is one of my main reasons for it.
Any anysights or similar experiences would be appreciated.
Thanks

Hyponatremia itself can cause seizures, according to NIH reports. Thus, rectifying that issue might be the best way to stop them from occurring, again.

Where you checked for dehydration, or anything else, after the seizures occurred? Have you tried upping your sodium intake via foods or fluids? How often is your doctor checking your levels?
