Nathan was started on a diet for Seizure control...Ketogenic Diet. He had his last grand mal seizure the 3 day on the diet. His muscle and drop seizures ended 2 months later completely, but we noticed they were less harsh with each one he had til they just stopped." - excerpt from KetoGenic Diet for Seizures.
my brother and his daughter both have epilepsy and that was one of the things they would do when they were having a small seizure. from my understanding of EEG do not so seizure unless you are having one at that time. my neice had the first eeg come back normal the second so seizures and a third normal and just got back from a 4 day stay at children's hospital in ar where they watched and monitored her 24 hours a day and she was having seizures.
His 1st seizure was just a jerk to the right leg and his eyes were fixed to the side and was not responding. Took him to the E.R and they dismissed him after doing general blood tests. 1 hour after I got home he had a Tonic Clonic seizure and turned blue. I called 911. They look him to Children Hospital in St. Paul. They put him the Epilepsy Unit and did an EEG. They found 5 other Myclonic seizures in his sleep. MRI looked fine and all blood tests came back fine.
My wife has the following since a car wreck, severe neck pain, numbness in both hands, headache, metal taste in mouth, some Aphasia, Flat effect, and partial paralysis, can feel touch but loses the ability to move hands and feet at times. We have been diagnosed with some partial seizure activity i.e. electrical system in brain not working, had 4 MRI of Brain, CT, C-Spine of Neck ( 3 bulging disc), Echo w/wout bubbles, halter etc.
In July 2005 I was injured in a car bombing that besides shrapnel wounds suffered a TBI w/ loss of contiousness. Not until 3 years later did I have my first nocturnal seizure (for what I know). They last only 10-15 seconds and are tonic clonic in nature. Went through nemerous tests and the only thing that was abnormal was my EEG showing spikes in the left temperal region. My CT scan along with my MRI was normal.
Hi and welcome,
Your question has come up in the MS community forum but IF you are not diagnosed with a medical condition that causes inappropriate laughing and or have just started experiencing this specific symptom..... please contact your doctor!
That is very interesting. It said it can cause seizures. I wonder if it puts one into seizure during the procedure? I'd imagine not, since you don't have to be asleep to get it. Also, do we know if it affects the memory?
I wonder what constitutes a 'research hospital', that TMS's are performed at. I don't think it's FDA approved yet, unless I misunderstood the information.
I had one brain bleed - thought possible tumor however on its own it dissolved and now have scar tissue. This is in same part of brain where I have temporal lobe seizures (seizure free for 20 years). I have developing muscle weakness, overly exhausted consistently or insomnia (never in the middle), always suffered complex migraines, no depression - basically these symptoms make it difficult to work full time.
my parents had been to the vet and when I got home I sat with him while he suffered 4 more seizures I decided that I could not see him suffer and we went to vet and tio got the jag to sleep as u can imagine has been upsetting. my question is I found out when he took the first seizure When I was home with himhe struggled to do a poo outside and it looked strange.
I don't think people who have a seizure remember the seizure, but he definitely had something. Maybe it's a thyroid problem. He needs to be seen, but an ER is the slowest, most expensive and least efficient way to do it.
It does still fit the description of a seizure. Not all seizures involve paddling, slobbering and loss of bladder control. Those are basically what are considered to be grand mal seizures. Petite mal seizures can be anything from a twitching of the head to a state of catatonia for a brief time, which sounds more or less like what your girl had.
Please let us know what the vet says when you do get to take her in.
Good luck to you!

Hello.
You have done a good job by bringing this to the forum. There is a possibility of a partial seizure. But you should also consider something called as eye tics. These are not so uncommon in infants.
You may need to get an EEG done. A video EEG is preferred. It has the advantage of letting us see the brain waves during such an episode or up rolling of eyes.
Did he have any significant birth complications?
