Common Questions and Answers about Seizure disorders classroom
seizure
m sure this is likely a fluke, but as I was teaching class last week, my eyes locked in a double vision format. I quietly slipped out of the classroom (we were analyzing a movie) and I noticed the double vision increasing.
I kept feeling faint -- and certainly didn't wish to alarm anyone, so I managed to make it to a colleagues office and had him call 911.
By the time security and the ambulance arrived, the episode past and I felt foolish.
There is no simple, definitive test for a seizure disorder. Often, seizure disorders are diagnosed based on patient history and observation of a seizure. If your daughter had a seizure lasting 30 min., that would qualify for a diagnosis in the minds of many clinicians. I'm sure you'll follow up with the diagnosing doctors and others as necessary. I hope the seizure turns out to be a one-time event.
Meaning that if an EEG is done during an attack (such as the convulsion you describe above) and the EEG shows the seizure in the brain waves, then the seizure can be confirmed. In other people, convulsions occur but these are due to stress and not true seizures coming from epileptic activity in the brain, in which case the EEG will not show epileptic activity during the convulsion.
HI,
An epileptic cannot have both a complex partial seizure disorder and a generalized seizure disroder. People with a generalized seizure disorder are usually born with it, while people with partial or complex partial get it sometime during thier life. Generlaized seizures occurr over the entire brain, while complex partial only occurr in a section of the brain.
I have complex partial seizures that occurr in my right temporal lobe. They started from a head injury I got when I was three.
(Currently available) antipsychotics can cause permenant movement disorder such as tardive dyskinesia. However, they must wait a period of time for withdrawl dyskineis to pass. From my knowledge atypical antipsychotics can increase the seizure threshold but this effect is generally not permanent. It would be best to see a neurologist who is a movement disorders specialist and have them do full follow up including an EEG (the specific kind to try to set off seizures) and an MRI.
I would definitely take her to the vet, although not necessarily to have her put down. I would let the vet examine her to see what he/she thinks the problem could be and take it from there. Seizure disorders can be managed medically, it's not necessarily the end of the line just because she had a seizure. I would, however, definitely get the vet involved.
Also sometimes during class he will make noises and will nto stop when the teacher asks. One day he went out of the classroom and opened the door where they keep the fire extinguisher, when you open that door, the glass smashes.
Anyway, yesterday he had a playdate with a boy who has a mild form of autism, they really played together well nad he said he had speech delays like him. My son did not learn to talk until after 3 years of age.
I think he needs to see a counselor, and you need to have a close communication with the teacher and principal. If he's vomiting within the classroom, it needs to be addressed.
I don't think schools should have to deal with a child who vomits in the classroom - that's on the parents and the family to correct.
A year ago I was sitting in a unit test, the classroom was pretty quiet, all of a sudden I had this fear gripping me when i noticed how quiet the room was, this made me panic, my heart rate was up, I was sweating, labored breathing, barely able to concentrate on the paper. I rustled the pages just to make some noise. All in all quite distressing. I asked to go to the loo and was told to take my stuff with me, so I did.
I left the building and didn't go back to the classroom.
Conversion disorders are disorders in which the patient suffers from symptoms of diseases that he does not actually have. The symptoms of a pseudoseizure are almost same as those of an epileptic seizure, but their origin is psychological, not neurological. One of the characteristic differentiating feature of an epileptic seizure is that there is an abnormal discharge of electricity from the brain during the seizure whereas there is no such electrical discharge during a pseudoseizure.
I have a grade five student who doesn't want to go inside the classroom. When i talked to her, she's always saying that she missed he "grandma", "i want grandma here", "i don't want mama to go", "i want to spend time with mama" and the likes. it seems that she is very much attached with her grandma. Though she is aware of the consequencies of here actions, she still chooses not to go inside the classroom.
Hello and welcome!
In adults the choice of an antiepileptic drug depends on several factors like type of seizure, associated medical disorders and use of any medications etc.Dilantin,carbamezapine,valproate can be used in temporal lobe seizures.Topamax,keppra,lamotrigine can be used as add on drugs with medications mentioned above.Dilantin doesn’t cause depression but can cause decrease in renal function,headache,dizziness,confusion,double vision etc.
In support of ADHD, however, these medications for children with ADHD without seizure disorders are a Godsend if diet changes and behavior modifications do not help. The right medication has to be found for each individual child just like other disorders. ADHD is neural disorder just as seizure disorders. Both affect the brain but in different ways. With ADHD there in not enough neural activity in the frontal cortex; but with seizures there is too much neural activiy all over the brain.
I dont have money to get meds i need every month or to see a doctor wat should do i cant get help no medicaid or care or disiabilty i just feel like buying a gun and killing myself i have a seizure like three to for times a month i am at my end i hope god will stil love me if i shoot myself
There are several conditions which can mimic seizures like a syncope, parasomnias, and movement disorders. There is a condition called psychogenic nonepileptic seizure (PNES) in which there are sudden and time-limited disturbances of motor, sensory, autonomic, cognitive, and/or emotional functions, these are psychogenically determined. Other conditions mimicking seizures are conversion disorder, panic attacks and migraine attacks.
My 16 yr old daughter was taken to the doctors 12 days ago due to dizzyness, weakness & three strange lumps (1 on her index finger, 1 on back of thigh, 1 near ribcage; lumps do not hurt and do not seem to be "attached" to muscles and cause no pain). Doc said she probably had a virus. 3 days ago she had a seizure like a granmal. 1st one she's ever had. Blood tests were unremarklable however a CT and MRI showed lesions on her frontal lobe.
