Avatar m tn After the seizure I am unable to use the left side of my body as well as the right and this last time i had partial paralysis in the left side of my face and issues walking. I have before been paralysed from the waste down for 3 months and many times been forced to wrk with a walker bc my left side is not fully opperational. Is there anything that you can tell me to ask my doctors to check for or any advice that you can give me. Please I just want to live a normal life again.
Avatar m tn 30 pm and I was playing a game called Unreal Tournament when it happened. First, I felt my left hand start to shake violently, then my right shortly after, I wanted to call for help, but couldn't...and that's when the panic kicked it. I felt myself slowly falling off of the chair and can't remember anything from that point, until about 12:00 am. I felt confused and scared and felt as if I was going to die. My mom and bro called the EMTs and I was taken to the hospital.
Avatar f tn I am not aware of any link between seizure disorders and CM but we do have members who have experienced seizure like symptoms, many suffer "drop attacks" a fainting like episode where you drop to the ground but you are fully aware but have no control over movement etc. Yes you need to see a NS, not just any NS but one who deals with CM as the major part of their practice. Surgery is not a cure, the goals of surgery are to improve quality of life by relieving symptoms.

473378 tn?1207597956 friday night my daughter was sleeping downstairs on the floor (she is 17, the was around 2am) she got a call from her brother telling her to opening the front door and let him and his friend in. She woke up again when they got there and she talked to them briefly and she went back to sleep. Her brother and friend went to sleep downstairs also and they woke up to her making choking sounds.
Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar f tn When you arrive on the web page, look to your left, and there are blue bars, and one says Kidney Diseases. Click on the bar, and you will arrive at a web page with just information on kidney disorders and diseases. Return to the first web page and click on digestion, and you will see a link for digestion and there is a page for just digestive disorders and diseases. The national website is for both digestion and kidney information. Go to http://digestive.niddk.nih.gov. Good luck.
Avatar f tn when i FINALLY got an after hours vet on the phone the advise was that it was probably a seizure and to give her 1/4 of a motrin. does this sound correct and what would cause a seizure in a perfectly healthy dog ?
Avatar n tn (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.

Avatar f tn Many times I will wake up at 4 or so in the morning to vomit. The doctors seems to be at a loss as to what is causing the problems. Does anyone have any ideas?
Avatar m tn 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.
2030686 tn?1351688548 I remember the gastro saying I needed to be seizure free for so long b4 I can tx. Does anybody know why this is? Will the medications lower my seizure threshold even more? My reg dr put in a call to the neuro after I had a few seizures this weekend and she put me on Keppra.

Avatar f tn , you can find several really good articles about syncope and similar disorders, and find information on the different testing options. As well, www.stars_us.org also has some really good links and information you can print of to take to your doctor, as well as sheets on how to describe your symptoms and what to ask during your appointment. I hope you figure out answers soon. I know how scary it is to still be in that stage where you are searching.
Avatar n tn Elevated WBC or leukocytosis may be caused by several conditions including bacterial infection, inflammation, leukemia, lymphoma, trauma, use of certain drugs (steroids, antiseizure medications), myeloproliferative disorders of the bone marrow (chronic myelogenous leukemia, polycythemia vera, myelofibrosis, essential thrombocythemia), inflammatory bowel disorders (Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis), burns or stress (physical or emotional).
Avatar m tn She is a spayed 1and1/2 yr.old mix breed. She's currently on pheno-barb 2x daily. Still having occasional seizures, which seem to run in streaks. She'll have several over a few days, then goes several wks or more without. I cannot afford to sent her for an MRI. Do you have any suggestions. I've heard (read) cats w/ seizure disorders tend to have much shorter life-spans? Is there anything else I could be doing for her? Thank you for your time. She is much loved!
Avatar n tn I am not familiar with Depakote, other than it is used as an anti-seizure med. Clonopin does help with the w/d process. Look at the Thomas Recipe in the Health Pages on the right side of page.
Avatar f tn ) However, since there has been a seizure and an abnormal EEG, the risk for another seizure is a bit higher than if the EEG had been normal. You'll want to monitor your daughter carefully with it in the back of your mind. She may very well never have another seizure in her life! But she may have one, and you'll want to be prepared mentally for this.
408795 tn?1324935675 Treatment with interferons may be associated with exacerbated symptoms of psychiatric disorders in patients with co-occurring psychiatric and substance use disorders. If treatment with interferons is initiated in patients with prior history or existence of psychiatric condition or with a history of substance use disorders, treatment considerations should include the need for drug screening and periodic health evaluation, including psychiatric symptom monitoring.
