My disorder is called Simple-Partial seizures with Aura. The symptoms are much like those of a severe panic attack only panic attacks don't have the Aura. The aura is where you start feeling REALLY weird like your going to go crazy, feel like your going to die right before you seizure, limbs with pins and needles, numbness, especially in my lips/face, headache, my muscles will burn, freezing, profuse sweating, and this could last all day before I have a seizure in the evening.
complex partials all of my life but at an older age I statred having grand mals as well. In regards to video games and computers it all depends on what triggers the seizures. I am unable to stay exposed to video games and computer screens for long time periods due to the bright, counter-connecting waves which for unexplained reasons trigger my seizures. Once again, that's something to discuss with your doctor. I would suggest observing your seizure activity while on the computer.

When I was younger my brother had gotten me into video games, I didn't have any money at the time so I was playing flash games (games on a website that are not too complex, usually 2D) and there was one that I really enjoyed playing, but after about thirty minutes of playing my vision went out of focus and it felt like my brain was jumping around in my skull.
Good morning or good evening to everyone ! So I am epileptic (not photosensitive), I am under a treatment (I didn't do a seizure for more than a year), and my doctor prohibited video games, but I want to know why and if I can still do animations using Garry's mod (a tool that looks like a game but that I wouldn't really call a game, it looks like this : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aM2MA6xOXzk ) thank you !

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.
at the time he was playing a video game. we found out this day that he had a smaller type seizure at a friends house about a month ago that he did not tell us about. during both times he was playing video games. he also complains of periodic headaches, but they are not bad. EMS was called and he was taken to the ER. at first they did a cat scan with contrast that was normal. the next morning they did an MRI with contrast. they found a 1.1cm right temporal lobe 'lesion'.

Had Reveal Monitor implanted in my chest for a year. All produced no clues. Only happens when playing sports or video games. It feels like something to do with my eyes. sorry can,t be more specific. I am 43 now. They used to happen about once a year but the frequency has increaded the past couple of years. This is starting to worry me. Any ideas what this might be or who to contact in the Atlanta area. Any information is appreciated.
So I came down stairs and he was playing on my laptop playing stupid freaking video games. So I asked him if he called and he said yeah they said come anytime today. So I checked his phone... He didn't call at all he hasn't gotten or made a call at all since yesterday! He's always too busy with the damn video games to do what I ask him to do. He won't even lay with me at night because he's up until like 6 playing the stupid computer game!!!
This time, another doctor dealth with me, he stitched the wound, gave me a tetanus shot and recommended I stay away from the television or video games, get adequate rest and eat healthy. My doctor at the clinic also recommended this. My medication was changed to dilantin, but it still made me sick. They did an EEG on me about a year later and found everything to be normal, but I knew something was wrong.
NEXT TIME YOU WITNESS IT, TAKE HER STRAIGHT TO THE EMERGENCY ROOM SO THEY CAN OBSERVE AND RUN TESTS. ALSO IF YOU HAVE A VIDEO CAMERA TRY AND VIDEO TAPE THE BEHAVIOR FOR DOCTOR AS LONG AS YOU KNOW SHE IS NOT IN DISTRESS - as in breathing okay, heart beating ok, not choking, etc. OTHERWISE CALL 911 IMMEDIATELY IF THIS EVER HAPPENS) ASK ER DOCTOR TO ADMIT HER TO HOSPITAL AND DO A 24 to 48 OBSERVATION IN A CAMERA ROOM WHILE HOOKED UP TO EEG.
I have a 7-year old who about last year in Kindergarten started displaying odd behavior of zoning out. We first noticed this behavior when doing homework and reading. I think it has gotten worse into 1st grade. And i have witnessed this behavior not just during studying/learning/reading times but also while she plays video games and on the soccer field in action. She'll just stop and leave reality for a few seconds followed by a few seconds of disorientation before figuring out where she is.
re not having any caffeine, watching TV, playing video games, or doing anything else too exciting a few hours before bed time. Try to avoid bright lights. You could try having a hot bath/shower just before bed, or drinking hot milk - there's a compound in the milk that helps to make you sleepy.
If you're able to wake up to an alarm, set one for 8 hours after you want to be going to sleep, and make sure you get up, even if you've only had a few hours of sleep.
