seizure

Avatar n tn Recently, there have been episodes of intense derealization, confusion, very high sense of impending doom, and voices become distorted, objects loose their depth and meaning. These episodes only last less than 30 seconds and I do not have other classic signs of anxiety attack such as tremling, tachycardia, sweating, etc. It happens in any situation.
401370 tn?1233324682 First of all, any officer of the law, in order to treat any inmate, has to be certified in CPR, First Aid, and alot of other procedures, and this is especially ONE of them! It's common in inmates who are detoxing cold turkey off of strong meds like morphine, and even worse on heroine!
Avatar m tn sometimes, several EEGs are needed prior to any abnormalities being detected.
Avatar f tn Hi and welcome, I honestly doubt what your dealing with is a neurological condition like MS, your symptom pattern of bilateral lower limbs (both legs & feet) and numbness in all peripheral limbs (hands & feet) always points away from central nervous conditions like MS, your pattern is more suggestive of conditions effecting the peripheral nervous system eg.
Avatar n tn Hi! I had the lap, and it went really well. He found Stage I Endometriosis and lasered it. He also drained/removed? husband can't remember? one ovarian cyst and one cyst on my fallopian tube. This was my first operation and I guess when I came out of the anesthesia I was thrashing about, moving my head and eyes rapidly back and forth and shaking in my arms and legs. The first thing I heard when I came out of it was "opps, think we lost a sock!" by one of the nurses.
Avatar f tn Does anyone know if a dog (like a human) is aware when having a grand mal seizure?
Avatar n tn The day after his death I am informed by the passenger with him that before the accident happened and the cause of the accident is because my son was having a seizure of some sort. He has never experienced a seizure before. My son just passed away yesterday but had been given blood due to his injuries. Blood was drawn before he was given blood however. Is it too late or can anything be done to find out if this was the cause of the seizure?
Avatar f tn i take meds for epilepsy & have used xanax recreationally in the past. i recently got 30 & took one "bar" a day for about a week - (maybe 2 on sunday night) then didnt take any since sunday. tuesday i had a mild seizure. do you think ive been "on it" long enough for that to be the cause of that seizure?? - b.
Avatar f tn I wonder if anyone has had a seizure during withdraw. Im on the slowest withdraw in history. I take suboxone and xanax. I had a seizure last sunday and was in the hospital for 4 days. They did tests and didnt find anything wrong. they did prescribe me klonapen. Im getting discouraged that this will never end and I might have another seizure. I'm about to give up and im not a quitter but im human and can't hang on forever, Any advice would help this middle age woman.
594907 tn?1227309164 Well per my own research, per epilepsy.com, an aura is a simple partial seizure. I can't believe how long my question has been posted on this site without a response, Over two months. I do enjoy reading this forum though. I find it interesting and can relate to some of the other symptoms that others go through. Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!!
Avatar f tn Meaning they forgot to schedule my VEP and the BAER. It's just as well; I left the house at 10:30 for my 11 appt., got seen around 11:30 (to be expected, right?) and was home around 1:30 (waiting for my MRI CD and the accompanying records). If I'd had the VEP and BAER, it might have been quite longer? How long do those tests take?
Avatar f tn I am wondering if anyone has had a similar experience with just an isolated seizure and what your thoughts are about being treated - meaning, do you think these medications are actually preventing seizures from occuring or do you think that incident was a one time fluke? I know that no one can really make that call but I thought that if anyone had been through something similar...it might help to shed some light. Thanks!
Avatar m tn Hello, For the past 3 years I've had a host of symptoms that have been undiagnosed. Mainly they are extreme sensitivity to lights, bad afterimages (brake/street lights, TV, sun reflections), palinopsia, BFEP, floaters, tinnitus and some vague system-wide pain, red skin rashes on legs. These all started a little after my first symptoms and prior to that I had no known health issues. I am a 30y/o male. Recently I have had visual problems after exercise.
Avatar m tn i have never taken tramadol, but i can tell you it takes more than a few days to get it out of your system. i know too you should not go cold turkey off the trams due to the risk of seizure. our community leader avig's DOC was tram. i will see if i can find her. maybe she can help you. good luck.
Avatar f tn However, instead of just throwing up and stopping he seemed to keep throwing up and I thought he was chocking because his back end slowly dropped to the floor and he rolled to his side and all muscles froze up and he looked like he started going into a seizure (tongue was out, jaw locked and he was urinating). I could feel his heartbeat but could not open his mouth because all muscles were locked.
Avatar f tn Hi, I've been having recurrent episodes of numbness in the fingers and the back of the head, lightheadedness, and dizziness along with blackouts, i never fainted but i still need to support myself on something next to me.
Avatar f tn At my desk at work all day, at home, the mall. My neuro said it is epilepsy-related (meaning seizure), but my EEG came out normal. Believe it or not, I just read stuff on the liver and I think it could be that the liver is "full" and needs detox... look up ****.com. Please let me know if you hear anything! I am going nuts too!
439601 tn?1357860886 Than the seizures went to partial (focal) seizure which was complex, meaning it affected my awareness and memory of events before, during and immediately after the seizure. You can also get muscle contractions, mine was lip smacking. When I lost time I finally went into the doctors. I was diagnosis with MS about 13 years ago and started on betaseron and did it for about 2 years and decided that I was fine and didn’t have anything wrong, all a mistake.
Avatar m tn 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.
Avatar m tn 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.
Avatar m tn 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!
