seizure of verbal evidence

s not a small thing to rule out seizure disorder, but if there is no clinical evidence of such a condition the EEG takes on less significance.

Over the last 6 weeks he has become tired, miserable, sad, angry, withdrawing from activities, complaining of dizzy spells and headaches.... because of his autism his pain threshold is crazy ( he had a huge hernia and felt no pain... he dislocates his knee cap by choice with no pain).... he is unable to explain how he feels or what he is experiencing so it is about guess work and piecing together evidence. When he has a dizzy spell it is always followed with a headache... and tiredness..

Child demonstrates sudden onset change in behavior from talkative, engaged in social or playful behavior to either fixed stare, or nystagmus with lip smacking, strong pressure sound (like a pressure cooker). He becomes non-verbal - with excessive drooling . After the fixed stare resolves he appears to focus on finger play between the thumb and first or second finger other symptoms above remain.

Verbal fluency is affected in some people with MS whereas verbal comprehension appears undamaged. Verbal fluency deficits usually take the form of slowed free recall of words that describe concepts and less often words that name objects. Cognitive Fatigue: On average, people with MS tire more quickly during psychological tests and often start off matching control subjects but their performance tails off as the test progresses.

My 30 year old brother has Autism, Aspergers, ADHD, mild depression, a history of seizures and a heart murmur. All of which have been managed for the past 12-20 years with various common prescribed medications. The medications he is currently taking have been the same dose for at least the past 10 years. A week ago, he started complaining of joint pain, fatigue, loss of appetite, headaches, and in general he stated "He didn't feel himself.".

The other day she had a grand mall seizure and a few small ones in the last couple of days. I know that she takes way to many of the ultram because she would run out early and ask me for some. I know that I will not bring this up because I am to scared too. I don't think she is taking right now because she is having many testing done. Does Ultram permantley damage your brain to make you keep on having seizures?

I have 3 children on the spectrum. Hayden (15) has Asperger's Syndrome. He's quite talkative, and I know he understands when I praise him for doing a good job on something. I can praise him just as I praise my non-autistic children. My other children on the spectrum are mostly non-verbal. Daniel (10) consistently shocks me though. While I was cleaning the kitchen yesterday, he came in, and pulled me over to his little sister who has having a seizure on the couch.

Something like 'non-verbal Autistic' or 'low to non verbal Autistic' , your name and 2 of your prefered contact numbers......

There is no major drug use reported, and no history in the family of epilepsy or any other seizure disorder. What could have caused this?

His doctor is somewhat correct, an EEG test doesn't always confirm epilepsy or a seizure disorder unless he's having activity related to a seizure at the time of the test. All of his EEG's and MRI's may show no evidence of seizures, however, that doesn't mean ignore his seizures, he needs treatment. Sometimes a seizure will leave evidence of a stroke which may or may not show up on an MRI. It doesn't sound like your husband is having strokes.

thanks for the information. I also have paresthesia in both legs and arms as well as vibratory sensations. I get this sensation of fullness in the back of my head that makes me feel "foggy". My biggest issue is my memory, I have difficulty retaining what i read and with verbal memory. I also experience extreme fatigue. they have already r/o MS with testing. I tend to thrash around alot when I sleep, have a sensation of always feeling hot even though its winter(usually at night).

The doctors dont think its feveral seizures (neither do I), he doesnt have a temperature to begin with, but sometimes has a slight temperature after/during the seizure. He has had an MRI and EKG done, there is some evidence to a seizure disorder, but the doctors are not looking into the body temperature factor. When he has a seizure he doesnt sweat and just goes blank, and most recently has vomited. They only last 1-4 minutes. Please let me know if you have heard of anything like this.

He may have epilepsy or something else going on. They may want to do a Cat Scan of his brain too to see why he had a seizure. Push for the tests. This is why you pay to have insurance. You're his parent. You know him better than anyone else. Good luck and let us know how it all goes.

So if you were seizing whilst having an EEG the results should be abnormal if causation is from abnormal brain activity, and normal if its not. Absent seizure and psuedo seizure may sound or seem the same but technically and visually they are very different, absent seizures just like epileptic seizures, usually generate the telling spike and wave pattern on the EEG.

She has very high academic and verbal skills but struggles with a bit of receptive language and some sensory issues. As I am a teacher of students with AS, I am quite comfortable with this profile. My concern is about the spasms. How do I begin to assess frequency? Do I need to be concerned about seizures given there can be a relation between AS and seizure disorders?

Also you will also most likely have to stay on some type of seizure medication throughout your life. I know that is not what you wanted to hear but, it is what it is. Try and avoid stress as much as possible because that can also be a trigger for seizures.

Hey there, I recently checked out the Natural Medicines Comprehensive Database to check for interactions with your current medications & did not identify any problems if you decide to take Evening Primrose. The increase in the incidence of seizures has occurred with drugs called "phenothiazines" (eg. chlorpromazine, thioridazine etc) and not with Seroquel (Quetiapine). However, I do caution against using Evening Primrose Oil for hair loss.

However, my 23 year old son has experienced 5 seizures in the past year and with each one of them he was exposed to a lot of construction dust. He suddenly had his first seizure 1 year ago when we started a major remodel in our home. I feel strongly that there is some connection to him developing seizures and our remodel, whether it be an allergy or exposure to some toxin. Do you have any documentation linking allergies with seizures?

s where a lot of the evidence of the dangers of stopping benzos cold turkey came from -- a psychiatrist in England who had worked at a rehab facility. Perhaps you could get your psychiatrist involved, or copy the information about the dangers of quitting benzos cold turkey. Of course, it's probably just as stupid to cold turkey quit methadone, but that's what these facilities do. Good luck.

I know seizures can cause unequal pupil size. Do you have temporal lobe epilepsy? Usually when you have complex partial seizures from the temporal lobe on one side the pupil in the eye on the opposite side will be larger. I had refractory complex partial seizures for years coming from my left temporal lobe, and my right pupil was often a lot larger than my left, especially when I felt "seizure prone.

Hi I have a 5 year old little girl, who was Dxed with pdd-nos around 19 months old. She had a bunch of sensory issues, almost completely none verbal, no eye contact, very aggressive and she head butted all the time.... Well she has come along way since then with us working with her, and lots of therapys....

She was initially diagnosed with severe dehydration but then they found evidence of a stroke from the brain scan. They also said she had dementia and brain shrinkage. Mom had just started showing signs of memory loss prior to the seizure. Think there must have been some issues in the brain that were undetected prior to this. A lot of info that I cannot connect as one diagnosis.

Hi and welcome, Your still in your teens so it's unlikely to be PPMS, the average diagnostic age is in the 40-50 age group because PPMS causes a 'slow' disease progression and it usually takes decades before the accumulative affects become evident. Theoretically for your age you'd still be withing the age range of pediatric MS, even rarer than PPMS but the diagnostic rules of RRMS would still apply....

Hi all, Immediate problem: About an hour ago, I started to feel slightly disoriented, suddenly weak, dizzy, and numb-ish, mostly on the left side of my body (most pronounced in my head). I feel vaguely nauseated and can't concentrate as well as usual, along with a strong urge to take a nap. This has happened before on several instances, during or after a couple of which I've fallen unconscious for 2-6 hours at a time and awaken exhausted.

That actually makes sense because my whole life i have had a potassium deficiency. I have also done some of my own research and alot of what i have read has pointed to stemming. Which i guess is in relation to autism but isnt actually autistic. That also sounds alot like what it could be too. So i really just have no idea and i am hoping by being on this sit i can get alot of feedback and hopefully get to the bottom of this ongoing issue! Its not involuntary though!

The dentist didn't give me the option of a pulp viability test...what does that consist of? She said the x-ray was indeterminant and doesn't show definite evidence of nerve death. Thanks for the feedback!

It is possible that these additional conditions are indicators of different kinds of autism, each caused by a slightly different set of circumstances. While the conditions listed above are more common among autistic people than among the general population, they are by no means universal among people on the autism spectrum. In fact, many autistic people have no apparent mental or physical illness at all.
