Avatar n tn Infections and fever can make an otherwise healthy individual more prone to have a seizure. a single episode of seizure cannot be marked as epilepsy. An EEG to ensure that there are no structural abnormalities in brain. Normal EEG and MRI brain are encouraging though this does not rule out a future episode.

Avatar n tn Can you describe some more details regarding the seizure activity to know better? Sleep deprivation can be one of the triggers for seizure activity. It need not always happen at night. You may consult a neurologist for complete check up and investigations including a sleep study. Take care and share your thoughts.
Avatar f tn It sounds like a possible seizure. They can manifest in many different ways and it's not uncommon to see that head tilting behavior. It's also typical to that they need to sleep quite a while after having a seizure. Since he's had two episodes that you know of, it's definitely time to see your vet. Try not to panic. I know seeing a seizure of any kind is extremely scary, but epilepsy in dogs can usually be well-managed with medications.
Avatar f tn He was placed on Keppra 500mg orally twice a day for seizure precautions due to the fall. He has been on the medication for approximately three weeks. He is tired, blah, and feels short of breath. I know it will take time to heal but do you know how long he should have to be on the medication and/or how long he will feel this way? I'm not sure how much activity to encourage. If you have any information or advice to ask the neurologist, I would greatly appreciate it!!
Avatar n tn It would depend on the cause of the seizures. Also some medications can lower the seizure threshold including many antipsychotics but only a doctor or psychiatrist would understand this in full. It would be worthwhile to discuss these concerns with them and what the appropriate means of follow up would be.

Avatar f tn I was in a rehab facility for drug treatment...the place had a no drug policy for tx of withdrawal experienced while in rehab facility. The levels of the drug in my body as the level decreased it caused me to have insomnia for several nights and after three/four days I then had a grand mal seizure..l was finally given Tramadol for help with sleep. Per the rehab facility Tramadol is only drug prescribed as to very low addition rate. Supposed to be basically non-addictive.
1580703 tn?1651904887 Prednisolone can also aggravate pre-existing seizure disorder. Certain precautions that your physician would be taking care of are, using the lowest possible dose, for the shortest time, alternate day dosing can be followed if possible, and gradual withdrawal to limit the adrenal suppression. Usually a treatment for more than 3 weeks is taken as long term. I cannot advise the dose, which can cause neurological symptoms and side effects. Consult your physician for the needful in your case.
Avatar f tn If it is confirmed that your events are due to seizures, you would need to be started on seizure medications (anti-epileptic drugs). It is important to assume seizure precautions as well, such as not driving or being in situations in which you could injure yourself or others if you had a seizure, such as standing on a height or swimming unsupervised. Thank you for using the forum, I hope you find this information useful, good luck.

Avatar f tn Welcome to the HIV forum. First and most important, you should discuss this with your supervisor and/or the infection control professional for the institution. In almost all health care settings, there are standard protocols to assess potentially risky body substance exposures and criteria for management often vary from one place to another.
1530342 tn?1405016490 s one-child policy immediately and allow two children for every family by 2015, a daring proposal to do away with the unpopular policy. Some demographers see the timeline put forward by the China Development Research Foundation as a bold move by the body close to the central leadership. Others warn that the gradual approach, if implemented, would still be insufficient to help correct the problems that China's strict birth limits have created.
Avatar n tn It is very rewarding, but I am having a great deal of trouble getting insurance. I wanted to get an individual policy, high deductible, with the physicians we use in the network. The problem is that I have a benign arrthymia known as PACs (premature atrial contractions). I have been assured by my internist and cariologist that there is no problem, and no treatment is required.
574118 tn?1305135284 For instance seroquel is 25mg is enough for me and active. My lamictal was 2mg infantile and was working well until i had seizure with paxil. So each time i take a new drug i never reacvh what is called a therapeutic level. Why should i, if already my therapeutic level is so low instead of ruining my liver,... Could this apply to lithium as well, i.e.
Avatar f tn The change in air pressure after an injury like you have can lead to a seizure, no thanks, right? Has it only been two weeks? I do think those with head injuries need to take special precautions but not indefinitely. Does he totally evade the question as to when you'll be okay for air travel? And again, I'd look into other means of transportation.
Avatar n tn If they arent too many side affects, then stay on it. I have JME, and I take Keppra. I've been on Keppra for almost 5 years now. Started at 23, and I'm 28 now. I had one grand mal seizure and that was the worst month of my life. Not knowing your parents, you can move, and the headaches... if he's seizure free, keep the meds! Nothing is worse than having a seizure. And you cant drive after that. I say stay on it. Keppra has done very well for me...

Avatar n tn my new doctor took me off the meds and said the previous doctor should not have prescribed them to me because i have a seizure disorder, though the old doctor never bothered to have me see a nuerologist to find the cause, i actually noticed a decrease in the seizures when i started the adhd meds. the new doctor sent me to a nuerologist and helped me find a psyc to see if putting me back on the meds would be ok.
Avatar m tn Under certain circumstances this can precipitate an actual epileptic seizure. Or a medical condition somewhat short of a complete seizure. The same thing can happen from the flickering of sun through an aircraft propeller blade. Certain animations and CRT configurations exacerbate this phenomena. The "flicker" affects the brain. How exactly a seizure is induce is not clear. This medical problem has been well-documented and researched.
Avatar m tn Wow, if my employer knew I'd had my hands on a coworker's tool while on the clock, I'd be in for a visit with HR for sure! Whether or not it's a personnel policy, it's a good personal policy. Don't touch a coworker's tool no matter how clean you think it might be.
Avatar m tn I really appreciated your response to my bizarre accident, because I was pretty far from pt and the lancet flew form device and stuck my leg. Do you think that I should take precautions, not to infect my son or my boyfriend; I'm planning on it and I told then what had happen too!
Avatar n tn 4 of his seizures occurred in the morning and 2 in the afternoon - 1 while relaxing and one while playing basketball. He has been seizure-free for 3 yrs. on Depakote ER. The Dr. wants to try weaning him this summer, before he starts driving. My son and the rest of the family are extremely apprehensive about this. Dr. says if he has one seizure, he goes back on the med. for life. Only possible side-effect he has is fatigue, but not sure this is due to med.
