seizure symptoms care

what are the symptoms of epilepsy and are there any warning signs? This discussion is related to <a href='/posts/show/894351'>EEG</a>.

i had a clonic-tonic seizure about 3 weeks ago. i was put on keppra and now am having a lot of confusion and am very tired and extremely moody. is this related to the seizure and or the medication?

Once i did this next thing i knew i woke up sitting on my shower floor with my hair tangled on my shower knob, holding my head up. The only reason for me to believe it was a seizure is because i woke up to a loud banging noise, which happened to be my head hitting the wall continuously, but i didnt feel it and couldnt control it. once i stood up i was still very dizzy, confused and scared because i ended up completely turned around and on the ground of my shower.

No $#!T.. That's what I've mentioned before.. I already know all this.. it's just mentioning that the only type of brain damage incurred is from repeated and untreated seizures.. That's weird how seizures can have their own severity.. some happen when ya don't even know it! Kind of makes ME wonder.. Substance induced seizures are pretty nasty.. I've seen them on television.. definitely nothing comfortable to see..

It still sounds like some type of seizure disorder to me. Look at the evidence. Sometimes every neurologist disagree with each others diagnoses. This in tern is not good for you and your situation. I am a 54 yr old male and I was diagnosed by a common doctor of having Generalized Anxiety Disorder way back in 1975 so, they put me on Anxiety medications but, the seizures still came along just the same.

he was first put on suboxone was on that for about a week and then switched to methadone---all done under care of doctors. i know the jerky movements are from withdrawl i always saw them when he was using but these are like full body would almost think seizure like movements---scares me and him. i personally think it is just the chemicals in his brain getting back to normal but am not positive. he was taking i'd say 300mg of oxycontin daily snorting them. thanks for the help.

You did try to help him and he was a very lucky little guy to have you care for him.He knew that you loved him and i am sure that he loved you just as much.Please dont blame yourself ,You did everything you could for that baby.He was blessed to have you care for him as much as you did.You will be in my prayers.May God Bless You.

Do you have family history of seizure? How you know that it was tonic clonic? Describe your symptoms to the doctor, how you felt before and after the seizure. Ask doctor what could be the cause for seizure and whether medication is needed or not. Investigations like MRI and EEG are done to find out the cause. Relax, and avoid driving for a while till you see the doctor.

Patients with simple focal seizures do not lose consciousness and remember the events that occur at the time while patients with complex partial seizures will have abnormal consciousness and may or may not remember the seizure. Other symptoms include abnormal muscle contraction, repetitive movements, abnormal sensations, nausea and changes in mood or emotion. Diagnosis is usually with a complete neurological examination and EEG.

Hi, I have been getting this strange feeling since last 2 months. Suddenly I feel a flickering sensation above my right eyelid and my both eyes would start rapidly flickering, the neck becomes stiff & i am not able to speak. This sensation remains for 5-7 seconds and then i am normal again. During this whole process i am conscious & able to walk, move my limbs & able to hear & respond with bodily gestures to ppl around.

What was the result of the MRI ? Are there other symptoms present with the change of seizure? If another seizure attacks, just make sure she has somebody with her all the time and she doesn't hurt herself or hit her head with something hard. Take care and keep us posted.

Do the use of these medications help with MS symptoms. If so could taking these type of meds make it more difficult to get a diagnosis.

Do I need to seek testing? I have had several possible seizure last fall, they ranged from several seconds (were I would just stare in space and not speak) to several minutes (where I had an aura before had that felt like something washed over me and then I was seperated or a bit detached and I could not speak and afterwards had a terrible headache) and these were witnessed by my mom.

Hi, Diagnosis of temporal lobe seizure is primarily on the basis of the symptoms presented and the results of tests. Diagnosis may include a complete physical examination, including a detailed neuromuscular examination, an EEG (electroencephalograph) or a head CT scan or a cranial MRI may show the location and extent of the lesion. EEG shows characteristic changes confirming partial (focal) seizures, and may show the focus (location of the cause). What were the results of your tests?

It showed lesions on my brain in the parahippocampal and right temporal horn region. I was put on seizure medication and I still am not convinced that I have seizures. Medicine doesn't really help. Recently I have been uncoordinated. I get dizzy then my limbs and head feel very heavy. I get very weak. Always feels like my head is floating yet heavy. Spots in my left eye and sometimes my right but eye exam ok.

My 9 yr old was diagnosed with seizure disorder last week after stress EEG showed multiple abnormal firings in left parietal lobe. MD states that it is most definitely seizure activity/disorder. His symptoms are so vague, though, that we often don't know when he is having a seizure, or what to do. We only seem to know for sure that he had a seizure after the fact, because he sleeps 3-7 hours.

I had one seizure about 3 weeks ago,and so far its unexplained...I just had a eeg done today and are waiting for results...could this possibly never happen again? and are there such things as only one seizure and never having another one?? What could some of the causes be?

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 ?

Lost it for 1-2 minutes. Acutuley aware of what was going on but was paralyzed. Is this a seizure? Spoke to a friend who has an epileptic friend and he said spots in front of your eyes is a good indicator one is coming. Had that at 5:30 or so. Worst in my life. Just wanted a little "normal" Friday night. Is this part of wd's? Been through enough but was told expect more....usually you get more than one. Scared to death to drive. Sat for hours drinking water.

I don't blame you for seeking a different opinion because the seizure disorder just doesn't add up. I have known several people that have seizure disorders from focal seizures (local area of the brain) to grand mal (generalized, all of the brain) and your symptoms don't match. If you were suffering from a seizure disorder I would think that your symptoms would only last for hours or at the most a day. An EEG can be normal even when you have a seizure disorder.

Too much stressed body and mind do not get proper rest and may be a triggering factor. You need to see a neurologist if symptoms worsens further. Keep posting your thoughts. Take care.

None of my doctors know what is going on or why they are happening. All the tests are negative, yet the symptoms are very real. The only time I do not have symptoms is while I am asleep or if I am intently concentrating on a task. So none of this makes any sense. The doctors say they do not even think it is dystonia, nothing totally fits. I am completely concious during an attack and aware of my surroundings, I am just unable to control my body.
