seizure symptoms mayo

I will be going to Mayo in a few weeks. Does anyone have any experience with Mayo Clinic? I'm going because my seizure disorder is out of control, but they know I have Chiari and I will be having an updated MRI. I'm on the highest dose Zonegran and an add on seizure medication and the discharges just keep on coming.............. I just lost a friend. She was so beautiful, only 41 with a husband and and three gorgeous children. She had Chiari Malformation 1.

Hello I posted in Neurology before about some symptoms I had that didnt seem right, but I didnt have many tests seeing as doctors wouldnt do too much. Now I have a little more to go on. I had two abormal EEGs, along with the nerve conducitons and muscle tests both showing full body neuropathy. I had blood work that got me referred back to my PCP by my neurologist that apparently had CPK, and ASMA levels that were abormal. What could all this mean?

I have had exactly what you are describing and was diagnosed with a seizure disorder that was directly linked to my chronic migraines. Once treated for the seizures, the migraines were controlled. My condition went undetected for many years until I went to the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, and it wasn't until I suffered from a Gran Mal seizure in front of witnesses that someone finally took my seizure symptoms seriously. Don't wait to seek treatment.

We are considering going back to Mayo to have testing to see if our 16 y/o son is a candidate for surgery. He has never been controlled and has been on five drugs in 4 years. I would love to share anyone's experience good/bad.....

Her symptoms continue to evolve and change which is perplexing. Mayo clinic actually rejected her based on referral from her pediatrician, who has since terminated her as a patient. This ped. has referred her to psych. before. Mayo said that they thought all appropriate tests had been covered and they did not feel they could offrer anything new to her. I continue to believe it is psychgenic in nature.

My 5 year old son had what the doctors call a BIG seizure, he had an EEG, MRI with contrast, and the neurologist said there were spots on his brain that explained his seizures and his stuttering. The EEG also showed significant signs of seizure activity. He was put on medication. He didn't do well with it and the Dr.

//www.mayoclinic.com/health/grand-mal-seizure/DS00222 I'm not a medical professional, just the parent of a kid with diabetes, and I don't know all the specific of your son's case, so I'm resisting saying exactly what happened to him. But that site does describe the condition pretty well. Again, I'm very sorry for your loss.

I have hashimotos thyroiditis and have been put on levothyroxine 50mcg and just came back from the mayo clinic a month ago bc they though these sensations could be simple partial seizures and they did MRI's and SPECT scans with nothing to find but still are not ruling out the seizure aspect. I am also on 400mg of Lamictal and 1200mg of gabapentin and they have helped a little but not enough to be satisfies at all bc I am still getting these sensations regardless.

Old chronic persisting symptoms: Severe abdominal pain )every day) made worse when having a bowel movement Nausea (every day) Vomiting Migraines (since I was 14 years old) Acid reflux ( diagnosed 9 years old) Stomach upset feeling Anxiety (however currently on cipralex as they thought migraine was tension headache) New symptoms (popped up 1-2 months ago) Whooshing, ringing in my ear Dizziness, lightheadedness, faint feeling Seizure (happened once so far) Left side pain Sha

hi I am new to this page but I am desperate . ok three years ago every night for the last three years I have crazy sensations in my head I suspect partial seizures. such as nocturnal seizures. 2 years ago I was told I have adrenal insufficiency. 1 year ago suddenly I loss the ability to walk for six months.

When we lived in Vegas we visited the Eisenhower Facility in Palm Springs. It was cadiac-related but they may have a dysatonomia clinic. I went to a Dr. Mitruska, I believe. In Las Vegas I also had a very good Dr. in cardio, Dr. Croke, no joke.

But I am absolutely elated to say that 4 weeks post surgery at least half of my symptoms are completely gone. I have not had a seizure or twitch or fall at all. My memory is improving and everything is looking up. I started physical therapy yesterday and hopefully by May I will be "normal". So, I am back. I will be around more to share my experiences and talk about Chiari. I am planning on starting a group here in Nebraska for Chiarians so if anyone is from NE let me know.

My 53 year old sister, who has a known seizure disorder, has had two bouts of very low BP, rapid weak pulse, fainting, after riding a bus for 1-1 1/2 hours. She has shown steady deterioration for about 5 years - bowel and bladder incontinence, memory. Her hands are always cold. Has seen several docs and no one seems to be able to help her. I wonder if she is suffering from some sort of autonomic disorder. Which specialty of medicine usually deals with this disorder?

Please also read up on petit mal seizures or "absence seizures." They can happen in childhood and be outgrown, or they can be a cousin of epilepsy and be treated with medication. The below is from the Mayo Clinic's site: __________ Absence seizure — also known as petit mal — involves a brief, sudden lapse of consciousness. Absence seizures are more common in children than adults. Someone having an absence seizure may look like he or she is staring into space for a few seconds.

I have POTS and am supposed to go to the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota this winter. I'm curious who has been to Mayo before and how their experiences went. Did you use the POTS clinic part of it or something else? I am also curious because I am mainly going to see if any doctor can figure out the underlying cause of my POTS (my current doctors are not interested in testing for any possible causes of it). Should I go to the POTS clinic part of it or should I just see a general doctor there?
