Common Questions and Answers about Seizure symptoms ms

seizure

Avatar f tn Your clear MRI and entire list of symptoms is suggesting that its unlikely to be due to a neurological condition like MS, MS literally means many scars and the symptoms are caused by those brain and or spinal cord lesions (scars). RRMS doesn't typically 'present' with so many different types of issues, your symptoms are generally all over, in all peripherals, unrelated to MS etc and when there isn't any lesions, understandably conditions like MS become very unlikely.....
Avatar f tn My MRI results lead my neurologist to send me for a lumbar puncture to check for possible MS. I am taking medication for the seizure they say I had. Now just waiting for insurance to approve the lumbar puncture. I still have some numbness on the side of my mouth when I eat. Sometimes, I have to stop eating, massage my mouth and wait for the numbness to go away, then continue eating. This is all so new and scary to me. I am a single mom, so I have lots of responsibility.
Avatar m tn Could be seizure activity or MS but could probably be a number of other things too. (Not all seizures are grand mals, etc. Seizure activity can cause a number of different symptoms.) I would see a neurologist and have these two things ruled out.
Avatar f tn MS is a disease of the central nervous system, theoretically MS can cause symptoms to develop anywhere and whilst MS is unique to the individual, there is still a pattern of symptom development and what you've described doesn't sound consistent with MS. I would definitely suggest you contact you neurologist to discuss what's been happening but try to be open minded, MS has many mimics and it really may not be MS! Cheers.........
Avatar m tn ve heard of anyone specifically saying they experience the same things you have but seizures are an uncommon symptom of MS, so if it is seizure related it may be an indication of an alternative causation.
1252074 tn?1271541709 I have been having several symptoms of MS since November. In the last 4 months my memory has been horrible. I have been transposing numbers, forgetting my phone number, losing words, forgetting how to spell words... My neuro says that some of those are side effects of Topamax so we are playing w/ the daytime dose to see if it makes a difference. I hope this helps. Happy thoughts headed your way!
Avatar m tn Because of the balance issue I have started to wonder if the seizure could have been related to MS. I also have auto-immune skin conditions: vitiligo and seborrhea.
Avatar f tn Hi kris and welcome to our little MS community, We get a lot of people asking about MRI findings, they are honestly difficult for lay people to understand and interpret and unless they use the more common MS MRI language that we see here, i generally can't make heads or tails of them, sorry.
5466288 tn?1410485185 After doing more research,it seems those symptoms can also be caused by MS and other conditions.
505751 tn?1225032462 I see the neurologist on the 13th and hope by then all the other test results have come in and maybe I can get some additional answers concerning the possibility that I may have MS. But, this seizure thing sure has taken be by surprise. I have been reading about this type of epilepsy and I can see that it could explain some strange sensations I have had that didn’t cause me to lose consciousness, but were really weird. Anyone out there been diagnosed with this sort of thing and MS?
Avatar f tn I have yet to be diagnosed with MS. I have many of the symptoms and lesions on MRI and am seeing an MS specialist the beginning of December. My question is really about seizures and MS. Monday I had a couple of Grand Mal seizures, they were not the first in my lifetime, but there haven't been many. Since the seizures on Monday (today is Thur.) my legs are VERY weak. Could the seizure been the beginning of a relapse? The seizures happened after a horrible bout with cluster headaches.
Avatar f tn I currently take Trileptal for Partial Seizures (my seizures are well controlled with it) but whenever I miss 2 doses in a row (which I obviously try not to), I experience numbness and tingling in my face and head. I know these are symptoms of MS and I know Trileptal can be used for MS patients to help with nerve issues. I guess my question is should I see my neurologist? Is it possible that this face numbness/tingling sensations are symptoms of MS? FYI I am a 33 yr old female.
Avatar f tn The symptoms of multiple sclerosis are loss of balance, muscle spasms, numbness in any area, problems with walking and coordination, tremors in one or more arms and legs. Bowel and bladder symptoms include frequency of micturition, urine leakage, eye symptoms like double vision uncontrollable rapid eye movements, facial pain, painful muscle spasms, tingling, burning in arms or legs, depression, dizziness, hearing loss, fatigue etc. You have many of these symptoms.
398059 tn?1447945633 there are so many different types of seizures - do you have a particular type of one that appears to fit your symptoms? What would the nurse base this suggestion on since these also match MS symptoms, without seizures?
Avatar f tn I don't recall ever having a concussion. I have had several Mri's with new lesions each time. I'm am taking copaxone. They don't consider me a seizure patient or that I would need meds for that. They also don't consider a seizure a symptom of MS. Could have fooled me. My brain truly felt like it had been electrocuted. That's when we found the first 2 lesions.
Avatar n tn My otherwise healthy husband recently had a seizure. cat scan and initial blood and eeg appear normal. His brain MRI show some lesions suggestive of MS. THe only neurological symptoms he's had recently at all was a short bout of vertigo this past summer. we are starting to get the bloodwork back on him and everything is negative/normal except he has an elevated ANA (1:160). which I understand suggests lupus. His lupus anticoag. was negative, lyme negative, bloodcounts look normal .
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 f tn My whole diagnosis started with a seizure. Now everyday whenever I feel different, I am afraid that I am going to have another seizure. I have read and heard from others that when you have your first seizure as an adult, chances are you will never have another one. I take medication for this twice a day, so I tell myself that I am OK and don't worry about another one.
Avatar f tn I had an mri 6mos later and 3 new lesions, another mri 3mos later and 2 new lesions, just had another mri and one previous lesion grew 3x the size and another new lesion. Still no symptoms. A top NYC MS specialist confirms ris and feels it is ms. Has anyone had numerous lesions in such a short amount of time?
388544 tn?1231982494 t go hand in hand because my mom was diagnosed with MS in 1988 and had a Grand-maul seizure in Febof 2005. Her MS got really crappy and she was diagnosed with Epilepsy. They say only 2% of people with MS have seizures but I find that hard to believe.
