Common Questions and Answers about Seizure symptoms simple
seizure
Hello everyone, I am new here, I have been on the MS and Lyme forum but have had some questions regarding the type of seizures that I have. I was dx'd with simple partial seizures after having 5 abnormal EEG's.
According to my Neuro. .. the slurred speech that I have had that would last up to two weeks long are a seizure, and that my brain is misfiring and getting stuck for two weeks.
Just wondering if any of you have ever heard of that?
Hello thank -you for reading. In december 08 I had a seizure, i guess what would be considered a tonic clonic kind. I experienced another one Feb 12 09. I was sent to a neurologist. I had eeg, sleep eeg and mri. All turned out "normal". From Dec until now I am also having these wierd sensations which are hard to describe..please bear with me. It happens most frequently at night, or im already in bed, although on occasion they happen during the day if im very tired.
Docs always told me it was an anxiety attack but come to find out I was having simple partial siezures with aura. I remain conscious, have the seizure and then fall asleep. Completely wipes me out and most of them occurred in the evening or with lights/sound triggers. Antihistamines caused mine too. Hope this helps!
It can be a simple or complex seizure wherein awareness or memory may or may not be affected. 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.
I have a seizure disorder and I am a 7yr. Cancer survivor. I feel like I am falling through the cracks when the medical doctors and losing myself at the same time. This is all so strange, don't know what else to do. I have no kind of life anymore.So...yes a long question, my fatigue is unreal. My therapist says a lot of my issues sound more medical. Any feed-back would appreciated.
There is no simple, definitive test for a seizure disorder. Often, seizure disorders are diagnosed based on patient history and observation of a seizure. If your daughter had a seizure lasting 30 min., that would qualify for a diagnosis in the minds of many clinicians. I'm sure you'll follow up with the diagnosing doctors and others as necessary. I hope the seizure turns out to be a one-time event.
I had a Craniotomy to remove a brain tumour 8 months ago, have since experienced muscle twitching (sometimes visible, sometimes not) all over, also have weakness in right arm which i am very worried about. I had these symptoms straight after surgery but they eased off for months but recently come back again. The tumour was slow growing, benign and removed in full. Had MRI two months ago which was still clear, I am worried that I may have a progressive or disabling disease i,e ALS or MND.
Hubby described limb shaking
The last three symptoms are when the simple partial seizures got more severe, eventually leading to the grand mal seizures
After the grand mal seizures I'd sleep a deep sleep that I could not be woken up from for about a half hour. Then I'd sleep for another hour or so, but would still be tired
All my EEG activity was normal but they never caught one of the seizures
I cut soy out years ago because it seemed to make them worse.
You should probably see a neurologist, for the seizure as well. You should certainly document all of your symptoms, physical and mental (smells, tastes, fears, panic, etc.) for your doctor visits. I have one son with epilepsy, and lost my daughter to epilepsy. Neither child had or has thyroid or pituitary issues. I am the thyroid issue, lol. However there is potential connection as both can be the result of underlying autoimmune disorders. My family has a long list of autoimmune disorders.
One is a simple partial seizure. A simple seizure is the one in which the patient is aware throughout. And partial means, only some body parts show movements.
The second one is Sleep paralysis.
I was wondering if you have got your EEG done. EEG is a good test to show epileptic discharges in the brain.
I'm 39 yr old female. Recently had 1st tonic-clonic seizure. I have had migraines for years w/previous "clear" MRI done. MRI Summary of findings after seizure:
"Cluster of small left choroidal fissure cysts which demonstrate slight mass effect with flattening of the superior margin of the hippocampal body. Suggestion of small amount of gliosis of the superiorly adjacent parenchyma.
On the ther hand, patients with complex partial seizures will have abnormal consciousness and may or may not remember any or all of the symptoms or events surrounding the seizure.
He was then rushed to the local ER where he was given heavy doses of anti seizure medication that did absolutely nothing to stop the seizure. He seized for approximately 8-10 minutes! When convulsions stopped, he proceeded to be combative and violent towards everyone including my mother, which at this point he did not recognize. Eight hours passed and toxicology reports indicated nothing wrong, no critically low levels, no overdose. Emergency sedation was required due to his combative state.
Well, none of the symptoms described are suggestive of a seizure disorder. If the EEG taken in a few days after an episode was normal, the possibility is highly unlikely. Other possible causes that may need to be considered include stress/ anxiety, sleep disorders, OSA, opthalmic causes, micronutrient deficiencies, neuro-psychiatric causes etc.I would suggest discussing the situation in detail with your treating neurologist. After a specific cause is diagnosed, it can be managed accordingly.
