Avatar m tn I have had 2 brain lesions for over three years. They have not grown the past two, but this years MRI showed growth. I have had a Lumbar Puncture and the only thing we are waiting on are the O-bands and the Total Protein. At this point, everything else it normal. I am frustrated as I had a Nerve Conduction study in 2015 from my knees down that showed I had no feeling from my knee to my foot on both outside legs.
Avatar f tn Partner had a stroke april 21 but only this last 6mths she has had 1/2 episodes where she has gone to laugh and had one i would describe as a seizure - she stares and goes red as though struggling to breath then 10ish secs later she is absolutely fine- anyone else had similar
Avatar f tn s prescribe some diazipan just in case...going back in two weeks...started making a journal and made a list of things to do.
612876 tn?1355514495 It should include symptoms other than headache/aura for those of us with atypical migraines, such as hemiplegic migraine symptoms like muscle weakness and paralysis, loss of speech ability, or impaired consciousness. MyMigraineConnection.com has an excellent list including rare migraine types (basal, hemiplegic, abdominal . . . ) and their symptoms so you won't leave things out.
Avatar n tn Our child was diagnosed with ADHD, TS, and Seizure Disorder. Our child does have facial twitching, shoulder shrugs, and various other things, as well as ADD symptoms like daydreaming in class, not completing assignments, being forgetful, etc. I could list them all but I'm sure that's really necessary. They did an EEG and blood work and urine tests to rule out other things such as lead and copper and such.
Avatar n tn I am a 35 yr old female that 2 yrs ago starting having seizure like activity I have had several EEG's and did a 5 day EEG video monitoring. Apparently I was physically having seizures but EEG did not show one. I still physically have seizures or something that looks like a seizure. Mostly I do not loose contiousness however I am not always able to communicate depending on what part of my body is seizing.
564065 tn?1216314613 I was thinking seizure-free, but some people would probaly like to keep track of their seizures.
617690 tn?1241449950 Thanks for the suggestion. A seizure tracker is on our list of to-do's and we'll let you know when it's available.
Avatar m tn I don't think people who have a seizure remember the seizure, but he definitely had something. Maybe it's a thyroid problem. He needs to be seen, but an ER is the slowest, most expensive and least efficient way to do it.
Avatar f tn Many other members have also suggested a seizure tracker. We do have it on our list of to-do's and we'll let you know when it's available.
Avatar f tn I know we are to avoid them, but the contents of the list changes with each list I see. One list says white potatoes then another list of good foods for FM has potatoes on it. I'm confused. I get the feeling you may know. I've been drinking Viva Acai juice daily also. What do you think of that? I assume you have FM.
327385 tn?1378360731 Thanks for the suggestion. A Seizure Tracker is on our list of to-do's. If you would like to share what you're tracking in your seizure diary, we'll be sure to include that information when we launch the tracker.
704609 tn?1228738656 For the seizure tracker I would like a tracker that could keep track of how often i have seizures and also a way to keep track of the type of seizure the person has. I have four different types of seizures plus I have auras. Also a place to note whether an injury occured from the seizure would be nice. I have given myself concussions from the worst seizures. I also take xanax when I get an aura (when I feel a bad seizure coming on) so a way to track that would also be nice since it is related.
Avatar f tn Thanks for the suggestion. We do have a seizure tracker on our list of tracker requests and we'll let you know when it's available. However, we will not be making a recommendation on when you should call a doctor. This site is not intended to give specific medical advice...only your doctor can do that. You should be working with your doctor to determine when it's necessary to call them, but we'll provide the tool for you to track this data.
1653487 tn?1303524162 Those who are best will send you to an epi if they feel it is necessary. Mixing seizure meds, knowing which ones to use (keeping in mind there are over 40 types of seizures--epilepsy is being referred to by some as a spectrum disorder), epis tend to better know the ins and outs, and various types of cocktails known to help with different types of seizures. It's an art. So, good luck to you, and keep me posted. Send me an e-mail if you choose, whatever.
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. You need to consult a physician for investigating any underlying infectious condition, high or low blood sugar, injury, electrolyte imbalance, drug withdrawal syndrome etc.
334400 tn?1276894313 I'm not going to list all the types of birds that come to my yard throughout the year. It's about 40 different species. I won't list the Western Screech Owl because although they nest in one of my trees, they sure don't use the bird feeders. And the Sharp Shinned hawks only use the feeders as a banquet table to hit on the songbirds that visit. I'd say some of my favorites are the Red Breasted Nuthatch, the Downy Woodpecker and the Bewick's Wren.
Avatar f tn There are some that involve staring off and only last a minute or two. Some involved stiffening of the body only. Google seizure types. The only way to tell if it is a true seizures is having an eeg within 24 hours of the seizure, it will show abnormal brain activity. My brothers seizures always show in the right temporal lobe of the brain. His are controlled now with antiseizure meds. If you have seizures pregnancy can make them worse. You need to see a neurologist for proper diagnosis.
327385 tn?1378360731 A seizure tracker and a headache tracker are great ideas. We'll add these to the list and let you know when they're available. Thanks for the suggestions!
Avatar m tn Could be a panic attack, but it also sounds like you may have had a seizure. There are many different types of seizures, and all the symptoms you described are things that can and do happen during a seizure. I would definitely go to the doctor about this.
536029 tn?1213648108 then 8 months ago i developed these seizure types and a burning itchy feeling all over my body.they thought it was pseudo fits at first until they had a video of it then said it wasnt..any ideas please i cant cope with it all any longer.
Avatar f tn Hi there. There are different types of epilepsy with different characteristics like grand mal epilepsy you have tonic clonic generalized muscle contractions, frothing, unconsciousness, twitches, metal confusion, some may lose bladder and bowel control, usually preceded by an aura of impending seizure. aura is a strange feeling of muscle stiffening, hearing weird sounds, smelling strange smells etc.
Avatar n tn You are on a high dose now, so tapering slowly and switching to klonopin at the end and some anti seizure medication the very last week is what you have to do, and have all of this monitored closely by your doctor. I would suggest tapering in phases...phase one getting down to the 1 -2 mgs level/day, and learning how to sleep without xanax, maybe substituting some short term use of ambien if necessary.
