5126953 tn?1363983843 His doctor is somewhat correct, an EEG test doesn't always confirm epilepsy or a seizure disorder unless he's having activity related to a seizure at the time of the test. All of his EEG's and MRI's may show no evidence of seizures, however, that doesn't mean ignore his seizures, he needs treatment. Sometimes a seizure will leave evidence of a stroke which may or may not show up on an MRI. It doesn't sound like your husband is having strokes.
Avatar f tn I think the movement is indicative of brain deterioration. The center is focusing on feedings and pain control. She is on morphine, fentanyl path and klonipan as well as Dilantin. She still twitches. I am thinking about calling Hospice. does she have a chance of recovering??? I don't want to be the voice of gloom in the family but I want to know when to take off work and spend more time with her. She is still coherent - just has short term memory disorder.
Avatar m tn Hi and welcome, It's not uncommon to question the diagnosis but there has to be the suggestive/consistent diagnostic evidence for you to be diagnosed with MS......you've said "MRI's all clean" but at the same time also say you have one temporal lobe lesion "one brain bleed - thought possible tumor however on its own it dissolved and now have scar tissue.
2086351 tn?1333288676 It is not discipline. Even so-called "normal" individuals can experience seizures from flickering lights.The reasons are unclear, however it involves the pathways from the optic nerve to the brain. The difference between a diagnosed epileptic and the rest of us rests in the threshold at which the brain responds to such stimuli. This threshold may vary from day to day or year to year. An anti-seizure drug raises the threshold by blocking signals.
Avatar n tn There is no major drug use reported, and no history in the family of epilepsy or any other seizure disorder. What could have caused this?
Avatar f tn However, my 23 year old son has experienced 5 seizures in the past year and with each one of them he was exposed to a lot of construction dust. He suddenly had his first seizure 1 year ago when we started a major remodel in our home. I feel strongly that there is some connection to him developing seizures and our remodel, whether it be an allergy or exposure to some toxin. Do you have any documentation linking allergies with seizures?
1400336 tn?1280753890 I cannot rid myself of the utmost integrity since it is a badge of personal honor My interest are in Aneruysms, Bone Cancer, and Migraines. You may find that most comments here are folks having experience with specific disease that they are living with. Occassionally you may find a Doctor who will respond but not always. They only have have so much time to make money.
Avatar n tn s not a small thing to rule out seizure disorder, but if there is no clinical evidence of such a condition the EEG takes on less significance.
Avatar f tn A grand mal seizure is often followed by a period of confusion and delirium for a few days. You doctor is right in saying that you must not drive because you may have such seizures again. You should not drive unless you are free from seizures for a period of 6 months after taking treatment. Please take proper treatment. Hope this helps you. Take care and regards!
Avatar f tn Evening primrose oil may lower the seizure threshold and use is contraindicated in patients with seizure disorders, schizophrenia, or individuals receiving anti-seizure or anti-psychotic medications. Therefore, before using this herbal supplement for hair loss I would consult your doctor to see if it is appropriate or if they can recommend something else due to you taking Seroquel (which is classified as an anti-psychotic agent).
Avatar n tn The doctors dont think its feveral seizures (neither do I), he doesnt have a temperature to begin with, but sometimes has a slight temperature after/during the seizure. He has had an MRI and EKG done, there is some evidence to a seizure disorder, but the doctors are not looking into the body temperature factor. When he has a seizure he doesnt sweat and just goes blank, and most recently has vomited. They only last 1-4 minutes. Please let me know if you have heard of anything like this.
Avatar f tn s where a lot of the evidence of the dangers of stopping benzos cold turkey came from -- a psychiatrist in England who had worked at a rehab facility. Perhaps you could get your psychiatrist involved, or copy the information about the dangers of quitting benzos cold turkey. Of course, it's probably just as stupid to cold turkey quit methadone, but that's what these facilities do. Good luck.
1549468 tn?1345468736 Have you talked to your neuro since all this happened? You have more than sufficient empirical evidence that what is going on with you is _not_ simply PNES. You deserve better than this.
Avatar f tn Hi and welcome, Your still in your teens so it's unlikely to be PPMS, the average diagnostic age is in the 40-50 age group because PPMS causes a 'slow' disease progression and it usually takes decades before the accumulative affects become evident. Theoretically for your age you'd still be withing the age range of pediatric MS, even rarer than PPMS but the diagnostic rules of RRMS would still apply....
Avatar n tn Seizures are very complex and what works for one may not for another. What I have found is that all of the cases are so different, each child may have the same "type" of seizure but won't respond to the same med. They have never found a cause for his seizures. We even took him to John Hopkins a couple of times in hope of them finding some reason. I'm sorry for what you and your little one is going through...
Avatar n tn my wife was diagnosed with anemia, iron defiency even though she takes many vitamins. She's been taking the minimum dosage of seroquel and depacote for 3 months because of dementia ( she's young) She recently had a seizure- legs and eyes shaking rapidly. The doctors said this was because of the low iron level. ????????
Avatar f tn So if you were seizing whilst having an EEG the results should be abnormal if causation is from abnormal brain activity, and normal if its not. Absent seizure and psuedo seizure may sound or seem the same but technically and visually they are very different, absent seizures just like epileptic seizures, usually generate the telling spike and wave pattern on the EEG.
4111382 tn?1356207828 Ive felt my girl kick, punch and roll. I can feel the differences between all of these. But what is my child doing when there's like a mini earthquake in my belly? I can't even really discribe it. Its like my kid is having a seizure or some thing. I thought maybe hiccups but it only lasts for a minute or two and then it goes away. But its definitely my kid.
Avatar n tn It does sound like your son is experiencing some type of seizure. (There are different types) I have repeatedly had gran mal seizures and only once (at work) had a petite mal. I must agree with the advice you have been given here. While going to the Emergency Room is perhaps your first thought when you do not know what is happening with your child, since you have been told by a Physician to see a Neurologist - the ER is yes indeed just another bill.
167 tn?1374173817 You must be talking with bny. The movement I'm referring to is not seizure like and not hiccups. I am positive it is practice breathing after doing research. It is just identical to how a newborn breathes.
Avatar m tn Hi all, Immediate problem: About an hour ago, I started to feel slightly disoriented, suddenly weak, dizzy, and numb-ish, mostly on the left side of my body (most pronounced in my head). I feel vaguely nauseated and can't concentrate as well as usual, along with a strong urge to take a nap. This has happened before on several instances, during or after a couple of which I've fallen unconscious for 2-6 hours at a time and awaken exhausted.
Avatar n tn Hi, I have been searching for solutions for about 2 years for my daughter. She has now, at age 21 yrs complex partial seizures and when she is in them she asks the questions over and over again within seconds, "What time is is? What day is it? Do I have anything to do today? What am I doing tomorrow?" This goes on for 2 mins and last night it was about 12 minutes...the longest ever. She has had one EEG and CT scan.
Avatar m tn Have you been evaluated by a neurologist yet? Seizures can manifest themselves in many ways. Lack of sleep is a trigger for many people. You may need to have an EEG done when you are really tired and see if this is related to seizure activity in the brain. Sometimes things like MS can cause this too. I would see a neurologist and go from there.
