Avatar f tn t always show a seizure where she most likely is having Absence seizure. Which is like a seizure in some ways but may not show up on an EEG but the visual recognition is enough to confirm absence seizure. Find out if she notices it very often or less so.

Avatar n tn I had the surgery in 2004 and since that time, I have not had any absence or grand mal seizures. I still have seizure activity on my EEG but it now manifests itself as a headache.

Avatar n tn Hi, How is your son? One type of seizure disorder, absence seizures, are characterized by a brief impairment of consciousness that lasts for a few seconds.This is more common in children than in adults and often with an abrupt onset and prompt recovery. If the EEG results were both abnormal, it is best that he take the medication as prescribed. Absence seizures usually can be controlled with anti-seizure medications. It is best that you discuss this with his doctor to ease any doubts.

We have been to the emergency a few times and were always told that he is in fact experiencing febrile seizures which are of no concern. The seizures never last longer than a few minutes, at most. One ER doctor did however order an EEG since on one occasion he's had multiple seizures (10 short seizures in 2 hours). The EEG showed "activity" on one side of the brain (right temple).
714398 tn?1229666191 I say 100% because I had a very strange dream back in September that I was having a seizure at the doctors office (the doctor said it was an absence seizure) and when I woke up I was very tired, confused, and slightly dizzy. The more I read about seizures the more I wonder if I have had seizures before May. Anyway, what do you think is the possibility that I will have one or more seizures? I know people with Autism are more likely to have seizures...
