Common Questions and Answers about Rare seizure disorders in children
seizure
My 9 yr old grandson has a seizure disorder that may be linked to autism. He is on Depakot & Risperdal. The main problem is his inability to realize when he needs to use the toilet, resulting in having bowel movements. He can sit forever until someone notices the odor. It doesn't bother him & his doctors don't seem too concerned. Could the medication w or w/o the disorders have anything to do w/this problem. Or, is it some other reason?

my aunt, she is 30 years old has night panic attacks, she wakes up with crying. the crying begins in her sleep and when she woke up she doesn't realize what is happening. the cries are low, continues like a child cry. if she is asked why she is crying? what happened? her reply is "nothing", i don't remember any thing what is happening and she complains of severe body pains which persist for one- two hours later disappears.
Almost 2 years ago she had what appeared to be a tonic-clonic seizure. We live in a very rural area. By the time we got to a hospital and an EEG was performed (about 3 hours after the episode) the only abnormalities appeared to be a slowing of brain waves. Around that time frame, I began to notice she would have "spasms" involving her entire body. She has had them every since, but I am noticing more frequency since she began menstruation.
I am a 43 healthy female. I had a gran mal seizure in 2004 where I fell backwards stiff as a board and cracked my head open on concrete. I lost all consciousness and could not tell where I was when I came to. I do not remember falling. God blessed me that day as I was about to drive my husband and 2 children home from vacation from San Antonio to Houston. I could have killed them and another driver.
which he did none of) We have no history of any sort of neurological disorders in the family. I am unsettled because being the mom of energetic boys, I have seen them spin around and play hard and never have I seen one of them shake. Could there be some other underlying issue that can cause this behavior?

I am sitting in my office..in vroad daylight, but in front of my eyes...i am in some other place...in evening time,...with some different family/ doing something completely different (it keeps changing)..if its a family also...i am so much there that i feel i have always been a part of it...or the other work i am doing in my second world is what i have been doing all my life. Stuck between 2 worlds...
There are several metabolic disorders that can present with carnitine deficiency including mitochondrial disorders, disorders of amino acid metabolism, disorders in the urea cycle, and other errors of inborn metabolism. Problems in the liver can also affect carnitine metabolism
Dietary deficiencies in carntine can also lead to carnitine deficiency. Certain vegetarian diets can lead to deficiency, but well-balanced vegetarian diets may not necessarily.
She is now age 31 and seemed to be in excellent health until April 2008 when she had a grand mal seizure out of the blue. Since then, she's had approximately 10 more. Does anyone know of other adults diagnosed with seizure disorder that had Kawasaki as a child? Just seems like there might be some connection between the seizures and Kawasaki. My daughter went to the seizure clinic at Barnes hospital in St. Louis back in August for an extended EEG.
The blinking is mild in the morning and increases throughout the day being very frequent in the evening. There is NO history of an family neurological disorders or tourrets. This started on the 1st day of 2nd grade. I was thinking maybe is was a reaction to all of the stimulation from starting school. I don't know. My son had a gasping tic when he was 2 and did it when he was trying to speak, but it only lasted a few months. I have heard of children developing temporary tics like this.
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.
You will find love again one day, for now just concentrate on getting yourself in a better emotional state and making your children feel secure. My husband passed away leaving me with 3 children ages 4, 2, and 1. I had nobody to lean on, and I had to make it for my kids sake and everything I did was for them. It wasn't easy, but I just kept putting one foot in front of the other moving forward.
Hi and welcome,
Your question has come up in the MS community forum but IF you are not diagnosed with a medical condition that causes inappropriate laughing and or have just started experiencing this specific symptom..... please contact your doctor!
With sensory issues in children, you have to figure out what sets them off. I have over-sensitive senses myself, so I know what going through life is like with that. Figuring out what senses she is over or under sensitive to helps. Sometimes people will crave one sense and avoid another. Sometimes they will crave something that will overstimulate them. Anyways, figuring out what is called a "sensory diet" if you haven't already should help you.
