seizure disorders rome ga

Any moms from ga on here, I'm from Rome, game and was just curious if I had any local ladies on here.

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 have been trying since early July to get to the bottom of all this, first at the VA hospital in NH and then at the VA hospital, here in Atlanta, GA. In NH, after 3 ER visits and 1 stress test, they said all my results were normal and they could find nothing wrong. Here in GA I have been diagnosed with prostatitus, bradychardia, and orthostatic hypotension. After my recent 4 day hospital stay, I was told they think it is an autonomic dysfunction.

As you've found out, Xanax is really not a drug made for constant dosing. Its short half life makes it poop out fairly quickly, necessitating numerous daily doses. Your best bet is to talk to your doctor about switching to a longer half-life Benzo such as Valium or Klonopin. Then, after you've established a once daily dose of these, you can begin a slow taper off of them.

Energy comes back slowly and can take a few more weeks to get back to normal. Sleep somehow magically gets better at 30 days or so..sometimes shorter...sometimes longer.

Im with hubby I like Rome better.

Meaning that if an EEG is done during an attack (such as the convulsion you describe above) and the EEG shows the seizure in the brain waves, then the seizure can be confirmed. In other people, convulsions occur but these are due to stress and not true seizures coming from epileptic activity in the brain, in which case the EEG will not show epileptic activity during the convulsion.

She had seizures for six years and was not controlled by many medicines we tried. Her diagnosis cortical dysplasia. She is now seizure free, however, we were told that she probably will never get off medication. We were sent to San Francisco because they have a Magnetoencephalogram (MEG) that enabled the neurologists to pinpoint the exact site for surgery. Good luck...DO NOT give up on finding help in controlling your son's seizures...

I have had two biopsies done to confirm the diagnosis of GA, we have tried topical steroids, sub-dermal steroid injections, PUVA light therapy, and dapsone, all of which have had no effect on the resolution of present lesions or preventing the spread of the condition. I have seen multiple dermatologists. I have posted pictures on my profile.

HI, An epileptic cannot have both a complex partial seizure disorder and a generalized seizure disroder. People with a generalized seizure disorder are usually born with it, while people with partial or complex partial get it sometime during thier life. Generlaized seizures occurr over the entire brain, while complex partial only occurr in a section of the brain. I have complex partial seizures that occurr in my right temporal lobe. They started from a head injury I got when I was three.

I dont have any existing conditions, but I have heard GA is connected to auto-immune disorders and both sides of my family have extensive lines of different auto-immune disorders. I want to know what is going on and if they are a sign that there is something else going on or if it is simply there, but I can't go to the doctor until July. If anyone knows of something that could help or to put my mind at ease, I'd be very grateful.

Does anyone know what DMD's, if any, that can be taken safely by people with seizure disorders?

This drug is mainly used in the treatmen for seizure disorders, trigeminal neuralgia (pain). Dosage is 100-200 mg once or twice daily until unless changed ny a competent physician.

Any ga mommies?if so, How far are you? What are you having? What are you naming him or her? And where,in GA, are you from? :)I'm from Valdosta,GA and I am 35w2d with a baby girl and I'm waiting to announce the name once she arrives!

(Currently available) antipsychotics can cause permenant movement disorder such as tardive dyskinesia. However, they must wait a period of time for withdrawl dyskineis to pass. From my knowledge atypical antipsychotics can increase the seizure threshold but this effect is generally not permanent. It would be best to see a neurologist who is a movement disorders specialist and have them do full follow up including an EEG (the specific kind to try to set off seizures) and an MRI.

It was awful so I do understand how brain chemical disorders and electrical disorders can make you appear healthy but in reality you are as ill as anyone else with a problem. just believe in yourself and ignore the jerks and realize most people understand.

I would definitely take her to the vet, although not necessarily to have her put down. I would let the vet examine her to see what he/she thinks the problem could be and take it from there. Seizure disorders can be managed medically, it's not necessarily the end of the line just because she had a seizure. I would, however, definitely get the vet involved.

I remember the gastro saying I needed to be seizure free for so long b4 I can tx. Does anybody know why this is? Will the medications lower my seizure threshold even more? My reg dr put in a call to the neuro after I had a few seizures this weekend and she put me on Keppra.

d have to be suffering from severe, repeated, constant seizures, and with no medical attention. Some people who have seizure disorders often stop breathing during a seizure but it's such a short period of time. In severe cases, say an E.R. and someone's seizing badly, oxygen would be applied. You do not have brain damage.

Dependence is the physical part. Addiction is when they're used to cover or hide from feelings. You're exhibiting both. The best way to handle this addiction is to either start tapering or go cold turkey for the physical aspect and get into aftercare for the mental side of things.

If you're taking 120mg's of Klonopin (which would be about 6 times the biggest dose I've heard of) then there is absolutely no way you're going to discretely stop. You'll have to medically detox.

Conversion disorders are disorders in which the patient suffers from symptoms of diseases that he does not actually have. The symptoms of a pseudoseizure are almost same as those of an epileptic seizure, but their origin is psychological, not neurological. One of the characteristic differentiating feature of an epileptic seizure is that there is an abnormal discharge of electricity from the brain during the seizure whereas there is no such electrical discharge during a pseudoseizure.

Well, the doc comes in and puts me on Magnesium Sulfate, an anti seizure med then gets ready to insert the cervadil and decides to do one last ultrasound. Surprise, my baby has flipped and is now breech (was vertex the day before when I had an ultrasound) so I was then scheduled for a c-section the next day at noon. C-section went fine, my baby girl Madison was born at 12:06 PM on Aug. 6 which was also my sister's 30th birthday, so she was super excited.

Hello and welcome! In adults the choice of an antiepileptic drug depends on several factors like type of seizure, associated medical disorders and use of any medications etc.Dilantin,carbamezapine,valproate can be used in temporal lobe seizures.Topamax,keppra,lamotrigine can be used as add on drugs with medications mentioned above.Dilantin doesn’t cause depression but can cause decrease in renal function,headache,dizziness,confusion,double vision etc.
