Also, I was never photosensitive in the past, but in the month since Geodon, I have found myself beginning to twitch uncontrollably when exposed to bright flashing light (occurred on two occasions) Certain types of lights bother me, flourescents in particular. I get headaches almost daily that last for hours on end. When I look at certain patterns I begin to see lines or spots or movement that is not there. These side effects did not appear until this year.
If all brain related causes (transient ischemic attack, disorders of hypothalamus, dementia and multiple sclerosis, head injury etc) are ruled out then Vit B12 deficiency, chronic fatigue syndrome, sleep disorders (by sleep studies), depression, use of certain drugs, and certain types of seizures (where memory loss is the predominant symptom) should be investigated for as the cause of memory loss. Apart from sleep studies, EEG, you may need cognitive tests. Please consult a neuropsychiatrist.

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.
It is unusual that you have weakness on one side of your body with a normal MRI (assuming the MRI was of good quality); sometimes disorders in the spinal cord can lead to a gait disorder and weakness, so if that is suspected based on specific physical examination findings, imaging of the spine may be indicated (though spine disorders would NOT be an explanation for seizures).
Hi,
I have temporal lobe seizures--partial complex on the left temporal lobe due to tuberous sclerosis on that lobe. In essence, I would be aware of the fact that this type of seizure can go into a generalized state if certain elements occur. Most important is to get at least 8 hours of sleep, don't short yourself on this. Take your medicines at the prescribed time by the neurologist, so they can maintain the proper serum level of protection.
I have now learned to rub them instead of scratch after ripping many pairs of jeans from doing so. I know that I am allergic to some detergents but been using one that doesn't bother me. I never had this problem before. It starting happening, the longest I'd say a year ago. At first I thought maybe it was where I had moved to, but why would whatever it could be in the house only affect my legs. I also have a rash like breakout that comes and goes on my stomach.

Seizure disorders sometimes fade and never return, so that someone who had seizures as a child or adolescent often will not have any as an adult. The medications used to treat seizures are all so-called antiseizure or anticonvulsant meds, including Topamax, Valproate, Trileptal, etc. The choice of med depends on the type of seizure disorder, and some people require two meds (polytherapy) to achieve good seizure control.

It is very difficult to put all her symptoms together, and is difficult to tell you what she can have specially without knowing what types of tests she had, and their results.
From the neurologic perspective, pseudoseizures are labeled as such usually when the patient has the “movements” while having an EEG running and no abnormal brain waves are recorded.
