492869 tn?1285018933 A fainting episode I experienced a little over a year ago caused a concussion that resulted in a mild seizure disorder. Though my seizure disorder is now well controlled by Zonegran, the drug itself causes mental fatigue. Approximately two weeks ago, I had another concussion. My mother returned home from work only to find me unconscious in the stairwell, and called Emergency. I am now recovering from a post-concussive head injury.
Avatar f tn None of them have shown any incidences of seizures. I have never had a full-blown seizure or blacked out or anything similar--just a headache. _____ Results of my last one was: The last one stated that the best background activity identified during the recording was 9 - 9 Hz which was symmetric bilaterally and was reactive to eye opening and stimulation. Photic stimulation didn't cause significant abnormlities.
Avatar f tn My 6 year old had a seizure Monday night and was taken to the ER where we were admitted. EEG was done that gave us diag. On the seizure disorder but they also found out he had a Chiari I. After hey did an MRI. The neurologist didn't really go into much detail about it and I left with so many questions and feelings. We were told hat the radiologist measured it at 9mm. I don't even know what hat means.
Avatar f tn Eventually it is not practice to give such helmets it seems. It will be a challenge to find some shop in India. But I will use the website you gave and will try to solve my problem. Thank you very much.
Avatar n tn He could seriously hurt himself. They make helmets for children who do this. At one years old he cannot follow directions very well if at all so it is unrealistic to expect him to listen to you about this. The best way to get him to stop is to make it impossible for him to hurt himself. A talk with his pediatrician is needed quickly. Good luck!
Avatar m tn I honestly don't know how to overcome it. Less traumas.... Wear motorcycle helmets, wear car seatbels, etc. No drugs, alcohol.... sounds good to me.
Avatar f tn Thank you so much. I will be sure to not share any of my baby's things with them then.
467126 tn?1283144858 Over time baby's head will get flat. Some babies have to wear special helmets if this happens because the brain tissue can be exposed to damage. That is EXTREME case. I had my girls lay on their backs, but would make sure they had equal time on both sides of their heads. Their heads were beautifully round and perfect. Whenever I started to notice one side getting more flat than the other I'd just switch. Their heads are very soft because the skull bones have not fused together yet.
738075 tn?1330575844 t that sweet?). I kept cool with occasional swims, and my cool tie, and the hubster pouring helmets-full of water over me! I reported the wild stuff to my neuro, including the whack in the head a couple of weeks ago. He did a brief exam, and said I looked stable to him. Well, good!
Avatar m tn my parents had been to the vet and when I got home I sat with him while he suffered 4 more seizures I decided that I could not see him suffer and we went to vet and tio got the jag to sleep as u can imagine has been upsetting. my question is I found out when he took the first seizure When I was home with himhe struggled to do a poo outside and it looked strange.
Avatar m tn I don't think people who have a seizure remember the seizure, but he definitely had something. Maybe it's a thyroid problem. He needs to be seen, but an ER is the slowest, most expensive and least efficient way to do it.
Avatar m tn It does still fit the description of a seizure. Not all seizures involve paddling, slobbering and loss of bladder control. Those are basically what are considered to be grand mal seizures. Petite mal seizures can be anything from a twitching of the head to a state of catatonia for a brief time, which sounds more or less like what your girl had. Please let us know what the vet says when you do get to take her in. Good luck to you!

Avatar f tn Hello. You have done a good job by bringing this to the forum. There is a possibility of a partial seizure. But you should also consider something called as eye tics. These are not so uncommon in infants. You may need to get an EEG done. A video EEG is preferred. It has the advantage of letting us see the brain waves during such an episode or up rolling of eyes. Did he have any significant birth complications?
Avatar m tn my stepdad has been recently diagnosed with a seizure disorder. He feels more sick on the medication than he did beforehand. Hes constantly throwing up from being so nauseous , he explains what he says his limbs are gonna explode, he also gets pounding headaches. He is on 1500mg 2x daily. Anyone else experience anything like this??
Avatar f tn when i FINALLY got an after hours vet on the phone the advise was that it was probably a seizure and to give her 1/4 of a motrin. does this sound correct and what would cause a seizure in a perfectly healthy dog ?
Avatar n tn A few minutes later he was throwing up. Then got really tired afterwards. He does have a seizure disorder. And is taking medication 2 times a day. Why did this happen? Im scared and don't really know what to do. Was it the weed that made him do this, or the medication he's taking? I don't want him to do it again but I'm afraid he'll want to and that one of these times he's not gonna gain consciousness....
