Avatar f tn Last year after marriage the frequency increased. Thrice in 3 months. We went to a different doc. He said that he had primary generalized seizure or a right right frontal focus with hemispheric bisynchrony. He also said that carbamazepine is not right medication for it so slowly changed it to kepra. My husband dint have seizures for 5 months. After carbamazepine was completely stopped and he was completely on kepra , he got seizure. He takes 3700 MG ok kepra per day.
Avatar f tn The episodes have increased in the recent past...and i have to take Lamosyn first thing in the morning to avoid the seizure early morning. And sometimes..(esp end of my menstrual cycle)...I have to take sometimes even 200 mg thrice a day too as they keep on recurring. I don't know what to do..and how to control it. My doctor is in Apollo Delhi, and after marriage i have shifted to Bangalore...so will be going to a neurologist very soon. Any suggestions..pls help.
Avatar m tn That morning, he woke up very lethargic acting, and slept all throughout the day, not eating anything or wanting to drink anything. Then in the early evening, he had a major seizure. This time, he had three of them in a row, and afterward, was back to lethargic. As money is tight because of Christmas, we had no money to take him to the vet until today.
Avatar f tn 08 she had a seizure. We rushed her to the vet. She stiffened up but at the same time was shaking, drooling, lost control of her bowels and had a faraway look in her eyes. The vet said she had an epileptic seizure and gave her some Valium for me to give her if she has another seizure. All has been well until tonight(10-13-08). I was reading on the net that dogs do not have epilepsy, it is strictly a human condition. I want to believe my vet but....
Avatar m tn Good morning! My sister Maruja was diagnosed to have a scar on the brain caused by an EGG of an SCHISTOSOMIASIS bacteria as per MRI result of the DIVINE WORD HOSPITAL in Tacloban City, Philippines. Maruja is 35 years old, and had a seizure for the first time two months ago. She is now in Hongkong working as a domestic helper to find a living for her family. She is taking anti- seizure medicine 3 times a day so that she could escape from seizure attack.
Avatar n tn Hi a Pitbull pup 9 months old we saved last weekend, who was covered in ticks, possibly with tick fever, was put on Doxydog, yesterday he started getting seizures, no matter what medication, no matter what the vet did, it got worse and worse, this morning 4 times in half an hour, we just put him out of his misery.
Avatar n tn i had my bottom right wisdom tooth extracted, got dry socket and a infection and when i got back to my home town i had to go back to a dentist and get the rest off the tooth taken out that the other dentist missed 1 week later i had the first seizure in my life and now i have had 2 or more seizures a month for the last 7 months what did the dentist do to cause this to happened
Avatar f tn i had a grandmal seizure while driving and got mine back in a year.check in your state to see how long you have to be seizure free.i wouldent go to your psiciatrist for the approval for driving.i went abou 3yrs seizure free with out meds,but they came back .why if you go seizure free for 2yrs would they reduce your meds for 6 months?
Avatar m tn Every hospital in the United States will treat a patient regardless of the ability to pay. So this is a nonsense story about "not having insurance". If you go to the ER you will get a bill. If you have no money you request the bill to be charged under the Hill-Burton Act. Clinics in New York see patients without the ability to pay for a flat ten dollars. And by the way, under Obamacare it is mandated that he purchase insurance. I am concerned he might have a tumor or brain bleed.
Avatar f tn I am 14 years old and have passed out in the shower one time before, but i could still hear things, my vision just got very blurry. This time i was in the shower in the morning and i began to become very dizzy, and normally when this happens i just put my hands on the walls and close my eyes. Once i did this next thing i knew i woke up sitting on my shower floor with my hair tangled on my shower knob, holding my head up.
Avatar f tn The seizures started 4am yesterday morning so we did the usual to prepare him for what was to come for the day however by 12 30 am the next morning he was still having seizures getting increasingly more intense. The vet again said all he could do was suggest was more testing we unfortunately still can't afford.so all we could do was keep him comfortable at home. By 1am the last seizure hadn't passed. Now 12 hours later he hasn't recovered.
Avatar m tn Thank you. Since he was acting normal, I took him to the vet the next morning. His eye was pretty much open all the way by that point. Everything's checked out ok. The vet didn't think there was a need for x-rays based on his exam and my dog's behavior. He had some inflammation in his eye, which I think he already had from allergies and he told us to use Neo Poly Dex drops for that. His eye looks fine now. I think I probably got him primarily in the cheek.
Avatar f tn Epilepsy is a recurrent seizure disorder caused by abnormal electrical discharges from brain cells, often in the cerebral cortex. A seizure disorder affects about 0.5% of the population. A single seizure does not mean that someone has epilepsy. I hope this helps. Take care and keep us posted.
Avatar f tn I was ready to walk out the door for work at 8 in the morning, and was talking to my mom at the kitchen table. I had been standing throughout this brief conversation, and went to open the backdoor, when all of a sudden I felt like my stomach had dropped (like on a rollercoaster) and I felt not only lightheaded, but light all over my body. I walked towards a chair to sit down, but before I made it, I fell to the ground. I woke to my mom calling 911.
Avatar f tn Last night I was 45 minutes late to giving my dog the phenbarbatol ( sp), and his thyroid medication. This morning he had a mild seizure, first one that I am awear of since 3 months. Could being late have caused it this morning? I added a quarter more medication today to each of his dose ( twice a day). I called the vet and they want to recheck his blood levels, which I will do next week.
Avatar n tn When the term white mater is used in reference to the nervous system, it means the part of the brain which is myelinated. Myelin is a fatty substance normally present in the brain and nerves and helps in proper functioning of the nerves and for proper propogation of nerve impulses. If your doctor said that she has white hings in the brain, then he probably means that there are some spots of calcification.
491030 tn?1242424766 I often have big swings in mood, mostly towards the bottom of the barrel than the top. But sometimes I can be days at the top too, which is fine with me.... I would never dream of stopping anything cold turkey from choice, but sometimes things happen, and they won't re-fill until it's "time" and The meds are all wickedly expensive. Maybe I should get an anti-seizure med just in case, like just 2 or 3 of them. I certainly don't want to experience a seizure...
11928406 tn?1431049111 Have you had seizures before? Sounds like the symptoms you get if you had a seizure in ur sleep...
823201 tn?1240121636 its very hard to deal with. i find myself staying up all night until he wakes up in the morning just so i can be up if he does have another seizure (since for some reason ALL his seizures have been around 730 AM--too weird) and also because i am truely terrified laying in bed in pitch black next to him now...thats a whole new discussion. but i am seriously terrified...i have tried but every little movement he would make i would just lay there and try to listen to make sure he is ok. its crazy..
Avatar f tn EMS was called and he was taken to the ER. at first they did a cat scan with contrast that was normal. the next morning they did an MRI with contrast. they found a 1.1cm right temporal lobe 'lesion'. the doctor said it "did not" enhance with contrast and that it had "no rings". also, all his blood work came back normal. does anybody have any idea on what this could possibly be or what the treatment could be?
Avatar f tn t looked at a light source, and I have been hallucinating since the seizure. I would like to know if I should visit the emergency room, or if I can just tough this out.
Avatar n tn The doctor told us he had epilepsy and prescribed a medicine which has to be given 2 times a day. After that he still used to have the seizures and the frequency was usually 2-3 times in 3 months, and the seizures were usually cluster seizures. He had a cluster seizure 2 nights ago and died the next morning. He died aged 7.
Avatar f tn I know. It totally *****. I inherited mine from my grandmother last year when she passed. This dog has tonic clonic seizures about once a month. He has had anywhere between 1 to 3 at a time, and they're always nocturnal. He knows it is coming as he perks up and gets out of bed. Within 10 minutes or so he's having them. I, too, have Epilepsy. So, I have some experience with this. This is a really crappy disease that gets very little attention in the medical community.
