Avatar f tn I had a seizure at work about 2 weeks ago, there is no history of seizures in my family and since that has happened I have felt great. I have been under alot of stress lately as my mother-n-law passed away unexpectedly 2 months ago and then my daughter was hospitalized 3 weeks ago for her Crohns disease which ended up progressing, besides that over the past 2 years I have lost my house, lost my job well I finally found one a couple of months ago, so I think I have been totally stressed out.
Avatar f tn My brother-in-law gets most of his seizures while he is sleeping. As far as I know it is just the way that your seizures come. You just have to take regular anti-seizure drugs to take care of it. As I am not a doctor please don't take my advice instead of seeing a doctor. Please feel free to come back and update us.

Avatar f tn My brother-in-law is a huge idiot. He has been having seizures since he was about 19. He really stupid and sits around and get drunk and high all day long. Most of the time his seizures take place at night, thank god I have never witnessed one. About 6 months ago he had one at work, and not long after that he had one while he was driving. His friend saved his life, if his friend hadn't been there...I can't even think about it, it makes me too sad.
401370 tn?1233324682 First of all, any officer of the law, in order to treat any inmate, has to be certified in CPR, First Aid, and alot of other procedures, and this is especially ONE of them! It's common in inmates who are detoxing cold turkey off of strong meds like morphine, and even worse on heroine!
Avatar m tn Well last week, I came home from work and was standing in the doorway having a conversation with my mother-in-law when I all of sudden got a feeling of standing up to fast (but I had been standing there for at least 5 to 10 mins) Everything went black and I woke up laying on the ground and she was standing over me yelling my name, She said I looked very confused, and I couldnt answer her for a few mins.
Avatar n tn My fiance had a seizure back when he was 22, a grand mal seizure. lost conciousness and breath, they had to revive him on the way to the ER ect. That was 5 years ago and nothing since then has happened untill here recently. They never did put a diagnosis as to what exactly caused that seizure so it was sort of let go and forgotten about. Well about six months ago he had another one that was just as bad. He ended up in the hospital and was even discharged from the Navy.
Avatar f tn My brother-in-law has been seizure free for almost 8 months. That is up until yesterday. He had a seizure. I think he freaked out about my sister and brother-in-law, and their daughter, and how close the came to death. He doesn't handle stress very well, and he usually turns to drinking. He is so mad, as he always gets when seizures happen to him. I can't talk to him right now, but hopefully I will be able to soon.
Avatar m tn Finally one day at work I had a grand mal seizure witnessed by several co-workers. I went to the ER and it was confirmed I had a grand mal seizure. My neurologist put me on Lamactal and said there isn't always a reason people have seizures - does this mean it could be epilepsy? I now have short term memory loss and am in my final 30-day PIP plan for poor performance at my job due to my memory loss. I fear I'll lose any job I obtain because of my medical condition.
Avatar f tn My sister in law is diagnosed with trigeminal neuralgia ... she is currently on Pregalin 75 for 6 weeks ???
Avatar f tn i also have epliletic tonicclonic seizures and been in that situation once before and my doctor said that i shouldnt be driving i dont know the law in texas i live in new england and up here u have to be seizure free for three yrs and have a dr release card along with ur drivers license but in ur husband case if his doctor send a report to dmv then yes they can revoke it till he has his documents to reinstate it but in the mean time if hes having them still even if he misses a dose or not maybe
183202 tn?1219853659 Mixed with my messed up Autonomic Nervous System and CNS, I think it just put my body out of wack so it caused a psychogenic/physiological/psychological nonepileptic seizure. Not a seizure necessarilly, just seizure-like. A person can experience what seems to be seizure auras, space out, and go into convulsion like spells, and sometimes may pass out and other times not. It makes the most sense...
Avatar f tn Doctors and therapists have no law -- or little law. They are self regulated by their own trade associations. The only thing usually an individual can do if there's significant financial consequences is sue for malpractice, but if there's not a lot of money involved no lawyer will take the case.
Avatar f tn Shes been very ill since birth. Shes having seizure after seizure. The screen was full. They tried taking her off of the breathing machine last week and it didn't work. She is unconscious and in one last attempt to save her they want to induce a coma and see if that along with something else works to stop the seizures. Its not looking good and at this point the dr is just trying things to see if they will work. But shes already suffered enough and been thru enough.
Avatar f tn Hi, A normal EEG does not at all mean that one did not have a seizure. During a seizure, the electrical activity is abnormal. Once the seizure is over, the brain rapidly returns to normal in most individuals. When an EEG is done several hours or even days later, it misses the changes in electrical activity that occurred during the actual seizure. But you mentioned that during EEG, there was muscle twitching but the EEG was normal.
Avatar m tn Sounds more like a minor seizure to me. They should see a neurologist first before any other doctor.
498656 tn?1213446919 Since, she has been drinking as ussual and had a seizure a month ago and then experienced double vision. CT Scan showed nothing and then vision cleared. Last week her boyfriend (enabler) found her inthe floor and took her to the ER. Mild heart attack. While on the cardiac floor the 1st day started seizures and has been having them since 8 days. She was on life support and seizures stopped for 35 hrs or so and I called her in the ICU and she had a seizure today while I was on with her.
Avatar n tn Our daughter-in-law has a seizure disorder/epilepsy that she has had since she was 2 years old. She has a 15-month-old son (our grandson) who we are trying to protect from being put at risk in case she would have a seizure while she is alone with him. She has had 4 grand mal seizures in the past year - the last one just 4 months ago - and her original Neurologist told her in August that she should not live alone or drive for a minimum of 6 months.
Avatar f tn Def when I would take ultram on top of anything. My muscles always jerked from that. Also, my mother in law has a SERIOUS ultram addiction, we were coming home from vacation and all of a sudden she had a grand Mal seizure lasting around 5 min. long. She had 3-4 over the last year, that we know about. So she told her doc who prescribes them, by force BTW, and he says ultram doesnt cause seizures unless your predisposed.
Avatar m tn I currently take 500mg a day, plus other seizure medication. Sometimes doctor's increase medication based on age/weight and other conditions. Is she taking other anti-seizure medication as well?
Avatar f tn Our son-in-law had a seizure last Wednesday and fell from a standing position to the ground resulting in a closed head injury. He has never had a seizure before and told his boss he felt "funny" like he'd been drinking. The ER doctor did a spinal tap, on Thursday, that he said was one of the easiest he'd ever done but all 4 vials were blood red. They did another spinal tap on Monday with an anesthesiologist doing the procedure.
Avatar f tn I did this for five years and when i movedni could no longer find benzos but was having grand mal seizures where i broke my back in my first in four disk compression fractures and almost weekly hospital seizure, so the dumb *** i am i took my life inti my own hands and ordered a benzo but now i call poison. I cannot go even one day this drug ClonazOLAM not clonazopam. I took 10 milligrams of xanax that cannot even step to 1mg of clonazolam.
Avatar m tn One is a simple partial seizure. A simple seizure is the one in which the patient is aware throughout. And partial means, only some body parts show movements. The second one is Sleep paralysis. I was wondering if you have got your EEG done. EEG is a good test to show epileptic discharges in the brain.
