Avatar f tn In the meantime get a notebook and log the experiences and the duration. In some people these are triggered by light on the optic nerve, usually flickering light and usually (but not always) in the red spectrum (blink lights on a fire engine, or the flicker of a flourescent bulb or a CRT computer screen are common culprits). Wearing dark or polarized eyeglasses sometimes helps with the problem.
Avatar f tn My suggestion would be to log everything about the seizure from what brings it on to how long it last. Also, log how long the dog is stiff afterwards. Pretty much anything you can log will help the vet. Also if possible videotape the next epsiode to show your vet exactly what is happening. My vet told me to help the dog during this to take them to a quiet room with no noise or bright flashy lights.
Avatar n tn i want to know if there are other solutions that are effective. also if there is something good to do during a seizure. i give her a spoonful of natural van ice cream after each one. is that okay or good?
Avatar n tn However, my wife only has seizures during her drinking binges, and never when in withdrawal. Almost like clockwork, I can tell when she is going to have a seizure by how much she drinks. 1.5 pints of hard liquor = seizure. As one might expect, she denies that her drinking has anything to do with her seizures. If anyone has any insight on why she is having these episodes during her drinking binges, please let me know...
Avatar n tn When he went to the kitchen for juice, he let out a scream and collapsed and began to have a seizure. The paramedics came and we got his blood sugar up with orange juice mixed with sugar and an IV, he spent 6 hours in the emergency room. My questions are #1 did he have any pain when he screamed out? He doesn't remember anything and even though I think I handled the situation, I was terrified. #2 How can we avoid this from ever happening again?
Avatar f tn My 6 month old granddaughter has had 3 seizures in the last month. They start with her eyes rolling up to the right and her entire body shaking. It typically lasted 30-60 seconds. She is alert and active after the episode. So I wasn't even sure she had a seizure. So I took her to her dr. today and was told she will be referred to a pediatric neurologist but that the wait period will be 5 months!
Avatar n tn There is no pattern or noticable frequency to these headaches which leads me to believe it is not medicine-related. Could this be another form of seizure or is this common with this type of epilepsy? Could these be some form of migraines? I get migraines and, other than the nausea and vomiting, they didn't really sound like migraines. What could this be?
Avatar f tn There are myoclonic seizures that are progressive and Jacksonian seizures start in a limb. Sounds like seizure activity, but make a log of the symptoms, activities, food, etc. This can help, MD figure things out. Sleeping alot after a seizure is normal. I have known people who sleep alot during the day to have sleep apnea and develop seizures from lack of oxygen during the night... Important to get a work up in addition to your thyroid workup.
Avatar f tn I did get an electroencephalogram (EEG) to see if I had abnormal brain waves that indicate seizure. My EEG is positive for migriane/seizure pattern but I have migraines and auras plus the shakes at times. I would stop all caffiene or at least any extra and see if that helps. If he get this again I would talk to the doctor and maybe see a neurologist to be sure.
Avatar n tn Your description is toward complex partial seizure and not absence seizure.
5690865 tn?1372451618 It did, and then I let my vision go completely black and I blacked out, but I remember hitting a log on my way down with my head, just not the pain. I blacked out for maybe for 5 or 10 minutes? not sure, forgot to ask. I got to go home early, but I felt completely fine, no concussion, no repercussions, I felt great, better than I did earlier that morning. My vision hasn't scrambled like that again since.
533629 tn?1213528073 does anyone know where to look at a log chart that goes all the way down to 0 or at least the hundreds.
Avatar f tn HI Zazza can you tell me what the log drop is for 13,500,000 to 186? Thanks in advance.

Avatar m tn ive known ive had hep c for about 2 years but know i contacted it 22 years ago. my viral log came back as 6.455.is that tremendously high and does it mean i''ll have to do the treatments.
Avatar n tn My primary Dr. ran a quantitative count on my HCV came back a log 10 this was about 8 weeks ago, I was sent to another Dr. they did more blood work and the log count came back at a 5. Please note no change in habits no treatments nothing I was told by the Dr. that it can fluctuate I can see where it could but is possible for it to fluctuate that much?
Avatar n tn Today at school particularly got me worried. My math teacher had us stand up and pose what the graph of a log function looked like. I felt myself blacking out and the next thing i remember was my teacer asking me if i was okay. I said yes and sat down. When I sat down my brain felt like it was a heart, POUNDING! and the back left side had a piercing pain. My brain honestly feels like it is swollen and pressure is building. I came home and was doing homework then got up to walk to subway.
626360 tn?1221955245 We are going to start the diary so that we can have a log so to speak for the doctor, I am going to request she see a specialist. They said that nothing came up on the EEG but they still say they are seizures. Its very scary for myself as well as my baby. She doesnt sleep well alot of the time she is up most of the night.
1570846 tn?1295829627 Hi Jenny, Your daughters seizure could have been down to the fall and please god it was a once off and will never happen again. Do keep a diary and do let her doctors know what''s going on. My son has Epilepsy and Chiari. They say it's not connected but his symptoms for both conditions started around the same time. When he's having a seizure one side of his mouth rises abnormally. and then he goes into full Tonic Clonic seizure. But as I said..
Avatar f tn I have been taking xanax for 10 years now I take at least 5 2mg a day. I had a seizure once trying to come off and I have no doctor.
