seizure of computer evidence

I believe that it may have been triggered by the light on my computer screen however I have no evidence to support that belief. Looking at the computer screen or lights in general made me extremely dizzy. During this time, I was unable to concentrate very well and unable to focus on looking at objects. Within this 40minutes to an hour of cross-eyed like vision, I had to drive a car for about 2 minutes, and I could not focus on the cars in front of me.

I would suggest observing your seizure activity while on the computer. Does it seem like they occur more excessively & rapidly after a certain time? More than normal? It can be a pain but I suggest keeping a daily journal to help you figure out your personal triggers.

ordered tests for lupus, RA and gout (which all came back negative, but my WBC and platelet count were abnormally high) then in August of 2007, I had a seizure (tonic w/o clonic symptoms) of short duration (about 20 minutes), I was hospitalized overnight, scheduled for an EEG and CT of brain which did not give any indication as to why I had a seizure, I was not given a seizure diagnosis at that time, just seizure of unknown origin, no meds given at this time for this, then in June of 2008 (10 m

It started a few months ago, i was just laying in bed and then my arm started feeling weird, like a pulse or something and it was completely out of rythm with my heart. I tried turning on a light to see it, but by the time lights were on the feeling was gone. This happened a few more times over a month but they lasted so short, i couldnt get to see it. Then after a month, i was playing the xbox then i could feel it again.

The fact she had an episode while on the computer also suggests that stimulation of her optic nerve is the problem. Try a polarized computer screen. They are inexpensive and fit over the existing screens. They are sold for privacy purposes (you can't view the screen from an angle).

I have been having problems with busy patterns (oriental carpets etc), supermarket shelves with rows of stuff on and high contrast text on the computer screen (white on black). They seem to flicker a bit when looknig at them like its information overload. It resolves if I close either eye. I have visited Optomoterists, Opthalmologists and and a neurologist. I had lots of eye tests, everything is normal.

//books.google.com/books?id=mNT577S8uywC&pg=PA193 Outdoor activity is said to limit the progression to a certain extend: http://www.ophsource.org/periodicals/ophtha/article/S0161-6420%2807%2901364-4/abstract And: it's healthy anyway, won't do any harm and doesn't cost any money.

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. In a seizure center they test you by having you view a light source that varies in wavelength and then in frequency while keeping you wired to an EEG. Keep us posted.

Hi, I had an episode of seizure (Grand Mal) over a month ago. I was prescribed Dilantin. Since I ake my meds, I feel grogy, I have difficulty walking normal (people ask my why I limp) and if I try to walk normaly, my head seems to spin. My index finger twitch when I work too much on the computer or when I am tired. Is this normal or I was prescribed the wrong medication?

There is no major drug use reported, and no history in the family of epilepsy or any other seizure disorder. What could have caused this?

Maybe you should let your regular doc do some labwork to see where your vitamin and mineral numbers are at, becuz hopefully your B12 or perhaps a couple other things aren't up to par anymore, so continuing to get a blood draw is likely a good idea. And the seizure thing is a very real possibility, so do not be afraid. There is some kind of seizure where it's described the way you did, a kind of surprise thing like you said, but I've forgotten the name now.

Today after watching a couple college softball videos on my computer i got up to go get a drink of water. When i got up my whole entire vision went completely black and my body started shaking. It was not shaking like i was having a seizure it was shaking in different places at different times. Like my arm would start shaking and then my leg would. After about 30 seconds of this happening my body lost balance and i fell to the ground.

His doctor is somewhat correct, an EEG test doesn't always confirm epilepsy or a seizure disorder unless he's having activity related to a seizure at the time of the test. All of his EEG's and MRI's may show no evidence of seizures, however, that doesn't mean ignore his seizures, he needs treatment. Sometimes a seizure will leave evidence of a stroke which may or may not show up on an MRI. It doesn't sound like your husband is having strokes.

Your computer more than likely set your seizes off. I have had them because of the computer. The flickering of the screen will set them off. I also found out that I often would have seizures during a movie in the theater. I asked my doctor and he said that it was from the picture. The naked eye doesn't see each frame of the picture because it is so fast. It works like a strobe light. There were times that I would not remember any of the movie or just parts of it.

m afraid) said that he complained of not feeling well and his hand jerked a couple of times as he held the computer mouse. He does not remember having anything to eat prior to that, although he did eat the day before (at home, on Easter). I talked to him at the hospital about three minutes after he arrived, he appeared to be tired and cranky, but not disoriented at that time.

The doctors dont think its feveral seizures (neither do I), he doesnt have a temperature to begin with, but sometimes has a slight temperature after/during the seizure. He has had an MRI and EKG done, there is some evidence to a seizure disorder, but the doctors are not looking into the body temperature factor. When he has a seizure he doesnt sweat and just goes blank, and most recently has vomited. They only last 1-4 minutes. Please let me know if you have heard of anything like this.

So if you were seizing whilst having an EEG the results should be abnormal if causation is from abnormal brain activity, and normal if its not. Absent seizure and psuedo seizure may sound or seem the same but technically and visually they are very different, absent seizures just like epileptic seizures, usually generate the telling spike and wave pattern on the EEG.

I personally never had a connection between flashing lights and I never did stop using the computer...it was part of my job! I am on meds, maybe that is why?? who knows but no seizure problems with these things for me.

Well, first of all, I hope you have cut waaaay back on the hours you spend in front of the computer. Next, I think you are indeed having a seizure, despite what the EEGs and MRI did not show. Looks like your doc could just give it a try and medicate you with a standard epilepsy medication, just to see how you do... if he won't do it, find a doctor who will. If you are left-handed when you use the mouse, switch to the right hand for at least a month.

Hey there, I recently checked out the Natural Medicines Comprehensive Database to check for interactions with your current medications & did not identify any problems if you decide to take Evening Primrose. The increase in the incidence of seizures has occurred with drugs called "phenothiazines" (eg. chlorpromazine, thioridazine etc) and not with Seroquel (Quetiapine). However, I do caution against using Evening Primrose Oil for hair loss.

Hi, Your symptoms suggest of a Grand mal seizure. Please wait for EEG and consult a neurologist for confirmation of diagnosis and treatment. A grand mal seizure is often followed by a period of confusion and delirium for a few days. You doctor is right in saying that you must not drive because you may have such seizures again. You should not drive unless you are free from seizures for a period of 6 months after taking treatment. Please take proper treatment. Hope this helps you.

Watching a Movie, in front of computer etc. I also seem to be tensing my stomach muscles while driving for some reason. Am I having a stroke, epilepsy or what the hell is going on??

Sounds like yours maybe went through histologic transformation as some point? It sounds like they are going to do localized radiation on you since they only saw evidence of lymphoma in one spot on the PET. I know that when first diagnosed if it is grade 1, or in a very localized area they can hit it with radiation, but I didn't know they could do that with relapsed/refractory lymphoma. You really should check out the Lymphoma Research Foundation's website. Go to www.lymphoma.

However, my 23 year old son has experienced 5 seizures in the past year and with each one of them he was exposed to a lot of construction dust. He suddenly had his first seizure 1 year ago when we started a major remodel in our home. I feel strongly that there is some connection to him developing seizures and our remodel, whether it be an allergy or exposure to some toxin. Do you have any documentation linking allergies with seizures?

s where a lot of the evidence of the dangers of stopping benzos cold turkey came from -- a psychiatrist in England who had worked at a rehab facility. Perhaps you could get your psychiatrist involved, or copy the information about the dangers of quitting benzos cold turkey. Of course, it's probably just as stupid to cold turkey quit methadone, but that's what these facilities do. Good luck.

She was initially diagnosed with severe dehydration but then they found evidence of a stroke from the brain scan. They also said she had dementia and brain shrinkage. Mom had just started showing signs of memory loss prior to the seizure. Think there must have been some issues in the brain that were undetected prior to this. A lot of info that I cannot connect as one diagnosis.

The other day I actually got up from the computer and got scotch tape from the kitchen so I could tape a piece of paper over a part of the computer just so I could finish typing a brief message to a forum friend. I guess this is one of the reasons I am so glad you do not offer "moving" smiley faces and the like. I find them so distracting that I usually won't read a post on other sites on the Internet if those smiley faces are running all over the post!

s on a really high dose of seizure meds it was very obvious that there was still a lot of seizure activity going on. (This was on the computer screen.. didn't see any facial changes) So.. without building up your hopes I would be a little pleased that there was no obvious activity during EEG. I think your daughter is going to have to learn that sometimes we need a little help to have a 'normal' life. But I know this is hard for a teenager to understand.

Hi and welcome, Your still in your teens so it's unlikely to be PPMS, the average diagnostic age is in the 40-50 age group because PPMS causes a 'slow' disease progression and it usually takes decades before the accumulative affects become evident. Theoretically for your age you'd still be withing the age range of pediatric MS, even rarer than PPMS but the diagnostic rules of RRMS would still apply....
