seizure types terminology

Partner had a stroke april 21 but only this last 6mths she has had 1/2 episodes where she has gone to laugh and had one i would describe as a seizure - she stares and goes red as though struggling to breath then 10ish secs later she is absolutely fine- anyone else had similar

t really know the answer but I found a picture of different types of lesions and it included confluent lesion (which does seem to mean that they are grouping together or becoming joined). It seems to come up a lot on sites talking about the elderly and strokes but it may also be common in MS. Now let's see if I can get a link on here (no promises) http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/core/lw/2.0/html/tileshop_pmc/tileshop_pmc_inline.html?

her mom experienced the same episodes when she was young and saw all sorts of specialists about it but never found a direct answer i agree that it is seizure like i am familiar with medical terminology and such as i have an administrative medical degree but her mom insists its not a big issue but i completely disagree

You can search medications alphabeticaly on webmd and it will give you lots of good info without too much confusing medical terminology. It is hard to say if it works or not, because just about all medicines work for some people and not for others. It seems to be a trial and error sort of thing. Good luck.

I just recently found out that I am diabetic in January and I do not know all of the terminology yet. I have been having surgery every other Wednesday since the last week in January for my kidneys and haven't had time to take some classes to teach me about my diabetes. I've been having problems with my kidneys for about six years and while I was in the hospital for it, they found out that I had diabetes, and believed that it was the cause of my kidney problems.

gov/pubmed/8780061 Anyway, up until that point clinical trials were hampered by a lack of agreement on the types of MS and the definitions of those types. It was thought that since MS is such a heterogeneous disease, mixing up different types in one clinical trial would lead to inaccurate results. Given the lack of biomarkers for MS (e.g.

I was thinking seizure-free, but some people would probaly like to keep track of their seizures.

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.

For the seizure tracker I would like a tracker that could keep track of how often i have seizures and also a way to keep track of the type of seizure the person has. I have four different types of seizures plus I have auras. Also a place to note whether an injury occured from the seizure would be nice. I have given myself concussions from the worst seizures. I also take xanax when I get an aura (when I feel a bad seizure coming on) so a way to track that would also be nice since it is related.

Infections and fever can make an otherwise healthy individual more prone to have a seizure. a single episode of seizure cannot be marked as epilepsy. An EEG to ensure that there are no structural abnormalities in brain. Normal EEG and MRI brain are encouraging though this does not rule out a future episode. You need to consult a physician for investigating any underlying infectious condition, high or low blood sugar, injury, electrolyte imbalance, drug withdrawal syndrome etc.

Yes, I might know some of the terminology ..... if you are referring to the terminology in your initial post. Not sure what part but here goes ... a nodule would be small (not a mass), irregular margins I'm sure you know but any time something is noted to have irregular margins it only raises suspicion but doesn't necessarily mean cancerous, noted to be lobulated would appear like a bunch of grapes. This density is located under the areloa or behind it.

There are some that involve staring off and only last a minute or two. Some involved stiffening of the body only. Google seizure types. The only way to tell if it is a true seizures is having an eeg within 24 hours of the seizure, it will show abnormal brain activity. My brothers seizures always show in the right temporal lobe of the brain. His are controlled now with antiseizure meds. If you have seizures pregnancy can make them worse. You need to see a neurologist for proper diagnosis.

This was when I had some again and this time I had a seizure. I have since then worked out that I can have about five drags of a spliff and then ill be high. I know this sounds really bad but I miss the feeling of cannabis. Every time I have some though, even if ive only had a few, I get that same feeling like I did when I had a seizure and once or twice I think ive had another one.

What you described certainly seems like a seizure, probably what is often known as a grand mal seizure. Getting him to a neurologist is very important at this point; seizures that last long can be dangerous for a variety of reasons. Presumably he'll be evaluated, the cause of the seizures identified, and treatment begun.

Likewise there is a known link between certain types of statins and pain in the joints. May I suggest talking to your fathers Doctor as in mst cases a change in medication maybe all that is required to relieve the side effects. As for the angioplasty itself, whilst there are risks as there are with all types of similar procedures, the alternative is not really an option ie greater narrowing of the blood vessels etc.

Could be a panic attack, but it also sounds like you may have had a seizure. There are many different types of seizures, and all the symptoms you described are things that can and do happen during a seizure. I would definitely go to the doctor about this.

then 8 months ago i developed these seizure types and a burning itchy feeling all over my body.they thought it was pseudo fits at first until they had a video of it then said it wasnt..any ideas please i cant cope with it all any longer.

Primary Generalized Seizure, Absence Seizure, Atypical Absence Seizure, Myoclonic Seizure, Atonic Seizure, Tonic Seizure, Clonic Seizure, Tonic-Clonic Seizure, Partial Seizure, Simple-Partial Seizure, Complex-Partial Seizure, Secondary Generalized Seizure, Psychogenic Seizure, and Hypoxic Seizure.

Hi there. There are different types of epilepsy with different characteristics like grand mal epilepsy you have tonic clonic generalized muscle contractions, frothing, unconsciousness, twitches, metal confusion, some may lose bladder and bowel control, usually preceded by an aura of impending seizure. aura is a strange feeling of muscle stiffening, hearing weird sounds, smelling strange smells etc.

Definition of adenocarinoma Cancer that begins in the epithelial cells, which line certain internal organs and have glandular (secretory) properties. Some types of adenocarcinomas include cancers of the breast, thyroid, colon, stomach, pancreas, and prostate, as well as certain types of lung cancer. definition of carcinoma Classification of carcinoma Carcinoma, like all neoplasia, is classified by its histopathological appearance.

You are on a high dose now, so tapering slowly and switching to klonopin at the end and some anti seizure medication the very last week is what you have to do, and have all of this monitored closely by your doctor. I would suggest tapering in phases...phase one getting down to the 1 -2 mgs level/day, and learning how to sleep without xanax, maybe substituting some short term use of ambien if necessary.
