Avatar m tn * The symptoms and early warning signs to prevent a diabetic seizure? * Does your BF have a home glucose test meter? Know the proper testing times? Know the normal test values? * When feeling the onset of a seizure has he/you tested his blood sugar levels? * Does he understand and follow a strict diabetes control and management - diet, weight, exercise? These are items an Endo can go over with him and you to help get his diabetes under better control.
327385 tn?1378360731 it starts throughout the brain more or less at once). If you have a warning before your seizure, and if your face droops before your seizure, these indicate that your seizure may be starting in a specific area of the brain (likely involving the face area) then spreading to become generalized, leading to a grand mal. Whether or not a seizure is partial (another term is focal seizure) from the onset helps determine which medications should be used.

Avatar m tn now if i get deja vu i know its a warning sign a seizure is comming. i get the tengling feeling something like cold chills under my scalp. sometimes i get so sick to my stomach it feels so real. i just wanted to share my symptoms as someone with epilepsy. i use to have all my seizures while i was sleeping , now i have them while im awake. have you ever woke up sore and so tired you just cant hardley move? deja vu is just 1 of my warning signs. im not saying you have epilepsy ,just my experance.
Avatar f tn A few minutes after that she had a grand mal seizure. (First seizure ever). Rushed to the hospital by ambulance. She had 1 seizure in ambulance, 2 more in the ER. Cat Scan showed nothing. She was put on seizure medication, but seizures continued. She was also given bacterial and fungal medication, in case of encyphillitis, etc., Ran every possible test imaginable, all came back negative. Spinal Fluid showed elevated white blood cells. Doctors could not figure out what was causing her seizures.
Avatar n tn I had a traumatic head injury in 2001. I had a seizure that brought me back to life and I was paralyzed for a short time. Since then, I have gotten these cold shivers that start at the base of my neck. The shivers have an icy hot sensation and my whole body shakes, primarily on the right side where I was paralyzed. Could these shivers be a warning sign of MS? My grandmother had MS as well.
Avatar n tn Since you are new to this, the best advise I can give you is to learn the warning signs of when his glucose level is getting low. That way, you will be able to recognize it in time to get him food/drink. It takes a lot of practice and it's definitely a scary thing because it's horrible to watch someone having a seizure. Anyway, my opinion is that your husband didn't get to the point of actually having a seizure but rather the stages leading up to it. I hope this helps!
Avatar f tn I agree with vicki595 & boognell, while Ativan is used to manage seizures, detox must be done with a Dr.'s supervision, preferably in a hospital; my detox only took a few days and was pretty easy, and this comes from someone who was a heavyy, heavy drinker. I have first hand knowlege with seizure's. Two and a half years ago I suffered a traumatic brain injury, one of the lasting side effects is that I will have them for the rest of my life.
Avatar f tn Hi Hope all is well Thanks for the response, I know for sure driving off is very dangerous! At the same time it is so sad that the person with epilepsy can get into the car while having a seizure. It is terrible for the person with the sickness and for a victim if any..This person I know just had partial complex seizures. no warning signs at all...EVER. No aura's either. They have had surgery and have not had one seizure since.

Avatar f tn i keep having hypos without any warning signs. on the off chance i have tested my bm and it been 2-3. i have reduced my insulin but still have them. why arnt there any warning signs like the usual ones i used to get like for example light headed.
Avatar n tn Also some people have warning signs before they have a seizure, letting them know that something is up. So that maybe what your son's tummy aches are, his warning. My dad rolls his eyes to the top of the lid, not all the way back but as far up as they can get without being rolled back. Good luck, that is horrible for a two year old to go through. I am the mother of a 4 year old, and I have a lot of sympathy for you and him. Hopefully they aren't seizures and he will be fine.
327385 tn?1378360731 some things i have to track are time seizure happened , how long i was in seizure, what if any warning i had before, bitting of the tounge or jaw, how long i slept after, any pain when i come to , if i had enough sleep , ate , took meds on time , if i was under stress , what kind of seizure i had , how i was feeling daily, had any trouble breathing , stomache pain after. my neuro wants me to track my moods and migraines and what i was doing before the seizure came on.
Avatar n tn i had seizures as a kid and i have learnt my warning signs that a seizure is comming. i learnt what can bring them on and to avoid those things. i stayed home alone when my hubby was at work and my seizures were controled. i took my meds same time every night and if i felt the least bad i would go to my mothers till my hubby got home. i had my blood levels drawn at start once a month till got to level that they were controled then i had them drawed every 6 mnts.
Avatar n tn My son 35 years old has just had a seizure during the night. This one has left him with very sore calfs and is making waking difficult. After 2 days this seems to be getting better but the other problem that occured is that his tongue is very mashed, cut and very sore so he must have been clamping down on it during the siezure. Is this something that happens and will it heal on its own and if anything can you tell us anything that will ease the pain as this heals?
Avatar f tn Are there any signs you get a week or two before you go into labour or just it just happen?
Avatar f tn the area that surrounds my nipples were darkened.....dr said due to hormone levels....that was one of my first signs! Good luck!
