[epilepsy] Re: New Here




Hi Laura
His first in January; he was very limp - eyes rolling back & head. lasted about a minute or two.
His second was tonic - stiff posturing. Ended in his leg jerking a little and wetting the bed.
His third was stiff, hand extended & staring ... lasted 5 mintues.
He's on Keppra & it's not controling.

I don't know exactly what type of seizure is what. But one limp & two stiff?
