[epilepsy] Re: Needing advice

 


Heads up everyone, and yes Pastor Joseph, this includes you too.

The International Classification of Seizures & Epilepsy was first
published in 1960 and last updated officially in 1981 for seizures; and
1989 for epilepsies. And....and....had recently been looked over once
again back in July 2009. --

The petit mal (PET-ee mahl) was renamed "Absence Seizure" (pronounced
ab-SAWNTZ). -- http://www.epilepsy.com/EPILEPSY/SEIZURE_ABSENCE

And, the grand mal was renamed "Tonic Clonic Seizure". --

Victoria, my suggestion is to get busy using a video camera. Have one
ready and as you've described, record what you see your 6 year old girl
doing, and then show what was recorded to her doctor.

due to seizures. Her seizures have gotten better and change all the
time. Lately we've seen head dropping, space outs and drooling. Can
anyone tell me if they are actual seizures or space outs? We've seen a
connection to increase seizures prior to an illness. Is this common
too??
