Hiya and many thanks for taking the time to respond xx wishing you good health in the future xx
Hiya.thank you for taking the trouble to respond........... will keep you posted xx
There are many triggers for seizures, one of which is stress. She might just be extremely overwhelmed which is worsening the seizures. That's what does it for me. Didn't she have an EEG that showed she was having seizures? Before I was diagnosed with epilepsy they thought I might have a mood disorder but my seizures weren't that obvious so it was harder to diagnose. I was about 15 at the time and am almost 20 now. It was the EEG that finally made the peices fall together and I'm better now. Maybe you should get a second opinion.
Personally, I think that walking away from a child when s/he is having a seizure would just increase anxiety and make seizures worse. She'd probably feel more ashamed, I know it's difficult especially at this age. At least that's how I'd feel.
Possibly try a neuropsychologist. I've never been but I'm thinking that maybe the doctor could give more insight into exactly how the anxiety may be affecting her seizures and how to cope with both. I believe that there are other places for teens to talk about their experience with epilepsy. I think on the epilepsyfoundation.com there is a section for teen forums but I'm not 100% on that.
Hope everything works out ok, good luck!
WOW!!!!
I'm sorry to hear about you daughter. I know it is difficult when you don't know what is going on or how to deal with it.
I didn't really think people could be so rude!!!! I have one for you!!
I took my son to an e.r. because he had 4 seizures in a day and 1/2. Not like any other that he has. At this point he had not been dia. with anything. His symptoms are more like a book. I won't go into detail...long story short... I'm over reacting he is not having real seizures they are Psychogenic Seizures and he needs mental help. There was activity on the eeg but not epilepsy. He had another one in front of the dr and he said that he made his self. Very rude Dr. that had no interest in his history or med records. Didn't even ask to see them. Nor wolud they admit him to observe what was going on. He also told me that i shouldn't go to the e.r. unless he has stopped breathing for more than 3 min!!!! I drove for more than 2 hours to get to this Childrens Hospital. needless to say we won't be back!!!!!!!
Please keep me posted. I am very interested in you daughter.
