I think with most of us, thats something they only catch when you stay in the hospital. In my stay they werent able to trigger a seizure. They sure could now tho. Ive had to go to the hospital because of seizures 3 or 4 times. And there were some that thought I was 'faking' it. I still cant wrap my head around how a person could Fake one. I guess the medical staff would have to be pretty dumb. You cant fake your mussels rippling or busing that appears as its happening, or the sudden drop in oxygen in your system... so yeah.
my EEGs sometimes showed something abnormal, other times didnt. I think they were harder to trigger back then maybe because they were super mild. Id apparently just 'space off' and stop moving for several minutes or seconds, then start back to what ever it was I was doing having No awareness anything was amiss.
I had a seizure a couple of times that I got suddenly really mad or hostile and kinda disoriented... it was weird. I cant recall if it turned into a well 'normal' seizure or not after tho. Seizures can do all sorts of weird things to a person.
If you find a common trigger, like if you stay up and dont get enough sleep or something, you could 'provoke' one. But Id wait til you were seen. I think they should want you in for the week stay, or until they get a seizure reading in the eeg.
do be careful tho and keep your self safe until they can get you in.
I often tell people that Having a Seizure is Like being hit with a Stun Gun. It does Exactly the Same thing. Rippling mussels, the pain and tiredness that gos with it. I can take me days or even a week to recover from a bad one...
And Your Welcome, glad I could give ya some directions to look into. :)
Best of luck to you and be safe! ;)
Oh my god!
I did some research on the net and I found out what its like! It's exactly like this!
Here's a typical story: "When Jeff has an episode, he just stiffens up. Both arms are raised over his head and his face has a grimace, as if someone is pulling on his cheeks. If he's standing, he may lose his balance and fall. These seizures don't knock him out like the tonic-clonic seizures, but if he has a few close together, he is often tired."
These happen like 5 times a day to me at most, i'm going to go to the doctor again and tell him that.
I also heard that you're suppose to bring like a video for proof? How do I get something on video if its all random?! I mean I can try to ask my mom to record it, but I don't know if she can sit with a camera for a hour or two lol.
By the way, thanks for the reply, it helps out.
Youd need to get a referral to a Neurologist, and then have to do an EEG, and or the week stay hooked up to an eeg for them to catch any abnormal readings.
Its sounds like a seizure to me, but im new to the disorder. Mine are a result of a head injury in a car accident.
my head rolls to the right side and I think my eyes fix that way as well. and I have speach trouble.
Ive had 2 Positive EEGs for the problem.
they can worsen out of no-where, so get in and get seen. It can take forever to get into a Neuro as they are often booked out as long as 3mon's out.
