What Type Of Seizure Is This?
I no longer have these, but it used to be a common occurrence. I know there are many, many types of seizures but have never found one that fits what used to happen to me. Can anyone tell me what this is??
* It lasted an entire day. From the time I woke up until I went to bed at night. Usually about 13-16 hours. Was always fine the next day
* I was always conscious.
* Never extra tired.
* No twitches. No pain or even physical discomfort of any kind.
* Most people didn't know anything… read more
Through most of this you seem to be having absence ( Peti Mal )seizures. So mild that no one is noticing. You may also be having Cluster Seizures. Mean you may go into a short seizure, come out and moments later go into another one, and continue through out the day. If you are having cluster seizures, you may want to talk to the Dr. about it. Ask or talk about him/her prescribing you recovery meds, like Ativan or Lorazepam.
When you or all women reach their premenstrual cycle, can also cause seizures.
During the beginning of your school years, it may of been a little anxiety, stress and p your Premenstrual cycle (since you were going through puberty ) which are all trigger for seizures. Which was a double bang for seizures.
If your friends or family don’t notice any blank stare in your eyes or when you forget what was going on , then they aren’t paying attention to the signs of your seizures.
I’m not female; i don’t get the monthly thing. But how do you cover up a Clonic Tonic Seziure?
The one that i had was 14 hour’s
long and i was unconscious for the most part. Then i woke up
in The Hospital to here you’re
Epliptic, and you can’t drive and do
several things you used to do because of this!! So we discusse
our problem’s here now hoping for help
or a cure…
Complex partial but you need to talk to your neurologist about that. All day is very strange. Like having absence seizures all day. Conscious but functioning is very strange. May be another condition where a certain neurotransmitter is constantly firing. Sorry I am not familiar with this type. Epilepsy and seizure disorders come in many forms just like autism
Im truly sorry that you are going through this. I can say Ive never experienced what you are going through. I have Pseudoseizures (look like petit & grand mal), actual Grand mal, aura’s sometimes shaking, smelling beach.
I have memory loss from the now-trouble with yesterday, but better with 49 years ago. Was diagnosed 49 years ago of Petit mal & put on meds-found out that I was misdiagnosed & believed I actually have autism instead.
As ling as you arent aline & your care team-dr., family member & you all work together to help you—then you will het thru this ma’am.
@A MyEpilepsyTeam Member focal onset of any kind last anywhere from a second to 10 minutes or more. my auras into focal onset awareness into focal onset impaired awareness last me a couple of seconds. but when i was a kid it last me a few minutes. maybe 5 minutes. some auras last for hours. its up to the person. and RandySherman is right it could be both side. focal onset just mean 1 side of the brain is affected while generalized means both sides of the brain. you could be aware and have generalized seizures.
