@roidavidsen what is the purpose of your video?

[hummingbird678]

Amalou, good luck with your dd. It has been a long toad, but my dd is doing well less than 1yr later...

I seriously didn't know these were seizures...I aparently do this quite often >.<

[hummingbird678]

@DanceLoveLily

They are easy to miss for sure. I hope you are able to get them under control {{hugs}}

Thank you for posting this. Most people have no awareness that these are seizures! Her seizures are very similar to my daughter's. Praying for the best for your little one.

@qtpiegrl14

They are very subtle and hard to see if you don't know what you are looking for. That's why I posted it... it isn't just a freeze and stare which is what people assume it will be. She is mostly controled right now (no non-induced events reported on her 6hr Telemetry EEG) but we can still induce them so they aren't GONE.

Thanks!Prayers for your daughter too.

[roidavidsen]

hi im an epileptic my self and im making a video about epilepsy, and thought to ask if i can use that clip in my video ? ofcourse i must ask you first

[doctorfeelucky]

and if my sister doesn't respond to teh medicine or the injection, we call 911. Paramedics may need to use oxeygen on her.

[doctorfeelucky]

my sister's warning sign of a seizure is when she moans "nooooooooo," followed by eyes twitching, holding mouth closed, and lips turning purple. Scary thing is that the only thing you can do is hold her head still, lay her on the side, and let it happen. with my sister, be prepared to clean up a big mess.

@hummingbird678 i took depakote and i started having the myoclonic seizures i requested to get taken off the meds and now i take keppra and dilantin the keppra keeps me from getting a depressed feeling which helps cause a simple partial seizure, dilantin keeps me out of the grand mal or tonic clonic seizures. i don't know how depakote is working with your daughter but i wouldn't recommend it. i just thought i would let you know my opinions from experience.

I hope she will be ok! Are sezisure dangerous? U would think they would be.I have a friend that has them so bad she can't drive.It's relaly sad. :(

@cutiepiex4you Well there's really nothing you can do during an absence seizure. And they're usually harmless, they don't even make people fall like grand mal seizures do.
