Hi ,

I am new to this site! I have a 20 month old son who I think may be having seizures of some sort. He tightens his body up and stares for a couple of seconds. It started when he was first discovered his hands. he would wave his hands (by twisting his wrists) and open is mouth looking at them and tense up his body.

This changed later to a squeezing of his fists, tensing his face and whole body. At about 18 mos this changed to bringing his hands up to his face and pushing in his cheeks. He tenses his body when he does this and seems to hold his breath.

I have shown this behavior to four doctors. All of them say it is nothing and just wait it out. But, I know something is not quite right.

I am going to seek the help of a naturopathic doctor to see if he has any deficiencies and also the help of a neurologist.

Does this sound familiar to anyone?

Please help. I feel alone in this as everyone treats me like I am crazy and trying to create of problem with my son where there is none.
