speech is usually slurred too. Do you think this is from the nerve blocks?
Thank you

I think the seizures are not related to SCS, but are part of RSD and the general failure of the central nervous system. They are not "real" seizures -- they don't show up on an MRI -- but they sure do act like them. One doctor told us that it's critical to drink some juice immediately afterwards to get the blood sugar stabilized (as much as it's ever stabilized with RSD!)
