After a couple more misses (tv was too important to get up) she came and got me. By this time we had statred to call them her "bumbles". I tried to stay calm as my little girl stood in front of me while one side of her face spasmed out of control. It was pulling and twitching from the corner of her mouth to her forehead. I told her it was fine, gave her a hug and sat her back down as I ran to my bedroom and called the pediatrician. After a few more episodes over about a years time, I had them refer me to a neurologist. We have had an abnormal EEG and a normal MRI. They put her on meds the same day they got the EEG results which they told me indicated seizures. She has since had 2 more episodes. When I was finally able get in to see the neurologist he said he wasn't sure she was having seizures. He wanted to read the EEG himself. He was hinting that it may be tics. My question is, can tics be this severe and do tics cause abnormal EEG results? Thank you for taking the time to read this.
