I also want to add that there are other types that will cause "seizures": Neurodengerative disorders & diseases (whether inherited/genetic or non-inherited/genetic) Drug & Alcohol overdose aka Substance Abuse ----------------------------------------------- Poisoning - chemical / wildlife (ie:snakebite) / toxic plants If you suspect Poison was the factor, do not issue IPEC, call 911, call the Poison Control, have the Container, Plant, Chemical, or Animal/Reptile (if known) - do not attempt to capture it if alive, if possible of rabies .... Or if such animal or animal has been captured and trapped and detained, please take all precautions! FOLLOW DIRECTIONS PER SE OF THE DISPATCHER!

My niece had a brain tumor removed one and half years ago and was just told the symptoms she was having was seizures caused by the scar tissue that is a result of brain surgery not the symptoms of a mini-stroke like we thought because of the headache, numbness and tingling with arms and leg feeling heavy on the left side of face and body only. Placed on seizure medication, how long before she will experience a span of time between episodes? any help would be appreciated. Thanks A.L.

Hi Ellie,
I have what are known as Vitamin B6 Dependent Seizures, many different types including Status Epilepticus (these are refractory to Antiepileptic Drugs). My medication consists of B vitamins only (mainly vitamin B6). ** you may like to enter 'Pyridoxine Dependent Epilepsy' and 'Pyridoxal 5'-Phosphate Dependent Epilepsy' into the search engine to learn more about these rare seizure conditions. I'm sure, like me, you will find it very interesting. Regards, Andrew (B6 dependent for over 43 years). |

I am a 56yr old female and about 6 months ago I started smelling what I thought was smoke but no one else could smell it. I thought I must be getting a sinus infection. I started getting headaches, a little dizzy & an earache within a couple weeks of this and then I was sure it must be sinus. I saw an ear nose throat doctor and had a hearing test. They checked everything out including for vertigo and it all came back normal so I was sent to a neurologist. The spell continued but didn't really get any worst. After talking to the neurologist she thought I was having simple Partial seizures, Temporal Lobe to be exact and ordered an EEG. She wanted me to start medication but I wanted to wait for the test results. The EEG came back normal but the doctor still insists that I should start this medication. I am hesitant to start a life changing medication based on what a doctor thinks without any confirmation from any kind of test. Is this a normal practice of diagnosis. Does anyone know what I might be risking by not taking the medication if by chance this doctor is correct. So many of the symptoms that confirm this type of illness can be explained in other ways. How do you know when it is a seizure or menopause, or just a headache, or stress. I have experience da ja vue and would never have thought this was a possible symptom cause everyone experiences it from time to time. Is there a way to be sure that I am suffering from this illness before taking the medication?
