RE: possible invisible seizure?

March 8, 2011

My son also goes through that, all the time. (daze's). I was told that if you

can snap your child out of it, then its nothing to worry about. And if your

child doesn't come too, then that could be a possible seizure.

If these 'dazes' continue, I would let her neuro know and have them order an

EEG.

possible invisible seizure?

Okay I need some advice. My daughter was sick this past week along with strep.

Once she was placed on antibiotics she was much better. I contacted our neuro

because she was having this dazed look but she was alert just 'out-of-it " ,

speaking really soft, having trouble finding words, and would all of a sudden

get really tired. I saw no obvious seizures but there was definitely something

awry. The neuro just wrote us off saying it was from her being sick however she

was better the day before. They just said that if she is still on antibiotics

then she is still " sick " and just to let them know if it continues.

I know there is more to it and isn't it common for seizures to increase when

there is illness?

I just feel lost in know what is going on with my little lady. She is 7 but all

her EEGs have been normal seizure-wise(I am told) except for showing she has a

risk of seizure due to spikes. We have not seen an actual seizure that we knew

for sure was one except when she was 1 and had a high fever. She has woke up in

the morning and lost all motor function and such which we are told there is no

other explanation but a nocturnal seizures. It is just hard to not know what is

going on.

Has anyone else experienced this?

My son does the same thing and often wondered if that was a seizure. I call his

name and he looks at me so I was told it probably was not a seizure. He is not

on any seizure medication because he has only had them with fevers but I'm

wondering if we should be more aggressive with it. His EEG a year ago showed

spikes but no activity. His nero does not know a lot about PMG and I'm

wondering if we should make the trip to Seattle to get a once over from a

specialist. I just get a feeling we are missing something and I worry he is

going to get a huge seizure out of the blue that causes him to regress. He is 5

and just starting to walk with a walker.

Steve was talking about ESES and I have read about it I wonder if this is what

our kids have? I totally agree it is something about not sleeping well. Since

the Keppra Nisha sleeps so much better but if she is sick then she has that
