Re: Nystatin and possible seizure?

[Guest guest]

The only way you can determine if this jerking is a seizure is to have an

EEG. All body jerks are not seizures as I found out when Kim was in the

hospital recently. When she was having extreme GERD (acid reflux) to the

antibiotics they were giving her for the pneumonia, she gagged, stiffined

up and jerked like having a seizure. Yet, the EEG showed these episodes

were not seizures. It was extreme GERD and the episodes stopped once we

stopped the antibiotics. Her neurologists said newborns are often mistaken

for having seizures when instead it was severe acid reflux. (Acid reflux

will not show up on an EEG.)
