Guest guest Posted April 30, 2003 Report Share Posted April 30, 2003 If they aren't having a full seizure it will be pretty hard to tell as twitches happen while sleeping anyway. If you can a request a natural sleep eeg that is the best way to tell. You might have to do a video if you can to help your doctor see what you are seeing. If you have one of those monitors that record directly on your vcr that is great or just set up a camera to run for a couple of hours every night. If Tony has a seizure while asleep it goes like this, He will get really still His eyes will open wide He will start to stiffen up, his arms go out and his legs go straighter. His breathing is different (this is usually the point where I come in if I am not already in his bed or him in mine (we just recently got him to sleep in his own room alone!!!) He may progress into full grand-mall seizure or just the stiff part at this point. Tony has had different types of seizures over the last 10 years. If I can be of any help let me know. cindyc@...
