Guest guest Posted January 23, 2006 Report Share Posted January 23, 2006 Hello, I had at least 5 sezuires a day while when I was little, my mom used to joke that if I wasn't having one I was sleeping. By the age of 10 I pretty much stopped having them, the last time I had one was about 3 years ago. I was never diagnosed with epileplsy, my dr called it " breath holding " to make it easier for me later. Considering my experience I personally believe they ARE related, one of the symptoms of this syndrome are " passing-out spells " according to a site i found a few years back. *leah* amber chavis wrote: Don't mean to but in but my son is RSS and has epilepsy. They keep saying that the two are not related but i still think the are. Amber -Grayson 2 RSS Jeanie wrote: This is JUST a thought.... I am a HUGE fan of the Discovery Health Channel. I erased my emails tonight and I had wanted to reply to one of s emails before I did. I am wondering if they tested your daughter for epilepsy? I watched a show on DHC just the other night about a little girl that started experiencing unexplained seizures and " ticks " . They put her through a battery of tests and couldn't find anything. Her parents were frustrated and scared. Finally they found someone that was willing to do whatever it took to find out what was going on and it tured out that she had epilepsy! It took them 2 yrs. to get this diagnosis! God knows I don't mean to scare you........but maybe you should ask about this??? Maybe you could research if there is a history of epilepsy in RSS kids. I'll do some myself and see what I can find. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
