1d. Re: Started having seizures

March 1, 2009

Hi :

Please ask your Neurologist to admit for a 24 hour EEG.

That way you can rule out two of the epileptic syndromes that are

often first diagnosed as autism ( CSWS (Continual Spike Wave During

Slow Sleep, and LKS (Landau Kleffner Syndrome.) My daughter had CSWS

which presented first as autism and then, finally, as atypical

absences which got us in for the EEG. If we had had the foresight

sooner, she would have suffered much less loss of skill since an

early diagnosis and start on steroids helps these kids recover almost

fully. For us it is a long slow climb.

I am NOT saying that this is what has, I only want to let

parents know that a 24 hour EEG is your right and something that

could be helpful in the long run for everyone. The worst (best!) that

can happen is that it will be clear and you can rest assured that he

has normal absences which are much more easily eradicated.

best,

Started having seizures

Hi Everyone,

I took to the neuro and yes, he is now having seizures. His

face slapping has gotten worse and he doesn't know his colors and

shapes anymore, why? Is it a new supplement I started? Ever since I

put him on a detox supplement he has been doing this but we also

started him on liver support and hemp milk too. My poor little man.

He is going to be six in June. How do I help him? Is there anything

to help absent seizures? His behaviors are more aggressive too.

If anyone can tell me why and how to support him through this time,

please let me know.

Thanks so much.
