You need to find a very good neurologist who understands children. She probably will need medication to avoid seizures.  I suspect the doctor will tell you that she stands a good chance to lead a good normal life if she is treated correctly. Good luck.

My friend has acute pancreatitis and it is terrible to see her go through with it when she has a seizure. I have been in the hospital with her many times and have seen grown men cry. Cut out the drinking if you can. It is not worth it. p.s. My friend is not a regular drinker and therefore her seizures are not very often, however by what i have seen i would advise you to try at least to cut down and if possible to stop drinking altogether.I think you know the risks as in DEATH!!!! \nBest of luck.\nMichelle xxxxxx.

It could be psycological but it is far more likely it is neurological. I would get him into a pediatrican and let the doctor check him out.

well I wouldnt worry. It is a sweet memory from her past that she loves very much. You must have been a good parent. She has held on to he blanky for some good memories and it relaxes her.

It's not your fault.  You must forgive yourself as you will become very sick from the guilt and that will not help you or your family.  Satan keeps tormenting you with this and you must give it to the Lord and tell him to get out of your thoughts in the Lord's mighty name. \n\nFor epilepsy to be a caused, your granddaughter would have had to receive a severe head injury.  You say she was OK when you picked her up and that her head was red.  This does not sound like a cause for epilepsy. \n\nYou can check with a specialist doctor, otherwise let it go.  She needs a happy grandmother, not one with guilt.  The devil comes to kill, steal and destroy and Jesus came that you may have life and have it more abundantly.  I recommend you pray this over your granddaugher frequently.

I have had epilepsy since 8 years of age.  Many experiences w/ seizures.  LET HIM SLEEP>>>>>> his body is drained and needs to recharge.  I have been affected (being exhausted and tired) for up to a week and there is NOTHING you can do more importantly than letting the person rest. Peace, quiet, soothing warm environment.  Let the body heal.  I am not 18, 28, 38 or EVEN 48 any more, it's hard to "want to help and feel that there is nothing you can do"... be patient, kind and understanding... GOOD JOB!

I have epilepsy too and it never effected my marriage (I am 46 now). Epilepsy does not necessarily mean that a person cannot live a full and happy life. Maybe she is like me, and after 3 years... the seizures will go away. I have had no seizures since I was about 8 years old.\n\nThe good news for you is that she got epilipsy from another illness, not from her family genes. My epilepsy is from my family genes, and I have 4 brothers and sisters who have it also.

This conditon is called "AKINETIC EPILEPSY". But it is not fits or any other serious ailment.It gradually disappears with age.Empathy is all that he needs.

hi\n\nI also have a seizure disorder due to a brain tumor.\nhot weather, or just getting overheated greatly increases.  My seizures.  I've talk too other people with seizure disorders, i.e. brain tumor/epilepsy and it seems pretty consistent he is a problem.\nheat can cause the brain to swell just a bit.  In some of us, just don't have enough extra room to accommodate the extra swelling.\n\nto stay cool :)

My daughter had the very same symptoms and we had her see a neurologist.  He did all of the tests and said she needed to drink more water.  For some reason some people require more water to function properly.  I thought it was crazy but since she has increased her water intake she hasn't had the problems anymore.

Hi,  I answered you the other day.  I'm afraid you want what all famlies want...straight answers...specifics...I spent years explaining to people that with babies, and with problems like Molly's, there are no straight answers.  It is impossible to predict because every baby and every circumstance is different.  Is the baby alert?  Does she suck?  Pheonbarbital will (especially at first) make her more sleepy.  She may recover completely, or she may  be prone to seizures and need medication all her life.  Most docs keep babies on Phenobarbital for at least a year, then , if there have been no seizures, they decrease it and gradually take the baby off it.  This was done successfully for my granddaughter.  Is she breathing well on her own, or is she on a ventilator?  The docs are cautious about giving specific answers because !.  they don't know yet, and 2. babies always surprise us.  I have occasionally seen a doc give a family a poor prognosis...and he was completely wrong...so they usually don't do that.  It is hard to accept that there are no straight answers at this time...but it is true.  You may email me if you like ..with any questions.  CAN'T  RESPOND to your email thru Yahoo answers system...need your email address if you would like response from me.  gmacharlie7@yahoo.com

I think you should sit down with your brother and ask him how he feels and see if you could spend some extra time with him. Talk to your sister too and tell her that she needs to try to understand that having a sibling with something like epilepsy requires more attention because you never now when they could have a seziure. I have a sister who has the same condition and she needs constant care and attention, but also suggest that your sister and brother, and you,sit down together and find out if there is anything that they might want to talk about or how they feel. I really hope this helps. :) P.S.: I know how it feels to live with a sibling who has epilepsy. Keep those spirits high:)

You might, despite the scanning and probing (you poor dear) be an epileptic. It is typically uncommon for those without epilepy to have GRAND MAL seizures. This does not show up on any scans and not through blood work (though the low lymph count could be a side effect if I recall) If this seizure was your first, and hopefully will be your last, then it's doubtful that you are an epileptic. If you have another seizure, however, then you may want to see a general practitioner who can refer you to a specialtist (most likely a neurologist). My mother's an epileptic, who started having seizures when she was 15, with no family history. I'm 19 and have yet to seize, but have subtle symptoms of neurological heredity (tremors, migranes, etc.) Good Luck in Finding Your Answers! I hope this one helped.

Sure. Try this one on for size. I was born back in 1957, with a tiny\nwhole in my heart. In the summer of '58, when I was just 16 mos.\nyoung, I had to go under the knife for open-heart surgery. \nThen, when I was closed up, a blod-clot formed, went all the way \nup to my brain, and formed a lesion: the final result was Epilepsy,\nwhich I continue to live with today--and which quite recently was\nthe result of depression, which epileptics are more prone to than\nanyone else. \nI am not yet absolutely sure that the symptoms of my depression are over with per se. (Only time shall tell.) All I can say for sure right now is that the anxiety attacks I've had up til now were 100 times than any seizures I've ever experienced over a time span\nspan of nearly 37 years.

You just have to keep trying. The reason why it happens just when you think you're making headway is probably because she is afraid to let it go and get through it because it is familiar to her. Even though it hurts her it's all she knows. Children will hold onto whatever makes them secure no matter if it's good or bad. They feel secure when eveything in their life is always the same. My guess is that she is over you not being with him anymore but is still holding onto the next phase...the pain. You have to let her know that it is ok to be sad but it's also ok to move on.Continue to let her know how much you love her. You have to be strong for her when she breaks down, she'll see and feel your strength and little by little she'll know that she can get through it. But you cannot break down with her just make sure you comfort her, that way she knows you two have each other. Whatever you do , if you know being with him was not good for the two of you, don't give in. No matter how much you see that it hurts her.......do what's best for the both of you. It's like when a child wants to eat a lot of candy.....they'll cry because you won't let them....but you are the parent and you know that in the long run all that candy is bad for their teeth and not very healthy for them. You said she is so grown up for her age.......be the parent...don't let her make these difficult decisions. Only you know what's best for your child!

Hi, 2 of my daughters' had seizures. My oldest daughter had them on and off for about 8 yrs. There were conflicting diagnosis's as to the cause. My daughter is a diabetic and Diabetes can cause seizures, that was one diagnosis. The other diagnosis was Epilepsy. My daughter was treated with medication for Epilepsy, but has been seizure free for 10 years now, and has not had to take medication for 9 years. My other daughter had seizures also and she too is diabetic. Her seizures were not caused from the Diabetes or Epilepsy but from high fevers. She never took medication for them and eventually "out grew" them. In my opinion seizures can be very complex or relatively simple, however even doctors don't know all the causes of seizures sometimes the cause is never known. Hope this helped somewhat. I also have a nursing degree and what I learned about seizures from my schooling I think just covers the very basic knowledge we know and there is alot more to learn. I hope your aunt finds out the cause and is able to get treatment. Let me know if this info helped you or not. Email me at s_34_28_36@yahoo.com Good luck and God Bless you.
