Hello,
I ordered the book you are reading and mine is supposed to come on the 29th.
‏Does he mention types of seizures or just his symptomatologyi? He may be referring to either the PRODROMAL phase which is the first part of a seizure which happens in approximately 20% of patients. These symptoms happen minutes to days before a seizure and can vary greatly between people and where in the brain the seizure begins in which also determines seizure type. They can include among others, headache, irritability, depression, insomnia, agitation, concentration issues,lightheadedness, vertigo, dizziness,mood changes, overly tired, intestinal or urological symptoms
Perhaps he's referring to an aura
which is a seizure in and of it’s self. They generally last from seconds to minutes. They used to be called simple partial seizures, the current
terminology is focal aware seizure. Out of over 13,000 seizures I have only had one aura that I remember and it was a déjà vu experience.
He mentioned staring which could also be an Absence seizure (which is a generalized seizure.) I'm curious if he goes into more specific details.
My Epilepsy started when I was 15 although my brother says I was 14 so who knows. But that’s when I had my first tonic-Clonic seizure but my Absence seizures started before that. But probably 99% were convulsive Tonic-Clonic which included many Status episodes. My seizures happen at various times from morning to night But I’ve never had nocturnal seizures, thankfully.
Well Teresa I guess I went a little overboard here, just call me jabber jaws,
Jake
