Re: SEIZURES/Bettie

Hi Bettie,

It is so good to hear from you again. I have been

wondering about you. You say you had surgery. I hope

your condition was not too serious and that you have

recovered well.

Bettie, Jim has had these seizure type behaviors for

the last 3 years. The first time he had one it scared

the heck out of me. Now, I am used to seeing them. It

is exactly how you describe it, he goes into a stare

with a glazed look in his eyes and then shakes some

in his hands and arms and jerks his body a little and

then his head falls to the side and he is in a stupor

unconscious for sometimes up to 18 seconds and other

times he comes right out of it, but he never knows

that anything has happened to him when he comes out of

it. In the LBD brochure it is called, Transient/

Unexplained unresponsiveness. Others here have told me

they see the samething happening to their LO. I have

thought that maybe the Haldol given to my husband

triggered it, because it started happening right after

he was given Haldol and to this day he still has them,

it could have just been coincidental that these

seizure type things started happening after the

Haldol. I don't know.

Anyway, to answer your question. Yes, Jim has the

samething happening to him. He just had one two days

ago while on the toilet. Thank goodness there is a

wall next to the toilet on the right hand side and his

body fell that way. I heard his head hit the wall and

ran in. The wall supported his body while he went into

the stupor until he came out of it and then he was

ready to get off the toilet and stood up with my help

and seemed his normal self again. It Is so weird to

see.

Keep in touch Bettie............Hugs, Jan
