Guest guest Posted February 9, 2012 Report Share Posted February 9, 2012 Our son had Gelastic seizures and would laugh uncontrolably It was funny for a while then a new med helped stop them Sent from my Verizon Wireless BlackBerry Laughing seizures I am so sorry, but I don't remember who emailed about their child's laughing for no reason. My son does the same once in a while. Sometimes he will also squeal with happiness when he has a twitch. I mentioned it to the neuro and he said they might be laughing seizures. I just wanted to put that out there for this parent. Julissa Sent from my iPad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 10, 2012 Report Share Posted February 10, 2012 Kym also had gelastic seizures but would not stop laughing. It would go on for hours on end. She was eventually hospitlalized and had her meds changed. It was no fun at all and very distressing for her and us. janice Laughing seizures > > I am so sorry, but I don't remember who emailed about their child's laughing for no reason.
