Re: What type of seizure--Keri, another straw or 2

>>>Instead if we sit her in

her highchair, carseat shopping cart or on the couch sh will almost

alwasy begin to have a cluster. Also a lot of the time we can

distract her and get her to stop the cluster. <<<

Keri--

Another question for you--is it BEING in these positions or the act of being

LIFTED into these seats that sets your daughter off? Ascending can trigger

sudden drops in blood pressure (benign in most people, but having a pretty big

impact on a select few), which can result in dizziness. Is there a difference

in her ability to tolerate these higher places if you move her into them ever so

slowly vs. whisking her up?

I do think you may be on the right track to be examining where these episodes

happen...I hope your neuro is taking note.
