Guest guest Posted January 29, 2007 Report Share Posted January 29, 2007 Ok, well i just got back from my sleep study and after a year of so much of that dratted goop they use to attach electrodes on my head...... THEY FINALY CAUGHT MY SEIZURES!!!!! WOOT! lets see 3 eegs, 2 sleep studies and 2 mri's sigh. thats a lot of wires and GOOP! ok lol i know i shouldnt be so happy I have the seizures but at least i got answers!!! AND they are putting me on 2 meds. Clonezapram for controlling night time seizures and the dratted ritlin in the day time, i didnt really want to go on but its small dosage for now and if it dosnt work in keeping me awake durring the day then they will try another similar med. If the Clonezapram works then i may not even need the ritalin but we will see.

Guest guest Posted January 29, 2007 Report Share Posted January 29, 2007 Chantelle- I am whooping with you!! No, it's not great that you have seizures. But it's wonderful that you know about them and may find some relief for the symptoms they cause! I look forward to hearing how the meds work for you.

Guest guest Posted January 29, 2007 Report Share Posted January 29, 2007 Chantelle, I'm so glad you got some answers. You know, when you mentioned mind blanks before, I immediately thought of seizures because has them and some of the symptoms you were describing reminded me a lot of when she has them. But I hesitated to say anything because I didn't want to alarm you if it was just stress or fatigue. I'm glad you got it checked out and got some confirmation and some medications to help control them. You may see a world of difference now that you have something to help control them. , mom to (5) http://kauffmanlak.blogspot.com/ --------------------------------- Now that's room service!

Guest guest Posted January 29, 2007 Report Share Posted January 29, 2007 Actualy the " mind blanks " are seperate from the seizure activity. Kinda complicated to explain. Um the mind blanks are brought on by stress. Not sure what triggers the night time seizures though. Chantelle > > Chantelle, > > I'm so glad you got some answers.

Guest guest Posted January 30, 2007 Report Share Posted January 30, 2007 Fantasic news! I know how hard it can be to get a diagnosis, but this seems a good thing. I, too, go in tomorrow for an appointment, if I don't run away from home first. This darn ice storm has left us all whipped and not happily in tact....
