HI
I THINK MY SON HAS EPILEPSY. LAST NIGHT HE HAD A SEIZURE IT STARTED
WITH HIS HANDS AND ALL AND HE WAS SHAKING AND HIS TONGUE WAS HANGIN
OUT AND MOVING TOO. HE SAID HE REMEMBERS ALOT OF WHAT HAPPENED. HE
IS ALMOST 18 AND HE NEVER HAD ANYTHING LIKE THAT BEFORE IN HIS LIFE.
WHEN HE WAS A INFANT HE FELL FROM HIS CARRIER AND ONCE FROM A
SHOPPING CART BUT NEVER A SEVERE OR A TRAUMA TO HIS HEAD. HE DOES
HAVE AUTISM WHICH IS PERVASIVE DEVEOPLMENTAL DISORDER HE IS HIGHT
FUNTIONING. HE DOES ALSO HAVE BI POLAR AND ABOUT 3 MONTHS AGO HE
STARTED TAKING SEROQUEL 200 IN THE AM AND 200 IN THE PM NOW HE ONLY
TAKES 200 AT NIGHT. AS FOR MY SELF I DONT KNOW ABOUT MY FAMILY
HISTORY I WAS ADOPTED AND I HEAR EPILEPSY RUNS IN THE FAMILY. I DO
GET IDIOPATHIC HEADACHES WHICH ARE LIKE CLUSTER HEADACES WHICH ARE
LIKE SPIKING PAINS IN THE HEAD THAT COME AND GO ON DIFFERNT SIDES OF
THE HEAD AND THEY ONLY LAST FOR UNDER A MINUTE SOME DAYS I GET THEM
ONCE OR MORE TIMES AND SOME DAYS I DONT GET THEM AT ALL. MAYBE THAT
IS A FORM OF EPILEPSY I DONT KNOW. ANY ADVICE OR SUGGESTIONS MY SON
IS SEEING A NERULOSIST IN THE AM I WENT TO ONE A LONG TIME AGO FOR
HIM AND FOR MYSELF AND FOR ME THEY FOUND NOTHING AND FOR HIM ALL
THEY FOUND ON THE MRI WAS HE WAS DEVOPLEMTALLY DELAYED. DO YOU THINK
HE COULD HAVE EPILEPSY AND WHY NOW JUST STARTING AT ALMOST 18 YRS
OLD AND OR DO I ALSO HAVE A FORM OF IT
LET ME KNOW
