Title: Siezures
Post by RevDeFord on Nov 9th, 2002, 9:12pm
Anybody else have 'em?  I have seen a couple of people mention them.....I have partial complex siezures, which basically make me zone out for about 10-20 seconds......I am aware of what is going on around me but unable to move or respond.  It is wierd.

Hey Rev,

Nope, about 5 years chronic and no siezures here.

Some occasional "zoning out" but that's more self induced  ;)

I have a history of complex partial seizures and grand mal seizures.  However, I have been seizure free for 10 years and have had ch for 5 years.

This cycle I started having what I would call a siezure.  In fact, that's what made me start getting serious help again rather than just dealing with this beast on my own.

They last 10-15 minutes, strain muscles in the face, neck and back.  I've been cought in the wrong position when one started, and ended up with a completely messed up neck for a week.  During the 'siezures' I can't talk or move my mouth voluntarily, yet I am fully aware of everything going on around me.

I just had an MRI on Thursday, and nobody has called to tell me I have a brain tumor or anything.  I'd almost celebrate discovering a brain tumor... at least they can try to do something about that.

Glad you asked this question Rev.   :D
I have been wondering the same thing.  I had febrile seizures as a child. The last 1 was when I was 6 and the CHs started at 7. Always wondered if there could be a connection.

Dr. said an under developed hypothalamus caused the seizures.   Now I hear the hypothalamus is involved in CH.  Interesting!!!

Does any body know if there are any studies on a possible connection between seizures and CH?

It's been 11 years since the CH. If I had choice, it would be CH for 43 years rather than the damn seizures.  I call mine aborted grand mal. It's descriptive. No finding myself on the floor...just pissed off and not all that aware for a few minutes.  Think it's what happened with my old keyboard yesterday.

I have both.  I have better luck controling my seizures. My Dr. says he feels that they are related but ultimatly cant really explain or prevent either.

Steve's right. Please have an MRI and have this all checked out before the next voting season.
