I am a new mother of a 3 month old baby girl. About a month and a half i started noticing she would do these twitching movements and shake. After a few time i took her into the er. We were admitted into the icu for 5 days.
They did an mri, blood work, ekg, a video 24 hour eeg....everything. They said her mri was perfect.....but they put her on phenobarbital.
She was fine for about 2 weeks. Then last friday she was doing them again, were her eyes would flutter and her head or body would shake. They last about 3 - 10 seconds.
The er dr. Said since has gained more weight since her fist dosage amount they upped her amount.
Now even with the upped amount, right before she is trying to go to sleep or after she has a full tummy she still does it every so often. We have an appointment with another neurologist this week.
But i am a nervous wreck.
Any help?!?!
