Caroline this sounds scary. Did the doctor run any tests? Sounds like having an eeg and maybe see a neurologist to see what he thinks this could be?


I hope you find answers. If you have another you might try going to an er to see what they feel is going on.....

My son has had it for over 7 years, half his life. His sister went through a brief time of seizures for around 1.5 years which has now found remission. No, I do not personally have it, but I know quite a bit through reading and experience with my kids.....

Did you get to a doctor? Have an eeg?

Hey caroline, if it happens again, ask your doctor for a referral to a neurologist to get it all checked out. Is it hydrocephaly that you have? That can be a cause of seizures and headaches.....

I am so sorry you will be on your own. I am sure it is very scary. Time to talk to the doctor about going on anti seizure meds maybe. Have a friend or relative call to check in with you each morning would be a start.

Ask your doctor what you can do to be safer....

My name is ginny. Sorry I no longer give out my email. Had a problem with a forum member here who forged my email to try and get me into hot water.

I am more than happy to post like this and try and help though.....


Sorry you are having more problems in the morning. Some seizures do tend to come in the early hours....

Take care!
