Hi my name is rebekah I had seziures every since I was a baby. How I got it? The doctor that delivered me gave me the wrong vaccine shot for my tetness I think that's how u spell it. Anyways i'm 20 years old i've been on so many meds through out my life. And now my doctor has me on 200mg of tegretol I dont start it til tomorrow which is sept 24,04. The last med I was on for my seizures was nerontan. My doctor told me that the tegretol is the best med right now for seizures. I went to him the 23rd of sept to get my eeg done. And my brain waves are adnormal. I thought that I was goin in and out of my seizure. I have been zoning out like im in a dream and cant concertrat on my work right now i'm a cashier. I also started to get really bad head aches. I have two kinds of seizures grandmal seizure and epalciy seizure..My dad tells me a lot of stories about when I went into my grandmal seizures..But the question I have is what are the symptons for when you're about to go into a grandmal seizure? Are there any symptons for goin into a grandmal seizure? My dad told me that I tried to swallow my tounge alot when I went into them. I recently got married on august 14th of this year and my husband doesnt know what to do if I do go into a seizure. So what is he suppose to do if I go into a grandmal seizure? Please write back I really want to know about what the symptons are so I know if im goin in a granmal seizure and what my husband can do to help me til the ambulance comes? I'm so scared to go into a seizure please try and help by the questions that I asked please . I know one thing im not very smart for my age I feel so dumb cuz I cant comprehend anything specialy big words and im so embarresed about it. how can you get seziures by getting the wrong vaccine from a tetness shot anyways? And now I have brain damage because of it and it's im surprised that I even graduated from high school.
