Epilepsy

TLE, as a whole, constitutes a common type of epilepsy. The exact incidence is not clear but it is suspected to make up a significant proportion of medication-resistant epilepsy.

Each case is different so it is impossible to say what exactly would happen, but that would be a very serious seizure. Anyone having a seizure lasting that long should be transferred to hospital.

If the individual is legally emancipated, has not been declared legally or medically incompetent, and is not (because of his ailment) under the guardianshoip of his parents, yes.

This would not be advised, particularly in the case of epilepsy. Epilepsy comes in a wide variety of forms and severities, which is why there is such a broad range of drugs used to treat it. It is important to know what form of epilepsy people have when choosing what drugs to treat with and what doses to use. Things like hemp oil and other things, are not appropriate for the treatment of epilepsy.

yes it can. But it should only be used in combination with the prescribed medication for the disease. Some even consider it a panacea. It can also be used topically to cure skin cancer, arthritis, and many others, or be ingested for certain internal problems like any other cancer or ALS. Yes, for Parkinson's it is ingested. I would know because my dad has Parkinson's. It does treat Parkinson's, but it is not a cure. It has been known to extend a patients life by several years. I know many would not believe this, especially the cancer part, but look up Rick Simpson: run from the cure. it's true.

They are very different conditions. A good doctor would not confuse them.

Changing your medication when you have epilepsy, or any condition, should be discussed with your doctor. Only your doctor will know the specifics of your case and can give you definitive advice. Every case is different so it is not possible to give you a definitive answer. Talk to your doctor.

Nutritional supplements can cure spasticity in various ways. The supplements will provide nutrients which will relieve the pain that is found around the muscle area and also ease the tension among other ways.

yes

I was sick too. Now, I am not and I have flu righ now, so I am curious does this apply to post epilepsy patients? :-) My doctor said that Pseudoephedrine is not recomended. However, I never felt any changes in my health when I used tera flu :-)

So, it depends on you! It may have severe side effects on some people and may have no or minor side effects on others :-) But, better you do not try.

No, they sometimes know things other people do not, but their intelligence is not determined by the epilepsy.

You must find out if you missed a few doses of your medicene.

It would be important to know which someone is, in order to give them the help that they need. Someone having a seizure and someone being drunk are two very different things. A medical professional will easily be able to know if someone is having a seizure. The characteristics of a seizure are different to general drunken behaviour. Also it will be very obvious that somebody is drunk, through things like the smell of drink coming off of them. So there is little chance of any confusion.

It all starts with an Idea. Then you advertise it. Tell everyone you know about it. Then decide what your group will do. Weather it be raise money or provide support it is all about what you want to do!

Seizures can be caused by all sorts of reasons, too many to mention. Something like a severe head injury could be a cause for example. Any individual can have a seizure in their lifetime as a one-off incident or for a period of time, after which it will clear up. Often if it is a one-off it is not easy to know what caused it. Also it is considered not epilepsy related if the person only has one seizure, usually two or more consistent seizures either together or near each other is required before epilepsy is considered as the reason for the seizure. Stress or over heated, over cold, lights, loud noise illness fever disease, again to many to mention the best advise is to monitor when the seizure took place what the person was doing, acting prior to the seizure. The seizure length of time the actual time of the seizure the effect for example eyes roll, loss of bladder, shaking. How long it takes the person to fully come around and their experience of it. All are essential parts to the puzzle for you and your doctor to understand why you are having the seizure write it down and keep a journal is the best advise to try and help you discover why a person has seizures however bear in mind most people who suffer with seizures either as one off's or regularly usually even though many tests don't know the full reason why. It is one of the oldest conditions known to man but quite frankly and your doctor will unfortunately agree less known. due to each case being so different no two peoples epilepsy is ever the same even if they take the same treatment. It is more common than most people realise that most people will experience at least one seizure in their lifetime.

Yes epilepsy is common is poodles.

enflurane (because it can affect the brain and cause convulsion)

due its sedating property, wide range of drug-drug interactions and can depress our cognitive functions. It can also induce osteoporosis with prolonged use.

It's preferably to be used in refractory cases of epilepsy only.

Sara-Elizabeth Clark was born February 1, 1995. At 16 months old Sara-Elizabeth was diagnosed with Idiopathic Benign Childhood Epilepsy. She is currently seizure free and has used her experiences with epilepsy to become a grass root advocate for epilepsy. Sara-Elizabeth seeks to break all social stigmas associated with epilepsy and speaks to adults and children around the county and shares her thoughts on how growing up is difficult in itself but if you see tour difficulties as opportunities rather than burdens, there is no limit to the positive impact you can have on your community, no matter how old you are. Sara-Elizabeth is proof of this fact. To date she has raised over $50,000.00 for her charity with her fund raising and educating events which include: Four Walks, One Race, Regional print, radio and television ads, a breakfast, local and National radio programs, visited Washing D.C. to speak with her Representatives on two occasions, Been published in a national magazine, and had a book written and publishes about her work called "Being Sara". Sara-Elizabeth's Websitewww.itsnotwhoiam.com is the best way to reach her.

There are different rules in different parts of the world. Generally, if someone has not had a seizure for a period of time, they will be allowed to drive. The amount of time specified will be different in different parts of the world. It could be anything from about 6 months to 2 years. It must be said that driving if you have epilepsy is a risk to the driver, any passengers and other road users, so someone with a history of epilepsy needs to be very careful and take good medical advice before deciding to drive.

No, epilepsy is an electrical event in the brain and couldn't be diagnosed unless a seizure was detected. It would be highly unlikely to detect a seizure while the fetus was still in utero.

Epilepsy is a nerve in the brain disorder, so what you wear has absolutely no bearing on the disease for protection.

It can be used for treating epilepsy, however it is generally not used as a long term treatment for it because people can become resistant to its effects in treating seizures.

Petite Mal is a saying in french that translates out to Little Evil.

It can affect the brain, and anything that disrupts the working of the brain can cause seizures. Having seizures is only a possible side effect and so it does not happen to everyone. If someone already gets seizures they are not meant to take oxycontin. Epilepsy is classified as a tendency to have recurring seizures. So even if someone took oxycontin and had one seizure, they would not be diagnosed as having epilepsy. Anyone can have a seizure in their lifetime at some point, but it is only people that have lots of them that are diagnosed as having epilepsy. So if taking oxycontin caused someone to have a seizure and then they never had one again, they would not have epilepsy and so saying that oxycontin can cause epilepsy is not really accurate. It is more accurate to say that it can cause seizures.
