Epilepsy

It wouldn't be particularly normal, but there are all sorts of things that could be causing a headache that have nothing to do with having had an EEG, and only a doctor can check that out.

In general around the world, 1 in every 200 people can have epilepsy, or 0.05%. It would therefore be no different in Canada.

By taking drugs it weakens our muscles which makes our reactions slower.

A person with epilepsy has seizures which are caused by irregular electrical activity in the brain.

Only very severe forms of epilepsy require surgery. Most people have their epilepsy controlled by medication. Talk to your own doctor for a referral to a good neurologist.

It is the cells in the brain that are affected.

When it comes to any sort of question around medication, you need to talk to your doctor. Different people will have different results with any epilepsy medication. Lamictal may work well for one person and not so well for another. The dosage is important. It can be taken with other epilepsy medications. There is also the factor of the kind of epilepsy someone has and how they are at present. As you can see there are many factors, so no simple answer to your question, without all those things properly considered. So, as already said, talk to your doctor.

I don't know if all people who are photosensitive are sensitive about the same colour's and lights but in my case, i think World of Warcraft has triggered my seizures.

I have been tested for epilepsy by EEG but they could not see anything.

But my 3 seizures (grand mal/tonic clonic f.y.i) have always occurred while I've been playing for many many hours, and all 3 cases have been when i have been playing World of Warcraft + fatigue.

From the perspective of individual seizures, that would depend on the severity of a seizure. Most seizures pass without any real problems, and no medical attention is needed. Some can be more serious and someone may have severe pain after one, usually a headache and will need some care. Someone who is getting recurring seizures, one after another, should be brought to hospital. At the absolute worst, it is possible that someone could have severe brain damage, and even die, but that is extremely rare and the seizures would have to be very severe. It is not an issue for the vast majority of people who have epilepsy.

In the more general sense, people should have treatment for their epilepsy, which usually involves being on medication.

Epilepsy can occur in animals other than humans, Canine epilepsy is often genetic. Epilepsy in cats and other pets is rarer, likely because there is no hereditary component to epilepsy in these animals.

No. Anyone can accidentally bite their tongue. That is not a sign of epilepsy. You have to have recurring seizures to have epilepsy.

It all depends on which medication you decide to take. Some do cause you to gain weight.

A mutual one that causes close to no effects is Topamax.

Depicote causes weight gain.

Someone with Epilepsy does not need a wheelchair, unless they have additional conditions which affected their ability to walk. Most people with Epilepsy lead very normal lives and would not even class themselves as being disabled at all. It is only when they are actually having a seizure that there is a problem. Other conditions effect people every moment of their lives, like having a visual impairment, but Epilepsy does not.

If someone has never had a seizure before, he/she needs to go to the ER for evaluation. If the person has had a seizure before, he/she needs to follow the direction of the doctor that treats the seizures.

They take place when the heart's rhythm is changed for a number of different reasons, and blood clot formation occurs. This blood clot can move through the circulatory system until it blocks a blood vessel and stops the blood supply

There are many different kinds and severity of seizures. Different people with AVM will experience different kinds of seizures, so there is no simple answer to teh question. Each individual's case is different, so you would have to talk to each individual and see what kind of seizures they are having.

There is no simple answer to that. Epilepsy comes in a wide variety of forms and levels of severity. So each individual case is different. For some children headaches could be severe and frequent and for others it may be not a major problem at all, so there is no single answer.

That is a question you must ask your doctor.

There is no simple answer to that. It is not a standard operation that is the same for everyone. The surgery for each individual can be different, so for some it is a bigger thing to get over. Then there are other factors, like the relative health of the person, which may impact on how well able they are to recover.

Epival is used to treat certain types of seizures in the treatment of epilepsy. It also relieves facial nerve pain. It is also used to treat certain psychiatric disorders, drug and alcohol withdrawal, restless leg syndrome, and a disease in children called chorea.

There is no way of knowing. Most epilepsy is idiopathic, meaning there is no known cause. It can be from something environmental or it can be congenital (hereditary). No animal should be bred that has any health issues, you are only perpetuating the problem by passing along the genes to the offspring. You will only cause heartache for the people who buy the puppies if this health issue is passed down. Your female should be spayed.

my daughter had a seizure this week and when she was on a monitor her heart rate dropped from 140 to 70. with this said if the heart rate drops you have decreased blood profusion through the body which can cause lips, fingers and toes to turn blue. this is what happened to her. It was freaky. Her oxygen level did not drop.

Epilepsy is a neurological condition. The neurons fire the wrong way and cause lack of sleep, muscle twitching, zoning "petite mal", or full body shakes "grand mal". Epileptic patients often feel alone and unaccepted due to their condition. It is not that they themselves are alone, it is their psychological inability to accept this fact that they are and in this fight they loose what it is that makes them fully functional. Basically the subconscious wraps the mind in a state of a "child like behavior" in order to preserve its utilities and reject the unacceptable fact that the brain is in fact malfunctioning, just as a stroke patient would if they were to find that they in fact had a stroke.

Alcohol decreases a person's inhibitions and slows down thought processes as well as the processing of incoming visual and auditory information. Alcohol also slows down the heart rate and rate of breath revealing stress for those epileptic patients who can tell that they are soon going to have a seizure. These notable events before a seizure are often referred to as an "aura" or petite mal, which may lead to larger event such as a grand mal . Though alcohol is not highly recommended by doctors due to its side effects eg. organ, brain damage, seizure are often know to cause strokes and are just as potentially lethal.

If the seizures are brought on by crowds, large events, sunlight, flashing lights, fluctuating sound/light frequencies, yelling, arguing, and the epileptic patient knows their triggers, it is highly recommended with doctor approval, that the patient go into hospital in order to localize these triggers, then by themselves if they are capable or if they are willing to go with someone, or with someone that will not trigger these stresses that they get away from them if only for a short while at a time.

With a willing patient, due to the lack of stress as a trigger for the consumption for alcohol, these methods should help to rapidly detox the pacient Remember that alcohol is a physical as well as a mental dependance and that brief detox can cause seizures or even death.
