SEIZURES? OR EPILEPSY WHAT???? HELP ME PLZZZZ?

Seizures and Epiliepsy are the SAME thing. But the things you describe does not sound like a seizure. Not Grand Mull Seizure, ( doing the funky chicken on the ground) nor a Mild / Petit Seizure ( just a pause,eyes roll in back of head,and a little shaking). My son has had Mild Seizures since Birth, since he has hit the age of 12, he Now has Grand Mulll Seizures.He is now 15. But with the right medicine for the Epilepsy/Seizures, it CAN be controlled. Grand Mull Seizures, basically, all your muscles and body stiffen up, ( stiff as a board), u will drop to the floor, if anything is in the way when you fall down.. YOU will get hurt.there is uncontrolably shaking going on with all parts of the body, and eyes are rolled back into the head. Lips turn blue, unconcious,and Stiff and foamy from the mouth.. But when you come out of it, ur confused, tired, and will usually NOT remember having one. NOW for what can bring it on.... Pretty much anything, it can bright lighting, flashing of lights, lack of sleep, getting over heated, poor diet, caffeine( coffee, energy drinks) you CAN drink pop but not to over do it. there could be more ways to have one as well, but those are the things that will make my son have one. How to treat yourself after you have had a seizure,,, ALOT of SLEEP, your very tired after words, and confused. Once your body has rested, could be a few hours of sleep. you will feel better.. IT is a MYTH about swallowing your toungue, U CANT. but if you or someone is having a GRANDMULL SEIZURE, you should not be restrained from shaking around but move items that may hurt the person having one, and turn the person to his or her side just so they dont throw up or swallow all the foam and choke. My Son has been on all kinds of meds, to try to control his seizures, best meds that have improved him NOT having a seizure is Valproic Acid, and Keppra.. Talk with your Dr. they will know what medication will work best for you. I have been to the CHILDRENS HOSPITAL IN CALGARY ALBERTA, and the Specialists there have said that the VALPROIC ACID is the number one Med to take for Epilepsy/Seizures. Hope this helps you. Take Care :)
