[QUOTE="BestICan, post: 86396, member: 3413"] I'm sorry, I don't know much about your daughter's history, but her behavior sounds exactly like pre- and post-ictal states to me. As in, I think it was clearly related to the seizure she had on the slide. When my difficult child's seizures were uncontrolled, he acted -- I don't know how else to put this -- ADHD a few hours prior to having one, and he acted very odd afterward. For example, one morning my son woke up so agitated that I put him on the couch to lie down right after breakfast. I remember that because it was so out of character and I had no idea what to do for him. Later that day, bam! A seizure. I can tell you lots of stories about his strange behaviors that occurred minutes or hours after seizures. Sobbing for no reason, forgetting words, and seemingly losing all impulse control. A few hours after he had his very first seizure in his kindergarten classroom, he bit a kid on the leg for no reason. Again, I have no idea about the kinds of testing you've been through, but I've had experts throw all kinds of possible diagnoses at my son, including Early Onset Bi-Polar (EOBP) and ADHD. I think, with uncontrolled seizures, these pre- and post-ictal behaviors can mimic a lot of different problems. So please don't beat yourself up about your daughter's behavior. If that was a seizure on the slide, I think it's very possible that that's what triggered it. So sorry if I'm oversimplifying. Just my two cents. [/QUOTE]
