[QUOTE="buddy, post: 559751, member: 12886"] I couldn't say for sure obviously, just saying ...for us, it was a clear connection once they found that he had all this extra electrical activity starting in the right temporal lobe area and moving to the left. The emotional centers are in the path of them. Seizures are defined differently depending on the neurologist but there are different levels of abnormal activity and what shows up on a machine as small for one person might have obvious symptoms and vice versa. For us, looking at the big picture ....so many behavior analyses said he really did seem to switch out of the blue. That can mean we just didn't know about a situation that was bugging him but??? And then, he also had frequent headaches. You could often see that after behavioral explosions, he would yawn and sometimes even fall asleep. That can be symptoms of seizures too. I'd just think you might not want to dismiss it...keep it in the back of your mind even if the doctor doesn't think there's an issue. I personally dont think stuff like that happens with no effect. Keep an eye on it and if, as you try medications you don't get relief and need to explore options maybe the antiepileptic group could be an option. Even in the case of obvious seizures though, just as with so many conditions, there is often no easy fix. If you have a neuropsychologist who can help identify what types of symptoms that difficult child has and might be associated with the areas of difficult child's brain that are affected, that might help you to have some clues to what is going on. I've had several neurologists over the years really narrow in their interpretation of tests and unwilling to take time to look at the big picture. Once we ended up with a group who specialize in disabled children life changed for q in a big way. He had started.asking if he needed to die to get rid of the feelings.....once they found the issue, seizure medications really changed his quality of life. [/QUOTE]
