[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 462826, member: 84"] Susie, she was having a seizure, although I can't tell you what type. I'm no expert although Travis has had them most of his life........and he's had some pretty darn unusual ones. As I recall some of the ones that were causing the unusual symptoms were temporal lobe seizures. In nursing they honestly teach very little about seizures, which as far as I'm concerned is neglectful. But catching one via eeg is all in the timing, in other words, you pray you're lucky. Otherwise, they diagnosis by symptoms, so keep doing your log. If you have something that takes video, record it if you can. We were lucky with Travis. His eeg was one long continual seizure, and he had one long eeg too. When an eeg scares the doctor, you can pretty much bet on the fact you're in uncharted territory. He was so stunned by what he found he actually was compelled to show it to me and explain, well he could explain what was happening.....he couldn't explain why because in a lifetime of practice he'd never seen anything like it before. It's good that this practice understands they won't always be lucky enough to catch it on the eeg. I have a vague memory of sometimes a person being admitted and monitored with eeg equipment for at least 24 hrs, maybe more, in an attempt to catch what is going on. Don't bank on it, but I have a vague memory of someone (no clue who) having to resort to that to find out what was going on. I used to belong to the NIH board back when it existed and hung out in the neuro section/ Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) area as much as I hung out here, I'm guessing that may be where I heard it.
