[QUOTE="slsh, post: 382571, member: 8"] JJJ, never *ever* thought I'd say this, but hopefully this will be good news for Tigger. At least you've got something really solid (and definable) to start treating aggressively now. Boo has grand mal szs (partial complex in neuro speak). Obviously no behavior component, but he absolutely gets an aura before they hit (we call it the Elvis sneer - but it's freakishly reliable - if he's got a one-sided sneer, I'm getting the Diastat out). The nausea sounds like it may be Tigger's aura. Do you think it would be helpful for Tig to work on recognizing his aura and for you guys to come up with a plan? I don't know... lie down at first hint of nausea or thinking he threw up (I always worry about injury in unprotected seizures), warning an adult, and making sure that all adults who might be around him *know* to not ignore his warnings? Hopefully the medications will control and it won't be necessary, but... I'm all about plans, LOL. Kinda good news, actually. [/QUOTE]
