Hi, I'm new to this site and wanted to introduce myself. I am 36 year old mom of 2. I was diagnosed 11 years ago with a "seizure disorder" but once I was diagnosed I realized that I have been having seizures since I was a kid. I started remembering times of "de ja vu" that made me feel really weird and tired. I remember other things that now I know were absence seizures or simple partials. They didn't happen often and I never told anybody. Anyway, now I have had all kinds of seizures.
My kids are 14 and 9 during my pregnancy with my 9 year old son I started having up to 8 tonic clonic's a day. After he was born the seizures started to be worse around my menstrual cycle. I had a hysterectomy last year it has helped with the seizures but not totally.
My latest problem is with my 9 year old. He already suffers from an anxiety disorder, mostly from worrying about my seizures. A few weeks ago he had an "incident" he came downstairs and was pale, his eyes looked lost, he told us that the rooms upstairs looked backwards like they were in the wrong place. He said he felt funny in his belly, and scared like something bad was going to happen. Then he looked around and said the room was backwards. Then he fell asleep. This scared the heck out of me because what he said described my "auras" exactly. He has never heard me describe an aura...I just say I feel crooked in front of him. Anyway, we took him to the Dr. where we found out that he had crawled down the stairs and he didn't remember everything he said to us. He has had an EEG which was negative..(so are all of mine) tomorrow we have an appt at the ped neuro.
Wow that was a big intro. Sorry about that....once I start about my son I can't stop.
