partial

Hi guys - I've been lurking for a while and wanted to ask a couple of questions about your experiences. I've been taking lamotrigine for around 10 years and it has definitely reduced my generalized seizures but I've noticed a rise in partials in the last year or so. I started Keppra last...

I often during wakeup at night/morning have numbness/weakness in my left bodypart. Mostly my left arm, but sometimes my whole left side included my left eyelid. I was born with a dysfunchtion in my right temporal lobe. Can it be nocturnal simple partial epilepsy? I have No pinched nerves when...

As I was sitting on the couch chatting with my mom, I felt as if I was going to throw up. Then it felt like I pulled every muscle in my back. About five minutes later, she reminded me that I had a seizure, and it wasn't a grand mal.... I had no warning signs at all. I've never had this type...

I was put on lamictal for one month, today is the second month I would be taking it. I was prescribed 25mg for 2 weeks then 50 mg for 2 weeks. I wasn't able to pick up my presction and I was out for 3 days. One the last day (yesterday) I hadn't taken it for 3 days. I was taking a walk with...

Hey I'm new to this forum. After many blank stares and confused looks about my symptoms I decided to turn to you to point me in the right direction. So here's my story: About a year ago, I went to the hospital for amnesia. Yes, I literally could not remember the day before. I had a 24 hour...

Hi everyone..I'm in need of some advice from experienced parents. My story so far....... Approx 7 months ago my son (aged 4 1/2y at the time) experienced a tonic clonic seizure without warning and without a temperature at the time. Immediately after his temperature became raised. The hospital...

Has anyone had a Grand Mal first, then either a Simple or Complex Partial Seizure? From the description I've been given about mine, sounds like I had a Grand Mal, then a Complex Partial. I was unconscious for the Grand Mal, then they say I was unaware of where I was and don't remember anything...

I've only had one Grand Mal seizure but since I've been studying about seizures, I realize I think I may have had a Partial Complex seizure a few years ago. I hadn't thought about it for a long time until recently and it occurred to me that it may indeed have been a seizure. I was in Walmart...

Okay, I had my seizure January 4th 2011 & it was a grand mal seizure. Unconcsious for several minutes with no recollection of ride to the hospital & woke up in the ambulance, then next thing woke in the ER. Of course the did a cat scan, normal. Then saw Neurologist 2 weeks later, he did initial...

A Seizure in Three Phases (Suspected Rolandic Somatosensory Generalized Seizures) I'll try to be as succinct as possible in hopes of a little feedback on what seem to be very uncommon symptoms: _____ Auras (Simple Partial Seizure) (5-10 Seconds): -Description: (The person may feel a sense of...

Hi: My Neuro has suggested adding Topamax to my current Tegretol to try and eliminate the complex partial seizures I'm experiencing about 2 or 3 times a week. After doing some research on the nicknamed Dopamax, I'm interested to hear from others who also took this drug and Tegretol at the same...

I think I had a partial seizure during my MRI last week - my eyes were blinking more rapidly than I could ever do by myself, headache in right temple, a numb feeling spread kind of down my face and a small tremor in my right arm. It probably only lasted less than a minute, but does anyone know...
