well i will start off with how my son was diagnosed with E in the first place....my husband had told me toward the end of november that he was noticing these "twitches" of my son's arm at night..(i work as a waitress so i was not home during these events) I did not believe my husband....i had even said something along the lines at maybe he was over reacting or maybe our son was just chilly.....
well low and behold i happened to be off on a friday night and had noticed the "twitches" they were in clusters...and it lasted about maybe 5 minutes..then he immediately went to sleep afterwards.....then the next day he did it again in the afternoon(again crashed out for about 2 hours afterwards) then again in the evening..and the middle of the night and then again on that sunday morning....i was starting to get really scared at this point so we called the doctor and she advised us to go into the e.r. because it sounded like seizures.... so we get there and they ask us a million questions..(to be honest the actual e.r. doctors were bone heads and one of them even had the balls to say.."you can put a gun to my head and i would tell you they are not seizures"....well anyway he decided to call nuerology down anyway...they did their exam and asked a million questions and then had witnessed a seizure in front of them.....they immediately ordered a CT scan and admitted him...the CT scan came back clear...but they ordered an eeg..which unfortunatly cam back abnormal.....
i will say i absolutely love his nuero team...and everytime i call and leave a message for the doctor she get back to me no later than an hour...has taken her time into explaining the meds and the next step in treatment... i guess we just got luckey.....
