My son has just been diagnosed Benign Focal Epilepsy and whenever has a seizure his upper body goes stiff , his head jerks to the side his eyelashes flutter and it looks as if he is laughing , he is going back to school tomorrow for half days after having nearly 4 weeks off . It has been trial and error with the meds he was having 3 drops of Clonazepan morning and night and they were literally sucking the life right out of him, he was so drowsy and dizzy there was no way he could function properly at school so now i have had to cut it back to 2 drops what a difference , he is more alert but still dizzy now and then , he is also on 18 ml of tegretol morning and night ,the clonazepan is just a coverage until the tegretol kicks in . Anyway i am worried sick ,about sending him back to school incase he has a seizure in the playground and that the other kids will just think he is laughing and being silly and he will lose his balance and hit his head . I know i cannot wrap him up in cotton wool forever his teacher knows what to look out for and she has told all the kids in the class ,and the Principle has informned all of the other teachers , but i still cannot shake this worrying feeling i have . I was wondering if anyone else has experienced these sorts of seizures where the child looks like they are laughing ?
