Epilepsia partialis continua (Continuous partial epilepsy) is a condition where the seizures occur in individuals for hours on end. For me, they have ranged from two to over four hours. They are quite rare for me, however. During two of these seizures, I was taken to the hospital, in a desperate attempt to figure out what was going on and find relief. My blood pressure elevated to 190/135 for prolonged periods. Eventually the seizures ended leaving me exhausted. Continuous partial epilepsy is considered uncontrollable, and mitochondrial disorders are untreatable as well, if you believe what you read. The mitochondria are considered the energy/power supply centers of the cell.
In addition, I go through extented periods where my skin is sensitive to sunlight and will initiate seizures. These seizures end shortly after I am out of the sunlight. I recently went through many months of the sunlight directly causing seizures through this process. This occurs because the skin uses sunlight to produce vitamin D, and the radiation of the sun emits heat. It is the UV rays that are primarily involved in this process. The sun reacts with the mitochondria in the cells and initiates chemical reactions. The chemical reactions change the extracellar and intracelluar polarity. These changes initiate electrical signals to the brain along the dendrites and axons of the nervous system and travel through the brainstem. The subsequent brain voltage disequilibrium leads to seizures, whereby the excess energy is released and brain homeostasis is again achieved.
There are certain medications which are mitochondrially activating. These medications come with warnings to that extent. These medications may cause a burning sensation on the skin from (instantaneous exposure to sun).
There are people who are "allergic" to sunlight.
Fortunately for me, I am now only experiencing pain after minimal exposure to the sun. It is a significant improvement to experiencing seizures from sunlight. I do not as yet know what is responsible for the decrease in me epidermal reactivity.
UV radiation is extremelly penetrating, I think. I had other adverse, potentially life threatenting physiological reactions which I am still in the process of properly articulating.
I am wondering if anyone has researched mitochondrial disorders further.
Mitochondrial disorders can be diagnosed via muscle biopsy and genetic testing.
