asking how I was doing since Ive returned home from having the VEEG.
I told her about the seizures that occured saturday, the day after I got home, which I had 6 in about a 45 minute or so time spand. She sounded suprised. She asked if I was on medication, which I said, Keppra XR. But that none of the seizures has since occured since saturday, but I have had the feeling of auras and numbing/tingling feelings in the middle of the night... around 3-4am. I wake up with these feelings and move around to try to get it to go away. She sounded suprised that I havnt had any seizures the past 4 days now. Yesterday I recieved papers from the psych dr. Im suppose to feel out some papers and take them with me on friday when I have my appointment. I cant believe the questions they ask! If you have anything "Major" happen in the last year, and they have a list of stuff you can choose from... like someone dieing, or a birth of a child, etc.
The only thing I could check off was being hospitalized for my VEEG last week. Im just so eager to see what will all be said about these seizures that took place while I was doing the VEEG. Then they happened on saturday too while I was home, but nothing since then.
My gut is telling me from what Ive researched is that they are simple partial seizures, because I was consious through out the entire seizure, and had the stomach pain, tingling-numbness in my hands and feet before the seizure took place, and also had the aura feeling before it happened. I felt really sad before the seizure would hit too. Then I had the jerking all over, which then had the numbness intensify all through out my body, especially my face. The seizure would end and I would go back to being my normal self again.
I am going to bring some papers I printed off, that I can point out to this dr all of what I experienced and how I think they were the simple partial seizures. I havnt had anymore since saturday, so the Keppra XR must be working! [/U]
