Hello friends.
My son is 11 years old and he had his first seizure about a month ago and he was rushed to the emergency room and he had another seizure this morning.
The doctors did a cat scan , blood tests and all was clean bill of health but I am setting him up an appointment to see the doctor again friday because the first doctor said that the first seizure was probably a freak of nature and gave no medications for it but since it happened again , I know there is something wrong.
He does watch a good deal of t.v and he plays on the computer sometimes and then some friends say he may be going thru withdrawels from sodas because i stopped buying sodas and made him drink water , kool-aid or milk and tea and etc... but I find that hard to believe.
His seizures only lasted about 3-5 minutes each time then he is dazed and confused when i awake him to check his awareness and that he is ok and all but during the seizure he curls up real tight and makes weird noises and gags (so i layed him on his side and pried his mouth open to hold down the tounge with a spoon (I tried my finger this morning because i was no where near the kitchen at the time and my finger stil hurts))
I have been reading up on photosensitive epilepsy and I believe this may be the cause for his seizures but i am no doctor but this has got me worried.
any advise?
