My eight year old daughter has had epilepsy for five years and I have noticed that the types of seizures have changed over this time. When they first started she would stare off and they would last anywhere from 30 min. to 60 min. The last two years, she has been getting more, I think, tonic clonic seizures.....
Over the last year, we have not witnessed Tahya's seizures, only the after affects. They all happen really early. She roughly gets one or so a month. It is always the same routine...she wakes up and someone usually hears her crying. Her color is off and you can tell she is in pain. She says her head hurts so bad she can't handle it. I give her the migraine meds, and I rub her head for about an hour, in between her throwing up. Then she falls asleep for about 3 - 5 hours. She is on Zonegran, Lyrica and just failed Lamictal.
I just received all of her medical reports and I was reading through.
Can you please explain what this means..."These are rarely generalized but appear to have a left central temporal maximum". "I suspect this is complex partial epilepsy although generalized epilepsy cannot be excluded".
I have been reading different book, but it is still confusing!!
Thanks.
