Would you call this a simple partial seizure?

[momof3boys]

Im trying to figure out what kind of seizure this would be......

Before the seizure, I would get the aura, the feeling like something is going to happen......

then comes the numbness in my hands and feet....

then the turning of my head to my right.....

Jerking of my right side of my body.....

at times would go to my whole body jerking....

the numbness would then go directly to my face area... especially in the roof of my mouth, in the area of my eyes, and nose, and mouth.

I would have stiffening of my arms and legs, especially my hands which I turn outward when the seizure is occuring.

I just want to be able to describe the seizures that took place to my dr and know what kind they are.

Oh and Im consious through out this all happening....

Thanks!

Yes, those seem to be simple partial seizures that manifest in myoclonus (jerking movements).

You're on top of things, let's hope your doctor is too!

Oh yes, Im praying he is on the top of things too! I didnt get to speak to him sunday when I called about the mood changes. I spoke to the PA. Im hoping he has heard the news of the mood changes and going down in the dosage of the Vimpat. I am eager to see what happens between now and when I see him.
