POTLUCK Posted June 15, 2012 Report Share Posted June 15, 2012 http://www.ncbi.nlm..../pubmed/7821273These spike wave discharge, among other types of discharge showed up on my inpatient continuous monitoring EEG. I was told these ones were insignificant despite being pervasive thougout EEG by the neurologist. The others she could not explain, so gave me epilepsy diganosis again ( diagnosed 20 years ago ) of Temporal Lobe Epilepsy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemons2lemonade Posted June 15, 2012 Report Share Posted June 15, 2012 I also had insignificant spikes in my eeg. Wonder if there is something here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
POTLUCK Posted June 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2012 I think they are significant in my case. You could check what the name for the spikes was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenglynn Posted June 15, 2012 Report Share Posted June 15, 2012 I just started having "seizures" during syncope over the last week or two. I'm 38 years old and never have had seizures, of course, I'm not awake and relying on my family to describe it. I do know that I've had incontinence with these (sorry if TMI) nd never had before. The whole scope of my illness is gradually changing. I'm having a lot of one side of the body spells- where I can't do anything on that side. It's numb, I can't see, my leg twitches.... Every week or 2 things change...J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzysillyak Posted June 15, 2012 Report Share Posted June 15, 2012 I'm not following how epilepsy causes pots. I have petite mals regularly when I'm upright but not while laying down. So I thought my oi / hypoperfusion caused the petite mals. Dr peckerman hasan article on this. Fwiw tho, I had petite mals as a kid but never as often as I do now. My neurologist wanted me to stay awake all night prior to having an eeg, so I declined it. That was right afterhaving a 2 hour seizure so I wasn't willing to risk it.Tc ..

POTLUCK Posted June 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2012 Dizzy-Dr Low did something on this briefly in a video someone posted on here. About how epilepsy can affect the autonomic nervous system, or low oxygen can cause the epilepsy. He did not give a lot of info. I have had the Partial Complex Seizure Diagnosis ( Temporal Lobe Epilepsy ) for 20 years and have seen in many sources that it can affect the autonomic nervous system. I never thought it was affecting my autonomic nervous system before my dizziness started in Dec 2009, but I was also on Propranolol BID the whole 20 years for tremor from the antiepileptic. I do not know the actual mechanism of seizure affecting the autonomic system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
