I agree they should look closer into the staring
spells people have as a child and rather than say
nothing is wrong cause they do not see abnormality
in the eeg they should do MRI's and other testing
and look at it closer. Far to often they think
a psychological problem exist when in fact it is
seizure activity that if they stopped what they
see would also deminish and stop. Also some have
misdiagnosed seizure stare spells as ADD and put
people on things like ridilin which worsens the
condition and people who go thru this find in
their adult years they are worse off. Also the
failure to treat a case in childhood is nearly
a guarantee of worse more full blown seizures
in adult years where as if it were treated
proper in childhood years the chances of
seizures getting worse is far less. Untreated
abnormal electrical activity relating to seizures
gets worse and also spreads because the nature of
how the brain is effected by the abnormal
discharges and is also asking for things like
atrophy to occur in one or more areas of the
brain. I to didn't have a first grandmal until
17 or 18 but have had seizures since 8yr that
went untreated by many medical professionals
as a child and was given antipsychotics which
cause seizures as a child. every eeg shows
spikes regardless of how many hours I slept
before hand and an MRI shows right hipocampus
mesial temprol sclerosis and am just recently
starting to have problems with blood chemistry
that the neuro I see don't know what is causing
it or why it is there one prob has to do with
depleted sodium levels which in body chemistry
is part of brain chemistry and has to do with
inner cortex of brain chemistry where potasium
has to do with outer cortex and they interact
in a balancing of brain chemistry.
