Severe leg pain/tingling and seizures

Tue, 05/12/2009 - 08:49

I am at wits end for my daughter. Diagnosed 4 years ago. Have not yet found a med that works for her. Lately she has constant seveer leg pain/tingling. She has to get up and walk around saying Ow OW OW OW  till it subsides.  Yesterday she had 7 eposides - 2 of which went into seizures.  Today looks like another day of the same.  First leg feeling at 5am and again on bus en route to school. Has anyone had similar expereices?????

We are not getting anywhere with our docs.

Thanks.

My daughter has the same thing but in her foot. After a couple of years it was finally diagnosed as senory seizures.Lamictal has improved them alot. She went from having several a day to going sometimes a few weeks without one.
