Seizures During Sleep

starting monday i began to research about seizure and epilepsy. since my son got a seizure last sunday 2am and 5am, this is his first time. last monday i went to his pedia but he refer me to another doctor. that day i cant stop my self from crying.he got the simple partial epilepsy. i thought this is just simply seizure that can easy to be healed. now, i followed the doctor medications. and i also ask help in my neighbors...the do's. i let my son eat fish ( fattyy fish ex. piña2x (called in the philippines), banana every meal and snack time,tu-ob (bisaya term) once a week or twice a month (this is same as sauna but you have to put pahid, burn rice (brownish in color), ice water,etc. and every night i wipe him with luke warm water and give him an oil massage. these are the traditional way,. also,stay away in radiation,need early sleep, not giving him bad feeling (angry, fear and depressed) and as possible not too much use of the mind. and dont forget the on-time taking of medicine. thanks to God he's doing ok!

during meal my family also eat what my son eats..like fish, browished rice and banana. we give him lots of hugs and kisses...we, just pray that he will totally ok...

Hi!

I have noticed that when I am sleep deprived, exhausted, dehydrated, and have been an emotional wreck, it can cause them.  I believe I actually had one yesterday, after not having my meds for 3 days..ugh.  I have been very emotional the last week (one family member having passed away, and another suffering a heart attack while saying goodbye to the first.) also relationship problems.  So I have been crying a lot, not sleeping, very exhausted from all of that.  I have not been eating very well, if at all.  Stomach problems (both kinds), so I have been dehydrated.  I have noticed that harder I try to keep myself awake, I start feeling "weird".  Lightheaded, lethargic, headaches, dizziness.  I feel that, for me, those are warning signs.  I believe I have had some in my sleep.  I wake up exhausted, as if I havent slept a wink, or I sleep in so late that the whole day is pratically gone.  I have made calls that I dont remember, and texts that are so off the wall, they are almost funny.  I look at them and like, wtf did I say?  Wake up with bruises I cant explain, or cuts that are either still bleeding or scabbing.  I figure, if im sleeping and they happen, at least im not driving when they do.  That is how I found out about my seizure disorder....a head on collision.
