Topic: Parents & Caregivers

Hello...I am new to this site...my son may have petite mal seizures....since finding out that this may be true, we have been noticing a few things recently....the one I have that is most standing out is Vomiting....when sleeping he has been...for over a 2 months...waking at night and vomitting...he has gone days....to weeks without vomitting....attributed to a stomach bug the first few times..but tonight...I began to wonder if he is possibly vomitting following a seizure....the doctor said that he could be having multiple ones while sleeping. Has anyone every heard of this....my net search has been rendered useless! Thanks Mom to one cool 7 year old and one 8 month old diva!

I'm so glad I finally joined this, My son is eight now, his first major seizure was three years ago. I was wondering about the link to vomiting and epilepsy, and I agree that either it comes because he's had one, or because he's going to have one. It's scary to not know when or what's happening. Today is day four of his flu, and each time he complains about stomach ache I wonder if it was caused from the spacing out. Hopefully our doctor will call tomorrow and I can get some answers. He misses so much school!
