Decrease of frequency of seizures but increase of Auras ?

Sun, 10/24/2010 - 03:42
My daughter has had a decrease in actual epileptic episodes but now she gets auras every 2-3 days. These auras last a couple of minutes and deep breathing seems to help. Any ideas / suggestions / thoughts... Thanks Karbhari

When I was in college my partial/complex decreased,  when I was taking mid-terms and finals.   The simple partial seizures occurred.  They were 2 to 3 sec. and I was not remembering as well as I could of.  If I slept better and not under stress.  

The University I went to had a project where they had quiet rooms, the gym had yoga classes during this interim.  I passed and I noticed the auras or partial seizures seemed to melt away, w/ this type of rest.

takin it on

I just had a hearing about being disabled still, during it I was having eye flickers and so forth. I was from the stress of so many delays and misunderstandings to the entire case. There is no way of telling wether or not this would have happend at the same time had I not been in there. I don't believe it would have. Discussing the extent on which seizure impact my life was not helping.
