One seizure was enough
Mon, 07/03/2006 - 21:27Topic: New to Epilepsy.com
Hi, All,
I'm new here--stopped by the site looking for info after having my first (and so far, knock on wood, only) seizure two weeks ago. I'm 28. It scared the daylights out of me and my family.
My EEG and MRI were clear. Doctor said right now the best thing to do is try to stay healthy and wait and see what happens next--that if something's wrong, I'll have another. Could be just a fluke or a blood sugar thing, etc. I'm sure you folks know the possibilities better than I. I would like to perhaps get a second opinion (did not love neurologist #1) and keep gathering information.
Anybody else had just one? Or have any advice for me in this uncertain time??
Thanks for providing this place for support and info, y'all...I appreciate it.

Dear Emilly,
I know it's an old post, but what you described is a copy of what happened to our 6 yrs old on August 11th. Eye infection, tonic seizure, and spikes on EEG. How are you doing? Did you have any more seizure? She had not have any more since that first one, but still we do not know what to expect. We will meet the neuro on Oct 24, and till then she has to take the 48 hours EEG test.
