seizures at night

Mon, 01/03/2005 - 18:50

I have a question to ask anyone out there.  I have complex partial seizures.  I do not know what happened, but this morning I woke up and my back was killing me.  I would like to know if it is possible if someone like myself could have a seizure at night, and hurt their back by doing something to it?  Reason I ask this is because I did nothing that I can think of that would have hurt my back this much

Stressed Parent, My 6 year old son was diagnosed with BRE (Benign Rolandic Epilepsy) in November 2004. I have been told that his seizures will probably always occur at night - either just as he's fallen asleep or just as he's about to wake up.

My daughter also has seizures at night.  As soon as she starts falling asleep she will have one.  Also if she dozes in the car it triggers a seizure.  Recently her pattern has switched to mostly daytime which i think is worse since she has seizures during school hours.  She is taking carbatrol but it isnt working 100%.  Good luck

If you wouldn't mind, could you share with us your daughter's diagnosis of the type of epilepsy? I'm curious about the pattern switch and was wondering how that might be tied into her type of epilepsy. Thank you & best of luck to you as well
