Severe leg pain/tingling and seizures
Tue, 05/12/2009 - 08:49I am at wits end for my daughter. Diagnosed 4 years ago. Have not yet found a med that works for her. Lately she has constant seveer leg pain/tingling. She has to get up and walk around saying Ow OW OW OW till it subsides. Yesterday she had 7 eposides - 2 of which went into seizures. Today looks like another day of the same. First leg feeling at 5am and again on bus en route to school. Has anyone had similar expereices?????
We are not getting anywhere with our docs.
Thanks.
I was recently diagnosed with

I was recently diagnosed with epilepsy after having 4 seizures related to sleep. For years I'd had severe leg/foot cramping at night. I was first given potassium supplements--which did help (and I still take them). A few days ago I forgot to take my Keppra and last night I was up again with terrible leg cramps...almost like the muscles have a pulse of their own in many different spots. It's hard to describe...just a horrible pain. When I had my seizure sleep study done, I remember one doctor mentioning that the cramps could be "mini-seizures." Now I'm wondering if it's all related.
