Seizures changing does that happen???

Sat, 09/30/2006 - 23:05
I am trying to figure this out..my daughter Emily Klair is 3 1/2 years old and has had absence and drop seizures we just found out that they were generalized with a veeg this July. Anywho she got sick about 2 weeks ago well she had her first tonic clonic seizure and she had them all week morning and night. We just assumed that it was because she was sick and the Dr. put her on some valum morning and night and then gave us some new diastat to carry with us. Well it has been 2 weeks and we are still having these seizures. The Dr. does not seem to be to worried but I am wondering why they are changing all of a sudden and becoming more frequent. You look at her and she has big dark circles under her eyes and she does not look like my Emmy Klair..my husband and family and friends are really concerned she looks unwell. Just wondered if anybody else was going through this...thanks for the feedback... Emily Klair's mom...Kari

Kari~ I know this post was a long time ago but I was wondering how your daughter is doing. This sounds EXACTLY what my 3 1/2 yr old son is going through now. Hope all is well. Please let me know! Thanks Brooke

Sadly, yes seizures can change. My son began with febrile to complex partial, to complex partial that generalized, and now he has a combo of both. Can be full tonic-clonic, or him just clicking his tongue. He can sometimes walk around during a seizure. This changes have happened over the last couple years. Puberty may be an issue. He is now 12. So, good luck.
