Clusters?
Wed, 11/15/2006 - 19:41Topic: Living With Epilepsy - Youth
What do you peeps mean when you mention clusters? I mean, is a cluster something that happens within minutes? Or days or weeks even? Or yes to all the above?

Clusters can be headaches or seizures. It is group of them that is too hard to stop. Sometimes have to be stopped with diastat, Ativan Liquid or go in an emergency room. It is usually hours, or a day or so.
take care

To me a cluster is the say kind of seizure hitting me seconds after the seizure right before I am focused. Which is different from cluser seizures.
