Increased Seizures during the Holidays?

Sat, 12/30/2006 - 10:12
This year we really noticed an increase with our son's seizure activity leading up to the Holidays. Can someone tell me if they to have noticed this or if excitement can trigger additional seizures. He appears to be much better now that Christmas is over. Thanks

Yes Yes Yes, glad to hear from you. My daughter has had more than usual during the holidays, and leading up to the holidays. She seems better this week. Also she was sick the week befor x-mas with tonsillitis and had a fever of 102 and she was having many until the fever broke. My nero said that with added stress this can trigger more seizures. Hope this helps. Teresa for my Angelbaby

Thank you...for awhile I thought we were losing it. It was the worst that we had seen him in sometime. Funny thing was we had him in for an EEG during this time period and it was normal. Thanks again
