Having after effects of a seizure days later, is it normal?

You posted she was hospitalized and tested. If it was done by the ER then those doctors may not have known everything they need to know about epilepsy and seizures. If she saw a neurologist specializing in epilepsy then fine, There are 2 main tests to find out if she has epilepsy. One is an EEG the other is a MRI. If it were my child I would be wanting to take her to a epileptiologist and discuss this issue. A person can have back to back seizures which are cluster seizures and there are medications that stop the clusters. There are other seizures which look like absence seizures that aren't absence seizures. A focal seizure will look like one unless it generalizes. If the focal seizure generalizes it then looks like a grand mal seizure. Been there done that Oh and focal seizures are now being called partial seizures. Some people in here try to correct me when I post focal seizure. The reason is I was diagnosed before they specialized. That was when they came up with types of epilepsy and types of seizures. I hope this helps and she gets the assistance she needs. Joe

When you say the EEG wasn't normal what exactly do you mean? Did they say she had abnormal brain waves? Did they by chance tell you if it was on one side or the other? For example I have what is considered generalized epilepsy because it is on both sides of my brain. Was she sick in anyway when this happened ( fever, hadn't been sleeping well)? Or had she bumped her head at all? Even bumping it softly is harmful if you bump just the right spot. Sorry for rambling but to Answer your question; yes it is normal for your mind body and personal traits to come back. Seizures take so much out of you! After i have a seizure arms, legs and sometimes my whole body will just twitch really hard and if someone brings it to my attention I honestly have no idea I did it. I will sometimes walk up to the walls and repeatedly hit my head on the wall and I will argue with them swearing I did not do it! But I have changed over the years but I am on so many different medication that doesn't help. P.S does anybody in your family's have a history with the condition?

Abnormailites in the EEG is seizure activity. All a seizure is is an electrical impulse going off wrong in the brain which causes a chain reaction. The area the abnormalities came from is the area they would be looking closer at in the MRI to see if there are any signs of deformities in groth or even scar tissue from a blow to the head. If she seems to be having back to back seizures in a day then ask her neurologist to prescribe a recovery medication. I take one after my first simple partial seizure which then stops the clustering and I don't have any other seizures that day. So check with him. They have emergency medication for children which if used right it keeps you out of the ER I hope this helps and she gets the assistance she needs Joe PS I do love mothers and what they do. I wouldn't be here if it weren't for a mothers prayer.
