Hemiplegic?
Thu, 04/06/2017 - 11:59Topic: New to Epilepsy.com
This is all new to me. I've had migraines for at least 31 years now. Up till now, I would have said that I've only had 1 seizure in my life. Recently I have seen videos of Hemiplegic seizures and focal seizures during migraines. When I have a migraine, I will rock back and forth and moan loudly. I am conscious, and I thought I was doing this consciously since I can never remember not doing it and, to me, it seems to calm things. I am now wondering if these could be Hemiplegic seizures? Usually my whole torso rocks, but sometimes its my head or just an arm.
I astounds me to think I could have been having seizures for all these years and not realized it.
