tonic seizures

hi, i have just joined in. I am a mother of two girls. my youngest daughter is 2 1/2 years old. I have noticed that she like to have her own space to lie down on the floor to stiffen her feet and hand. At times it would turn bluish. If I distract her by massaging her feet, she get angry. I have been wanting to consult with doctor but I don't know where to go. Could anyone tell me if this is in fact a type of seizure. Thank you for your help. Sincerely, Monica

My son started having

My son started having seizures he had his first seizure at 6 year within 12 hours We spent 6 days in the hospital where different doctors looking at different things couldn’t agree on why he suffered a seizure… He has had genetic tests including a muscle biopsy. I used to wonder why my son were getting so many vaccinations shots at such a young age, Still the doctors wouldn’t admit it was the vaccination shots. After his 2nd seizure I wouldn’t allow my son to be vaccinated anymore but I believe the damage is done. It was during a casual conversation with a friend that I learned about Doctor Lawson Bryan i was so glad to know him on how his herbal product work, I contacted Lawson and explain everything to him and make purchase of his product. few days later i received the herbal medicine my son used it for 3 mouths i notice improvement in less than a month my son was totally cured of seizure now he have not experience any sign of seizure. Contact doctor Lawson  on this  (979) 475-5130 or e-mail dr.lawson52@gmail.com

Hi Monica and welcome. I'm sorry your daughter is having problems. Could it be a tonic seizure? Can't say from here, but why not get her on to the doctor? Couldn't hurt. Hope the both of you come out OK. -cc

Go to your daughters pediatrician. He/she will be the best person to begin with in telling you what is going on. The doctor can also recommend a pediatric neurologist to you if one is needed. Most specialists request a referral from a primary care physician. I hope everything turns out well for you. Emily
