5 Seizures last night from Mcdonalds Hamburger or Exhaustion?
Fri, 06/05/2015 - 14:47Hello, my son has seizures at night and they have never been under control. However I thought we were beginning to get them a little bit under control because he was having maybe 1-2 or 3 at the most at night... Last night he had 5 strong longer lasting seizures. I am trying to pin down triggers because this is all new to us. I gave in to a McDonalds burger something we never do...it was a sirloin 1/4 pounder...that he ate. But he also had a new swimming class that overly exhausted him. I guess both of the situations could have contributed...but does anyone know for sure. Thank you for any insight.
Well I read the posts. I also

Well I read the posts. I also know how medications might need changed or increased. As one ages or their weight changes the medication dosage may need to be increased. I had mine changed 4 times in about 1 year. All because I grew. I was 4'8" amd weighed 58lbs. I was 5'6" and 140lbs. changes were made in my medication about every 2-3 months. Without the changes in dosage I was having more seizures.
