bugs all over

Well my daughter was doing really well for almost a month.The other night she started freaking out that there were bugs crawling all over her body bitting her.She was franticly trying to get them off.She was scratching so much that she almost rubbed her legs raw. I called neuro and they had me give her ativan.An hour later It put her to sleep and all was okay until the next morning. She was so emotional.Everything made her cry.This went on for hours.Again back on the phone with neuro.Time to up the meds.School starts soon and I'm really afraid she isnt going to do well.

that is a partial complex seizure, does she normally have this type of sz? if not read about them in the info part of this website and then ask your doc if med she is on will take care of tht type of sz. good luck banffgirl

Thanks banffgirl for the reply.She does have partial complex seizures but this is only the second time she has acted this way. I talked to neuro and they raised her med.
