Screaming during a seizure???
Wed, 01/12/2005 - 16:02I'm just wondering, apparently I scream while having a seizure, enough so that someone could think I was being murdered... Is this normal? I'd really like to know.

HI.I WANTED TO COMMENT ON YOUR CHILDS DOCTORS PUSHING WHATS HAPPENING TO YOUR CHILD ON G.I EXCUSES. WE WENT YTHROUGH THE SAME THING WITH OUR DAUGHTER, SHE WAS HAVING EPISODES THAT LOOKED LIKE SEIZURES 3 IN A HALF YEARS AGO AND THE DOCTORS REFERRED US TO A G.I. DOCTOR THAT DIAGNOSED THESE EPISODES AS BEING ACID REFLUX. WE FAULT THEM TOOTH AND NAIL THAT THESE THINGS WERE INFANTILE SPASMS, NO-ONE WOULD LISTEN. 22 MONTHS LATER WE FOUND OUT THATS JUST WHAT THEY WERE;INFANTILE SPASMS.. NOW SHES 4-YEARS OLD AND HAS DEVELOPED LENNOX-GASTOUT SYNDROME AND SHES BEEN EVALUATED AS BEING ON A THREE-MONTH OLD LEVEL. PLEASE DONT LET THIS HAPPEN TO YOUR CHILD,ONLY YOU KNOW TRULY WHATS GOING ON WITH YOUR DAUGHTER AND YOU HAVE TO BE THEIR ADVOCATE, AND IF THEY WONT LISTEN, KEEP PUSHING AND GET SECOND OPINIONS IF NECCASARY AND DOCUMENT EVERYTHING...GOOD LUCK..
