New Seizure Activity? Need Help!
Wed, 01/09/2019 - 11:36Topic: Parents & Caregivers
Hello, I am new to this group. I have an 18 year old son who started have tonic clonic seizures when he was 15. He only had them once every couple of months. A year ago he had two different instances where he had two tonic clonic seizures in the same day. In between the two seizures he had a long period of his head dropping down slightly and jerking twice and going back up. It did that over and over again for hours. He was seizure free for 8 months and then one day started the head dropping thing but no tonic clonic seizure. His head just did that over and over again for a couple of hours and then stopped. He has had three of those episodes in the past 3 weeks. I can't seem to find anyone who has had anything like that before. The dr isn't convinced its actual seizures but doesnt seem too concerned to find out what it is either. Can anyone help me?? Thank you! -Eliza
