Over 40 Different Types Of Seizures.......
Sat, 05/06/2006 - 23:47It has been said repeatedly that there are over 40 different types of seizures with more or less only the most 'popular' listed. Let's see if we can locate the ones that aren't. These types of seizures affect someone and I feel need to be noted. I'm curious to see how many can be located. Anyone interested in helping me find them, please list what you find here along with their description. Thank you! Take care and have a good day!

Hi...
there are also "Eating seizures".
Doose Syndrome
and don't forget that many individuals who have been diagnosed with autism also are challenged with epilepsy.
Such a daunting task you've taken on! Keep up the great work!

Sandi,
I think I covered some of the different reflex seizures on the Part 11 thread which included eating seizures, but I'll check and make sure. I have Doose Syndrome on my list to put on there also, but if you think of or see any types of seizures, epilepsies, or syndromes - please let me know or add them please! Thank you so much!
