Is there a way of knowing what sort of seizures I have and what causes it?!


Question: Is there a way of knowing what sort of seizures I have and what causes it!?
When I was 6 months old I had a seizure!. My mom told me that a neighbor drove me to the hospital in his semi-truck, speeding and running redlights to get there in time!.

Well last night I had another one!. Its been 23 1/2 years since my last seizure!. I didn't want to stay overnight at the hospital!. God I am so sore and I just wanted to get in my nice comfortable bed because I got one of those memoryfoam beds!. I have this big scar on my head from thrashing around, my sides were really sore, but my muscles are stronger today!.

When I got to the hospital they took a lot of blood from me, 5 vials worth, and did a catscan!. They said everything looked ok!.
My mom was really really really REALLY worried about me!.!.!. everyone was, and I felt bad, because they shouldn't have to go through that!.

Anyway I tried looking up information!.!.!.I am really kinda lost!. There are so many things!.!.!. for one, I know it says on Wikipedia that you can get seizures from physical abuse!. My question is, what is defined as physical abuse!? My father didn't abuse me like he did my mother, but physical abuse did take place a number of times, and mental abuse happened a lot back then!.

I was in the car passenger seat when it happened!. I've been in front of strobe lights without having a problem before!.!.!. I really can't imagine what caused this!.

Any insight at all is very helpful!.
Thanks for your help and understanding!.Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
Are you under a lot of stress!? I have seizures about twice a year due to stress, I have one every 6 months or so!. I went to a neurologist and he told me the seizures I have are brought on by stress!. He prescribed me some medicine (it's little white beads inside a clear tube)!. I don't know what it's called because I don't take it!. I don't like taking medications, I believe in natural healing for the most part!. I've been having these since I was 16, in high school getting ready for my last volleyball game of the season!. I was under tremendous stress due to my job, school, the team and my parents divorce!. Ever since then I've been having one about every 6 months!. Luckily, I haven't had one this year at all and it's October!! I'm trying to live alittle bit more stressless!. Well, good luck and get to a neurologist asap!Www@Answer-Health@Com

You are right that seizures can be brought on my stress and lights!. I would make sure to go to your family doctor for a follow-up treatment!. You may need medication to prevent anymore seizures!. They are upsetting but you should not feel bad about having people care!. Www@Answer-Health@Com

Wow, Chosen1, I'm so sorry! My older brother had a seizure when he was about 2 years old and it left him slightly paralyzed on one side!. He never had another one (he's about 48 now)!. The best thing to do is go to a neurologist!. Blood work may not show something that is neurological!. You will probably need a brain scan or MRI!. Don't put it off!

Good luck and take care of yourself!Www@Answer-Health@Com
