You DO NOT have Epilepsy 

What if you feel sound echo from ears before you faint.

Thank you Zakhar 😊... Glad you like it

Glad it was helpful!

You rock!... Thank you

You're so welcome!

Can't tell without evaluating the patient in my clinic. Please review the video on nocturnal epilepsy

The same thing happend to one of my friends in our hotel room when we were at a curling meeting he had a seizure in the middle of the night and but his tongue really bad the doctors here said it was fairly common in younger people to have one seizure in there life time this happend about a year and a half ago hes been well ever since and hasn't had a seizure prayers to you my friend

@@jaronbeaulac1152 sad.. hope he is doing well now..your life after a seizure is not the same.. 😢

@@joelmenezes1797 never but he is good and healthy now he hasn't had another one since but my cousin is the same age as me we are both 19 and the beginning of my last you in high school he had a seizure and ever since hes been having them and every doctor he has been to cant figure out why it happens In the last 2 weeks he has had 4 seizures sometimes he will have them twice a day.

@@jaronbeaulac1152 It may be hereditary... Consult a neurologist and get a CT scan and MRI done and a EEG test .. it may help find out the cause of the seizures.. 🙂✌🏻

@@joelmenezes1797 he had actually mentioned something about the doctor talking about doing some kind of a brain surgery

It's hard to give case based answers. Please discuss with your neurologist as they will know the case in depth to answer the question

I was diagnosed with left temporal lobe epilepsy with secondary generalization, although we are starting to suspect maybe seizures are coming from the insula. When I was diagnosed I also began to have psychogenic nonepileptic events. I can always differentiate now based on whether I can talk and how long they last. It's worth a conversation with your neurologist.

Sure thing. No specific test in the blood to prove epilepsy

@@DrOmarDanoun thank you so much for your response. Is it possible to have different types of epileptic seizures? Someone told me usually it is only one type an epileptic person can have. I just think I heard somewhere that one person can have different types of epileptic seizures and it is not just one. And therefore you can't just rule out that it is not epilepsy if it is not the same way every time.

No epilepsy is not diagnosed with a blood test.

@@weeziii8193there are lots of types of epileptic seizure and a lot of ppl with epilepsy have multiple types! to be fair there are lots of types of non- epileptic seizures too, not just the example he mentioned

@@centaurora913 thanks for your answer. I got tested and I do have Epilepsy. Medicated and have gotten my seizures under control thankfully! But by the way, just curious. Does EEG show brain abnormalities with people who have non epileptic seizures?

Yes best to see a neurologist for evaluation and testing

No generalized spike and wave only happens in epilepsy

Seizures are a rare side effect... Discuss with your neurologist

I can't provide medical advice online. I suggest they film the event on video when it happens and discuss with your neurologist

Please discuss with your neurologist. I can't provide medical advice online

Thank you for the detailed explanation. I agree with you it is frustrating to just get a clear answer. I will be happy to see him and evaluate all the current testing and give you an answer based on the full assessment. I don't want to make assumptions that are not based on evidence and full review. Feel free to give my office a call and get your appointment and I will see you there. If you search on Google you will find it at Henry Ford Hospital

@@DrOmarDanoun - Yes! Thank you. I have your office phone number in my book marks! The end of this month we have an appointment with his current neurologist to go over his most recent MRI. If I can get my "biggest dream" for him out of all of this; it would be that surgery can stop his seizures and we would no longer have to worry about medication! Either by whether or not it works, or that the pharmacy can get a hold of it!

Have you got any more answers ? This is the exact same scenario as us x

@@kingrex593 - I took my son to Dr. Danoun at Henry Ford in Detroit between December 2022 and April 2023. They did a MEG scan, neuro-psyc testing in evaluation for surgery. He'd had a T-3 MRI done at another facility in November of 2022 so the MRI was recent enough that they could use those images. Plus I had about 19 years of discharge paperwork and school evaluations; I'd brought with us. The team did identify his seizures. (Eyelid myoclonus) And he was diagnosed with something called "Jeavon's syndrome". Jeavon's syndrome is usually believed to be genetic; but they've yet to identify a genetic link in my son. The clinical presentation of the diagnosis does fit though. My son also has a cluster of malformed blood vessels in the left temporal lobe of the brain which they did conclude is involved in his seizures. Now whether or not that is a "temporal lobe origin point" or just part of the entire presentation; I don't think anyone is 100% sure of. If he does have a focal epilepsy; they can't tell from the current and most recent EEGs. And the MEG scan didn't collect enough data to know for sure if the origin point was temporal lobe or deeper in the brain. But what little activity the MEG did pick up was left temporal lobe and did not appear to be a generalized discharge. Unfortunately, they only caught one discharge; which isn't enough data to plot. They need 5 or more. Now, he was on medication for the MEG scan; but they wouldn't have been able to do the language mapping if he wasn't on meds for the scan; so - six of one and half a dozen of the other. They would have gotten more data off of meds; but the other testing they needed to do; they wouldn't have been able to off meds. The MEG scan did show that he has language on both sides of the brain. Which positively identifies some form of neurological dysfunction in the left temporal lobe. Again though, if that represents an origin point of a focal epilepsy; no one is sure, because clearly identifiable focal discharges are not currently showing up on the EEG. (Although they had in the past. the very first LTM EEG identified a clear focal discharge in the left temporal lobe.) The very first diagnosis was suspected complex partial seizures. But the next LTM EEG had generalized discharges and the focal discharges were not identifiable from that point on. Also the nero-psych eval showed cognitive deficits coming from the left side. These deficits do affect his short term memory as well as language processing. Multiple nero-psych evals have showed that. (He's had about 4 of them over his life time now.) So does he have more than one form of epilepsy? That's possible. Now because the form of epilepsy that best fits the clinical seizure presentation is a generalized epilepsy; and he's not having tonic clonic seizures. Plus where the location of the malformation is; (smack dab in the middle of his language / memory center) his epilepsy was deemed inoperable; though it likely is still classified as refractory epilepsy. He went through a med increase; so until we do another EEG; we don't know what will show up on the EEG. Currently, most short term EEG's are picking up slowing in the left temporal lobe and some sporadic generalized discharges. They did note that Vimpat was helpful. It is controlling most of the discharges. They did note that on the LTM EEG in Detroit. When they took him off the Vimpat the epileptiform discharges got much more pronounced and he got far less functional (and more agitated). So prior to discharge they did increase the Vimpat dosage. They wanted to try a different med; but they had problems with the insurance company and timing of authorization. It would take them 72 hours once they got the justification from the doctor for them to decide whether or not they were going to give him the med; and at that point, the patient did not want to stay in the hospital another 3 to 4 days. But that med is still on the "back burner" as an option. It would just require a little more planning if in the future they wanted to do a strait out med swap. (They'd have to put in the request for the authorization upon admission.) And it is now known that the Depekote was likely contributing to the tremor problem in some way. He went off the Depekote in December of 2022 because after having been on it for 16 years; he was found to have severe osteoporosis of the hips. (Got someone on Depekote; make sure they do DXA scans! His prior neurologist didn't do them until I told him to do them.) Endocrinology says they will repeat the DXA scan in two years. It will take at least that long to get bone density back; but they suspect it will come back at least to some degree on account of his age. The tremors though did improve notably; but he does still have them. So thus we know they have something to do with his neurology. He is more functional in the increased vimpat and is sleeping better. (He's not sleeping as much and is more "with it" and interactive when he is awake.) So yes! If you have (or can get) insurance that will cover out of state care (Unless your in MI?) And you want a thorough evaluation; go to Detroit. You will get a thorough evaluation from Dr. Danoun! So if the patient has Medicare (Not Medicaid - no state will take another state's Medicaid)! Make sure they are on "Classic Medicare" (or switch when your open enrollment starts) and get a Medi-gap plan if you can. That's what we did; although my son also has VA insurance from me. He gets state Medicaid too from our home state; but we're not in MI. In state, Medicaid will pick up what Medicare doesn't cover; but they won't do that for care that's out of state. (Thus you will need a secondary insurance to Medicare if that's the insurance the patient has.) Now we had to wait for my son's two years on SSDI to qualify for Medicare. But he collects SSDI on his dad's record because his dad is deceased. So yes, dealing with insurance is a mess. But if you can get to Detroit; the team up there will take the time to do the testing to find what ever they can. It may not be wholly conclusive; but they will do their due diligence. I will pray that you guys find an answer. I know - it's frustrating!

Is this genetic or something else

You can go back and discuss this issue with your neurologist... Or call or send them a message.. Correct.. Keppra can worsen anxiety and depression

About 50 percent of epilepsy is of unknown cause. This should not affect the treatment though

I can't provide medical advice.. If you are not convinced sure go ahead and ask a pediatric neurologist

I have the same thing. Get sick, then fever, then seizures. do you live in cold weather?

My son also has the same issue. 39 degrees is the temperature and the Dr said he's epileptic... Did you find any help fro your doctor?

So what was your diagnosis and how are you now .this happems with my child

They diagnosed me with non epileptic attack disorder. I've since been diagnosed with autism and suspected adhd (waiting to be assessed) not had any treatment though. It's all been self management stuff. I think NEAD is a form of FND so I found some resources through fnd action and fnd hope

I'm in the UK so assessment and treatment takes ages on the NHS. Hopefully it would be faster for kids though

There are rare cases of Levetiracetam causing low sperm count

How are you now ?

Glad you enjoyed it!

yes, you can

@@centaurora913 hmm. All of my EEGS have been normal, even right after a seizure. I only started having seizures in my early twenties when I was going through severe OCD. I was stressed to the point of exhaustion. I’ve probably had more than ten seizures but less than twenty in my life; however, I had auras as a child, and I never knew what they were. They went away for years before returning when I was stressed due to OCD. Now that I’ve been recovering from OCD, and can manage my stress, I haven’t had an aura or seizure in almost 3 years. However, I’m still on Aptiom once a day, and I hate the medication side effects. I tried to wean off of my dose last year, and started having bad withdrawals. I didn’t have seizures, but I could feel one coming on due to the withdrawals. I want to try and wean off again, but I’m not sure if it’s a good idea. I’m not convinced I need the medication, but I’m also not sure due to the fact I had auras as a young child. My neurologist didn’t diagnose me as epileptic but she did diagnose a “seizure disorder.” She’s hesitant to call it epilepsy due to the EEGS being normal.

Yes all the videos on the channel are about epilepsy and seizures for your information

I have the same thing. It only happens when I’m asleep and I bite my tongue. I did not have an event when they did the video EEG, but the neurologist said it was probably Epilepsy. They only saw “slow waves”. They put me on medication that didn’t stop the seizures. I think they are non-epileptic seizures but the doctor won’t come out and say it. They just want me to take more and more drugs. Frustrating.

Take a quick shower before bed and pray to God Almighty, O my Creator please protect me from all evils and all demons, purify my heart and my soul and bless me with Your Infinite Mercy, Guide me to the Truth and protect me from misguided people, You are Alone in Your Divinity and Might, You have no partners/offsprings, You Alone I worship and You are My Only Real Helper. Amen NB. Jesus is Not God or Son of God and Virgin Mary is not Mother of God, so please don’t pray to them because they are mere humans and you will be wasting your time.

The problem is if you don't have an event while having an EEG you can come back with a negative EEG. Also keep in mind at least 50% of people they have no idea why. Meaning your MRI can be clear as a bell but you still have seizures even though everything structurally looks ok. That's the thing that irks me. It's like a little phantom just haunting our brains.

Please review the video on normal EEG and MRI

@@DrOmarDanoun Thanks Dr for these informative videos🙏

You can switch medications! I've been having them for over a year and am trying yet another combination of drugs. The short version is, I've tried three main pills, only take 2, and have been trying different combinations. My current two do NOT have side effects like others, just maybe sleepy sometimes. The seizures haven't quite stopped but I'm feeling close. I recently began a keto diet as well. I decided it is okay to be on meds forever but the cure can't be worse than seizures! There are different drugs with different chemicals. Pester your doctor to try another.

I have both. Although it's been a long time since I had a PNES.

Yes I made a whole series you can check it out

لا أستطيع الحكم على حالتك او إعطاء استشارات طبية فردية لاني لم اعاين المريض مباشرة... ولكن نعم هناك الكثير من الناس تعافوا من التشنجات بعد العملية ولكن ما يقدر توقف التشنجات والتأثير على الذاكرة والكلام هو تتطابق الفحوصات على موقع التشنجات... هذا نقاش مطول مع الطاقم الطبي المشرف على حالتك
