Hello,
it is not clear that whether you were taking medicine when the child was in utero, if the baby is born and is healthy then there is no problem. All antiepileptic drugs have a small chance of in utero damage but epilepsy itself can cause damage to the foetus so generally a low dose to control seizures is used during pregnancy.

The policy is to try to control with the maximum dose of one medicine, if seizures are still recurring than second medicine. Three medicines are rarely if ever indicated. You have not mentioned the onset and no of seizures you had and when was the last seizure. Your medication will need to be modified accordingly. Taking 3 medicines not a good idea. The time when medication wi...more

Dear lybrate-user,
1. You are suffering from epilepsy which means two or more unprovoked seizures. At times seizures recur after a gap of 1-2 years and stopping medication. The seizures in your case are not due to a tumour and and it is not likely that you will have a tumour now after the onset 6 years back. Please be confident about not having atumour and take the medicines prescribed regularly.

Hello lybrate-user,
the presence of seizures is no contraindication for surgery. You can undergo any surgery with ga. But yes first your surgeon and anesthesiologist should knno your problem and they will approach the problem correctly, you should definitely continue taking your medicine and inform the doctors.

My brother of 13 yr. He was born in 7th month he used to get seizures since he was small but for 7 years he didn't even get a seizure some weeks before he was sitting and suddenly he wasn't able to swallow anything and had lost coordination of body he was not able to move his hands and leg and also he was deviating his tongue towards the upper left side of his teeth. He had made his jaw towards the left side and was drooling and he closed his left wrist and was having a stutter speech this lasted for 2 3 mins. After that day in the morning as after half hour or one hour he wakes up he makes his jaw towards the left and makes grinding noise of his teeth and also he has stuttering speech in the morning. This happens for 3 4 hrs after waking up then he becomes normal but his jaw slightly remains towards the left side not like morning but yes it goes to the left side slightly and also after that episode he always closes his left hand's wrist in the morning for 3 to 4 hr. Please suggest what to do.

I am sorry to hear about your concern but will be happy to assist you.
The type of seizure depends on which part and how much of the brain is affected. The two main categories of epileptic seizures that exist are partial and generalized. Multiple types of seizures are in each category.
Let's connect over a call so that we can discuss your concern in details and make a suitable treatment plan for you.

Hello, the temporal lobe disease affects the memory severely, but it appears that your father has had most likely herpes simplex encephalitis or auto immune encephalitis. It nis very early to predict how much memory loss he will finally have. The best approach will be to make sure that he comes out of the illness without much damage and later rehab can be started. Memory will be improving on its own once he is back in his familiar surroundings.
