i think my daughter is having seizures / myLot

I'm not sure but I think my daughter is having absence seizures. She went to the neurologist and he said she wasn't having seizures, but I swear by what I saw were seizures. Her speech slurs, her eyes close and it's like she nods off. Her hubby came and got me to sit out there and watch her. She couldn't even take her blood pressure with the wrist cuff because she nods off. They have gone to bed now and I know her hubby will stay awake awhile to watch her. He is like a mother hen by how he cares for her.

The neurologist will put her on a 48 hour EEG on the next visit. My 30 minute test showed normal brain waves, but the 48 hour test showed I had seizures.

@OreoBrownie i'm glad to hear they're gonna do such, hon. those short tests, e'en those that're 4-8 hours rarely show what's truly goin''n. i hope that she's able to wait 'til her next visit without harmin' herself 'n y'all get answers 'n a treatment plan soon. big hugs!

When she does that, record a lil bit of her. It helps. My friend did that and it helped the doctor

That is a great idea. I would have never thought if that.

that is scary perhaps she should change doctors get a second opinion as you have nurses training and an eye for those things best to see another doctor

He's a good doctor. They can ask for the 48 hour test to be done since the 30 minute one showed nothing on me.
