In the past 3 weeks my sis has had 2 seizures. We have been to ER both times. Bloodwork is normal, CT is normal. These were tonic-coloic seizures. Now a week after the 2nd she is feeling "little shocks" when she tries to think/remember or speak. She is "thick tongued" and has a difficult time saying what she is thinking. The ER said it was an isolated incident and has not followed up with getting her into the neuro clinic. Her family MD doesn't seem to be concerned at all but is getting her a referral. She has been taking levothyroxine for about 6 months and celexa for about 2-3 months. Her MD has taken her off elavil and toradol. She was taking these to help with a shoulder dislocation she had repaired 1.5 yr ago but reinjured during this last seizure. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what could be going on? I am getting really worried and noone else seems overly concerned. I know we need to see Neuro so don't tell me that--we are working on it. Thanks

a person can have a seizure from lots of things such as malnutrition, drug interactions, damaged nerve system in the brain, damage to the brain, tumors, diabetes, blood circulation issues, and other stuff. Keep looking it takes time and I'm sure every thing will be okay. Seizures are pretty common and I'm sure the doctors are doing all they can right now. Patience and trust in God-try at least.

A question you said they did a CT. Did they do it just on her head. My brother in law had a couple seizures back in August and they checked his heart too, they said some seizures can be brought on by a irregularity in the heart. I hope this can help a little.
