When It’s Beyond Fainting Spells (Seizures)

This has always been my number one concern for anyone one who suffers from this Neurological Disorder. For the patients whom I had had eh pleasure of gaining information on this condition.  
   
It becomes a journal of triumph as well as journal of despair. Before, I delved into this diagnosed condition. I would like to extend my humbleness for the brain one who has not allowed this medical condition to deter their path in life, or for the one who had to adjust their lifestyle.  
 
Hello, every and thank you all for reading this medical journal, and all information should be discussed, or further researched to bring the scientific of the greater good.  
 
If you do not know or not familiar with what is classified as seizures, I will be more specific in details, from the information I’ve gather, as well as being in the medical profession and from people known in passing who was or who have been recently diagnosed with this neurological disorder.  
 
Most seizures are sudden, and they are uncontrolled, I call snaps of an electrical conduction firing in the brain, upon that occurring it cause changes in behavior, bodily movements, anxiety, feelings. Be advised seizures can be caused by various elements such as a head injury, or people who have had a stroke, or other unrelated illnesses. However, in many cases, the cause at times is still unknown.    
 
I say that because there is another factor that causes seizers that has no known etiology, and that is a Febrile Seizes, and that affect kids once a high fever the body has produced.  
 
A febrile seizure is a convulsion in a child that’s caused by a fever. The fever is often from an infection. The symptoms of febrile seizures include:  
 
There are several medical precursors that may be an inducer to precipitate the onset.  
 
There are various types of seizures and before I categorize them. I personally must add. I understand most and not all are into holistic or alternative measure when integrating those personal preferences or choices, when it pertains to our general welfare, and I am medical speaking. Henceforth, that was stated in the measure of my uttermost respect. However, I must elaborate on some opinions regarding taking Western Medication versus, using non-prescription means to heal, or utilizing an herb, tea, or root therapy to combat all the variation of seizure.  
 
I am an advocate in the field of science and my opinions will always remain unbiased in accordingly, but as a woman in general, if you have been clinically diagnosed as have any neurological disorder, please do not hesitate to speak with your physician of your neurologist about any other alternative.  
 
Holistic medication, to me, is a more homeopathic method to heal. It is a deterrence to use at many intervals when healing, this is the time, we must practice the creed of being healed.  
 
There are many types of seizures before, please take into consideration to know the difference.  
 
Generalized Seizures  
 
Generalized seizures affect both sides of the brain and can be further classified into the following types.  
 
The Absence Seizures, this to my observation I have known to affect kids, prior to being properly diagnosed caused by a sudden lapse of consciousness and are characterized by staring into space or brief body movements.  
 
A Myoclonic seizure will cause sudden body or limb jerks.  
Tonic Atonic seizures will cause as reported as sudden stiffness in the arms and body, which can cause falls and injuries, this seizure is very crucial, due in part, this can occur anywhere, and most people when I worked ER/Trauma would show up with critical head injuries, due to seizures, and it still saddens me to this day, it was due to an involuntary firing of those brain transmitters.  
Tonic-clonic seizures or grand mal seizures are the most detrimental seizure scan cause a person to cry out, you will most likely lose consciousness, and upon falling where you stand, and with these seizures and have muscle jerks or spasms.  
 
Focal Seizures  
 
Focal seizures are located in just one area of the brain and can be further classified into the following type  
 
The first one that comes to my mind is simple focal seizures, these are the seizures, which affect a small part of the brain and can cause at times some form of twitching or a change in sensation, such as a strange taste or smell.  
 
A Complex focal seizure, if you are having can render a person with epilepsy more confused and at best, bewildered. With these types of seizures, you will not be unable to respond beyond seconds up to a few minutes before they occur.  
 
Most who suffer from seizure must adopt to a difference lifestyle between a person who does not suffer from any type of seizure.  
For the ones who I can assume suffer from seizures, yes, there is some mental stigmatization that comes with this disability.  
 
I will have to say the primarily sense of not knowing when or where a seizure may occur does place street, and then to have to take prescribed medication that without, education will be heard to survival normal existence, in some states, no driving privileges or operating heavy machinery, or no employment. Secondary generalized seizures:  
 
These seizures begin in one part of the brain but then spread to both sides of the brain. In other words, the person first has a focal seizure, followed by a generalized seizure.  
 
I will counsel you not to allow this neurological disorder to ever be a deterrence or the way you live your life. There is medication on the market to control seizures, and if you follow up with your Neurologist, you should be able to thrive, even though there will be lifelong restrictions.  
 
Make sure you keep you stress to a zero level, always consume healthy food choices, stay hydrated it is good for the skin and make sure for heart healthy, your exercise in moderation. In addition, for those of you out there who suffer from Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), time is moving forward and the calling of bird tweeting in the calling of the wind, advising us Spring will be in the air.  
 
Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) is a type of depression that is related to changes in seasons. It is commonly seen as depression arising during the winter months, due to a disturbance in the circadian system of the body (online cite- 01-28-24).  
 
On the wings of love, may we greet upon our passion as our souls soaring to reach in spirit greater universal rewards.
