> A fever with a seizure? I don't know much about seizures, but I'm thinking that it's not common. Kat- Yes, your husband must go to the doc. with you, he needs to know what to look for during your sleep, and you need sleep. I'm really curious about the anti-histamine that is banned from your armed forces. I have an idea, but not quite sure what it is. Do we have it here? Have you ever taken Klonipin? I'm sure that is a ditzy question, because you have been dealing with this for years. If it were me (I'm not a patient person at ALL), I would be calling my doc. tomorrow, PRONTO. I think he needs to know how you are feeling and how frieghtened you are. Let us know what you decide to do. -L
The name under which I get it is hydroxizin CL and my son was told that it was considered a banned substance...
the team at the hospital in Ottawa were unaware of it and I did not get it the whole time I was there... forgot to ask my own doctor when I saw him on my return if I can take it; have to call tomorrow... itchy eyes, itchy skin where it touches my clothing other than silks and cotton and it is getting a little cold up here, and constant sneezing... soon be into the intense reactions as I am allergic to half the known world and at least half the unknown world -- a redhead thing I think...
my son has the same allergies, food, environmental, and drug.... and is a redhead...
for both of us, this is the only thing that works and is apparently the strongest thing out there...
one of the oldies but goodies...
every doctor that comes along tries to change the med to new and milder but every allergist says if it ain't broke don't mess with it ... the newer ones don't work...
we take the shots and they don't help much so we go back to these little green footballs.
The hospital pharmacist wasn't aware of it either...
she had to look it up and still wasn't aware of it... it is really an oldie but then the doctor who prescribed it originally is 76 and still practising <g>When I first saw this neuro, he is the head of the epilepsy clinic for the region, he was surprised that Stephen had not come with me... Stephen does not do hospitals very well... as he needed info that only Stephen can give him, and insisted he come next visit which was to have been February, so he can find out what the nocturnal seizures are like and what the August and September tonic clonic seizures were like --
now he really wants to see him to find out what happened this time... and I am going to be all ears... I want to fill in the blanks...My son called this morning and says it was the same when he talked to his dad. Each time he would get a little more information... and was careful not to say anything about his frustrations or he might not get any more information... he is a senior warrant officer and used to demanding responses and getting them right then and there from his men, it was hard to wait for bits and pieces <g>
It was from him I learned about the risk of brain damage from the high fever that would not break...
Stephen didn't mention that to him until late Tuesday and has yet to mention it to me...
he *really* operates on need to know <g> and he has always been a civilian LOLWhen I was being released the nurse told me one of the team was still there and if I had any questions she would make sure he came back to answer them... I had none...
I told her I would think of dozens when I got home...Now I have hundreds...
Ain't it always the way...but I am slowly finding my way back to me...
since this thing could happen again any time of day awake or asleep no point being afraid to go to sleep...
and can't be afraid to be awake...
I have missed too much of my life already...and I was thinking of you people while I was in there... wanted my laptop but there is no way to use it there... and one of the rules is no using the computer while they have you in their clutches...
they have rules for everything sigh...
