Please describe symtoms of a seizure.

[hopeful]

I can't seem to find my notes about seizures. I know that they are not always obvious and that they are not all detected, even durring an eeg. I don't believe my son has had any, but I would like to update my notes on this. Wasn't there a web site, or someone on the old website that described what to look for? if anything?
Thanks.

THANKS SO MUCH. That is exactly what I was looking for. I saved all the info in it's own file so now I can have it for reference.

I'm glad to say that none of the symtoms have shown up.

I was told by DD's ped neurologist the everyone has a seizure at some point in thier lifetime. Most occur at night and are never detected. They are harmless, but beleive me, if he has one when you are around, you will know it.
