Silent Seizures?

Hey. So I would suggest speaking to a doctor and documenting any time that you think she's having one. They are known as absent seizures. Write down date, time, how long for and what she's doing immediately before and how she reacts after. Just out of curiosity what is she like after you think she's had a seizure? I would also recommend reading up about seizures as this can better prepare yourself and give you more insight xxx

We are actually going to the pediatrician tomorrow so I was going to bring it up. Honestly right after it happens it just seems like she snaps back into reality

That's good you can get more advice. I would definitely document. Sometimes with absent seizures the person is lethargic and a little out of it. I have advanced training with seizures through my work. I would recommend that if your child is absent for 5 minutes or starts to convulse phone an ambulance. If they do convulse make sure they won't hurt themselves but do not restricted or restrain. It's hard not to want to hold them but it's what's best. Definitely read up about seizures and speak to your doctor. I really hope you get the answer you need xxx

I had absent seizures as a child, I was on medication until I was about 16 and by then I had grown out of them so came off all medication. I also didn’t know when I was having them or if I had just had one. I would stop mid conversation for 8-12 seconds and then carry on my conversation from where I left off. I have had 2 grand mal seizures since, one at 17 and one at 19 but both these were caused by infections. I’m 33 now and haven’t had any form of seizure since so if your little girl is having them it doesn’t mean she will have them forever and it doesn’t mean they will progress into fits either. Try not to worry too much, the internet is a scary place so try not to read too much xx
