There was a time that I had seizures after the dentist.  We found that
Epinephrine was causing them.  The is mixed with the Novicain, but
they also have pure Novocain.

Hi.  I am 24.  I have had a million problems for the past 10 months.  I was
just diagnosed with epilepsy in october of this year.  i never had seizures
before in my entire life.  I"m incredibly overactive.  it's just adult onset
partial epilepsy.  I have complex partial and simple partial both with and
without secondary generalization.  And they found this out because I finally
had a 24 hour ambulatory EEG done.  This is my 3rd neurologist who decided to
do this because I had a friend who always helps me write out a statement of
what happens before, during, after.  And I did the same.  Anyway, I was
scared it wouldn't show anything because I'm a dance major, dancing all day
and I have crazy muscle spasms mostly in my R side.  And I was scared I would
be told I was crazy.  

The past year, with my other 2 neurologists, I was actually told I was making
it up, it was all in my head.  and that bothered me.  my 2nd neuro actually
could see all my muscles constantly contracting and releasing.  it was bad
during last semester.  i don't know why.  almost constant.  but he had done a
simple EEG, those 40 min. ones about a month prior to this constant episode
and the results were negative.  so that is why "i was making it up."  The
first neuro also did an EEG for the migraines I suddenly had every single day
that started Jan 1 of last year.  put me on an antiseizure med.  tha'ts a
long story and I got off cuz I had a really bad reaction to it.  then back on
w/the second neuro, ect.  took myself off when i started spasming all the
time cuz it scared me to death.  I was sent to the ER 4 times last semester
in school.  and blood tests were normal, a million of the same CT scans were
normal.  I had an MRI of my brain w/and w/o the injection last March and it
was all normal.  

So when I started collapsing after my whole body tensed really hard this
semester several times, it started affecting school and home, etc.  My EEG
recorded 5 seizures in that 24 hours.  And one was in my sleep.  I was
surprised.  I thought it would show nothing.  I was especially surprised
about the ones in my sleep but it all made sense.  some days I was so
exhausted I thought I would collapse in the mornings when I tried to go to
classes.  after my bigger seizures, I have to sleep a lot to feel normal
again.  I"m finding this semester though everything is getting worse probably
because I dance every single day and don't ahve much time to recover.  anyway,
I"m on 2 antiseizure meds right now.  I'm still getting adjusted and whatnot.
they make me nauseous, dizzy, fatigued, tired, etc.  I sleep alot these days.
but once everything settles down and i get the right stuff, i think i will be
fine.  

I do want to tell you, don't let dr's make you think things other than what
you feel.  if you know you don't feel right and have had a lot of trouble,
don't take no for an answer.  they have not been around your episodes.  they
have not seen them and seen what you go through. neither has any ER dr.s  I
personally think ER docs are worthless especially in the area I am in.  But,
keep pushing for a diagnosis.  good luck on your video eeg.  good luck
w/everything.  you may not find out why you suddenly have seizures at your
age.  I doubt I will.  it just happened for no reason whatsoever.  the only
thing I know is that I had migraines daily and then started having seizures.
and I used to never even get headaches at all until about 4 years ago.  it
all started with vertigo really bad.  it could have just been "developing"
this entire time.  who knows.  I am the only one in my family who has
epilepsy.  it's weird.  but at least it was found.  and now it can get taken
care of.  good luck to you.
