Hi, i'm just trying to find out some
answers about my 10 year old daughter to
see if she has some type of epilepsy. If
anyone has ever heard of any of these
symptoms with epilepsy please let me know.
All of a sudden her vision will get
blurry, then she will feel dizzy. She
closes her eyes and she feels like she is
falling in a black tunnell. She is alert
the whole time because i'm talking to her
and holding her. She is constantley
screaming not to let her fall. I tell her
that I have her and she is not going any
where. This only last for maybe 2-5
minutes. After it is over she is fine.
She does not do this everyday. If any one
has any input I would greatly appreciate
any information. I know it has to be very
scary for her. Her eyes do not roll back
in her head. She does not shake, nor is
her back arched. She just hold onto me
until it is over.

As far as I can understand, you are trying
to make your own diagnosis.
I suggest you leave this to the
specialists.
As for the symptoms, they are described by
your daughter who has a different
perception and use of words than from an
adult.
I can translate her words and find them
similar with the symptoms of a simple
partial epilepsy but I maybe far off the
mark.
A neuro is trained to and probably has
experience with understanding children
with epilepsy.
