She has fallen twice this week for one shoulder and her repaired shoulder is failing. She's been having falls for several years now and some medications and anesthesia cause the severe non-seizure seizures which will cause her BP to appear sometimes over 200 bpm, but we're reassued that it's not a true reading. She will have the seizure- type things without med or anesthesia at home too. No one knows why.
Strange!The doctors probably have some kind of diagnosis to prescribe the med. Is her doctor a neurologist?
Another essay like poem. Reminds mea bit of Cacians poems.Quote:

Tailor, here are some links on non epileptic seizures. Maybe it would be good to get another opinion if that is possible. This blood pressure even if wrong doesn't look nice.

Going to pray for her quick recovery.
My wife finally saw a neurologist who stopped her from being discharged by a GP when she had a bad episode just prior to leaving (she is spending another night). Misspoke re: BP... it's her pulse that gives the erroneous reading, though her blood pressure does act erratically. It's been a rollercoaster. Thanx... Will check out the links :)
