Epilepsy symptoms

By -
Epilepsy is a neurological condition.
The main symptom of epilepsy is repeated seizures. If one or more of the following symptoms are present, the individual should see a doctor, especially if they recur:
  • a convulsion with no temperature (no fever)
  • short spells of blackout, or confused memory
  • intermittent fainting spells, during which bowel or bladder control is lost, which is frequently followed by extreme tiredness
  • for a short period, the person is unresponsive to instructions or questions and becomes stiff
  • the person suddenly falls for no clear reason
  • sudden bouts of blinking and chewing without apparent stimuli and apparent reason
  • for a short time the person seems dazed and unable to communicate
  • the person becomes fearful for no apparent reason; they may even panic or become angry
  • peculiar changes in senses, such as smell, touch, and sound
  • the arms, legs, or body jerk, in babies these will appear as a cluster of rapid jerking movements

The following conditions need to be eliminated. They may present similar symptoms and are sometimes misdiagnosed as epilepsy:
  • high fever with epilepsy-like symptoms
  • fainting
  • narcolepsy, or recurring episodes of sleep during the day
  • cataplexy, or periods of extreme muscle weakness
  • sleep disorders
  • nightmares
  • panic attacks
  • fugue states, a rare psychiatric disorder
  • psychogenic seizures

There is mounting evidence that herpes leads to Alzheimers Disease

More than 30 million people worldwide suffer from Alzheimer’s disease – the most common form of dementia. Unfortunately, there is no cure, only drugs to ease the symptoms. However, my own research suggests a way to treat the disease. I have found the strongest evidence yet that the herpes virus is a cause of Alzheimer’s, suggesting that effective and safe antiviral drugs might be able to treat the disease. We might even be able to vaccinate our children against it. The virus implicated in Alzheimer’s disease , herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV1), is better known for causing cold sores. It infects most people in infancy and then remains dormant in the peripheral nervous system (the part of the nervous system that isn’t the brain and the spinal cord). Occasionally, if a person is stressed, the virus becomes activated and, in some people, it causes cold sores. The virus can become active in the brain, perhaps repeatedly, and this probably causes cumulative damage. The likel

# Alzheimer’s Disease is a progressive disease that destroys memory and other important mental functions. # Brain cell connections and the cells themselves degenerate and die, eventually destroying memory and other important # mental functions. Memory loss and confusion are the main symptoms. No cure exists, but #medication and management strategies may temporarily improve symptoms. Although there’s no # cure , there are things you can do to help prevent, delay, or slow down Alzheimer’s disease and # dementia .
