Absolutely. Great idea. My brother has a severe seizure disorder and he typically quits breathing every seizure. He has been intubated, put on a ventilator and life flighted. He didn't have his first seizure until he was in his 30's. One time he fell face first through a glass table and had a huge cut on his forehead. My cousin was holding a towel on his forehead to control the bleeding and I was doing CPR (all while he was violently convulsing). Witnessing a seizure is terrifying (and I'm a registered nurse).

Epilepsy Mom here. Just in case it is a seizure (and it looks like one): When this happens, turn her on her left side, that way she doesn't have a chance of choking in case she throws up.Just keep her comfortable until it passes. Film it!! The are three phases of a seizure: Beginning (I feel weird, auras maybe), Middle ( called Ictal, seizing), post Ictal (up to 30 minutes, in and out of consciousness, it's like the brain is rebooting). Hope you can get into a Neurologist ASAP. The best type of EEG for detecting seizures is where they deprive her of sleep, blow on a pinwheel, use strobe lights, etc. They are trying to trigger epileptic brain activity. Praying for y'all. 🙏.

Also rolling her to the left can help prevent her tongue from rolling up in the back of the throat and blocking her airway. As well as something for her to bite on, (popsicle stick) think they have something called a bite guard.that will protect her teeth when she is going through this (holds the teeth slightly apart). Those two things are equally important.

Carlin, everything you’re feeling emotionally is completely normal. Your positive attitude is amazing and is so helpful. I was a nurse practitioner in neurology for 35 years and I just want to reassure you that often times the process of obtaining a diagnosis is long and frustrating.. But you will get this figured out!!! You’ve had all the appropriate tests so far and praise God that nothing obvious has shown up. I admire your family support so much and Evan is so mature and wise (and calm which helps so much!).. I have seen what a difference it is for someone with no support. You are blessed! It sounds as if the doctors have instructed you as to when you would need to take a trip to the ED.. I just want to add that if any episode seems particularly long compared to previous ones you need to call for an ambulance. Know that you and your family are in my prayers and again, although this seems long and frustrating, something will come to light!!! Take good care.

After watching your video, the calmness and care you're getting from your husband, friends and family is truly amazing. I know what you're going through is scary as I have the same episodes as you. The collapsing aka drop attacks, fatigue, dissociative seizures, balance & tingling in my limbs & memory issues (forgetting what I want to say while having a conversation), dizziness and typically happens when I am at rest or just standing still, getting out of bed is another thing that will bring on my seizures. Finally, I got the diagnoses as FND aka Functional Neurological disorder. MRIs are normal as are my EEGs. Took 4 years to get a final diagnosis and been living with it for about 7 years now...not sure if this is what you have, but it is very similar to my symptoms! Prays & Huggs

And as a mother I was so scared because my 3 month old had a febrile seizure and it wouldn't stop and he was 106° and the ambulance came and I never felt so defeated because they just said he will be ok and keep giving him Tylenol which I had been doing for 2 weeks at that point and he wouldn't break the fever no matter what I did. The ER wouldn't do anything, the pediatrician, nothing. So I know what he means about watching you shake and jerk and it being scary outside looking in. Because they love and care for you and don't want to see you that way and just want to help. I'm praying hard for you! And I'm praying for answers, healing, and peace and comfort.

This definitely looks like seizures. I was diagnosed with epilepsy last August (at age 53) out of the blue. The neurologist had to do a 72 hour ambulatory EEG to detect the abnormal brain waves that were causing my seizures because nothing showed up during the short one in the hospital. I am thankful to the Lord and my doctors that they have been able to get me on a medication that has prevented any more seizures since December. Maybe a longer EEG is in order for you too.

The heart monitor is the most important thing right now. I really think a Tilt table test is needed so they can monitor everything as she is being tilted. This test will show whether it's POTS and/or vasovagal syncope. It's not all that uncommon for people with vasovagal syncope to have myoclonic jerks during episodes. It's common for this to be confused as seizures.

I’ve had all of these! I have POTS and was having these symptoms. I’ve had all the tests she had and more. There are beta blockers that cross the blood brain barriers and others that don’t. When I switched my beta blocker all of my symptoms went away. Looking at your blood pressure when it drops and your heart rate is SO important! Good job for Evans family for checking your vitals while you were having those symptoms!

I too have POTS- it all started after a very complicated twin pregnancy. I would ask for a tilt table study and a treadmill test-stress test. My blood pressure plummets when I change positions. I noticed your heart rate was very high at one point. I take a morning small dose of a beta blocker. My friend who also has been in and out of hospitals take a vaso constrictor. It helps keep her blood pressure up. I'm praying your doctors will find answers for you and that you will be on the road to recovery or at least the road to managing what is happening to you. I will say this...I am doing so well. It took a lot of time to get the diagnosis but I manage well. God has this!

My daughter had very similar episodes, our pediatrician connected us to functional neurologist who diagnosed her with dysautonomia at first. Blood work revealed Lyme disease. I would highly recommend seeking alternative medicine. Functional / chiropractic neurologist, muscle testing mostly done by chiropractors or alternative practitioners. Doctor had no clue, ER’s said it’s neurological and said she’ll need meds. She’s never taken any meds and has been episode free for 1.5 years, no neurological symptoms. I deeply feel for you guys.

I’ve had epilepsy since childhood and watching this video is almost like a mirror image of my initial testing/diagnosis period. To this day I’ve never had a seizure during a test so I can understand how disheartening the lack of answers can be. I understand your frustrations and how life altering these seizures can be but I promise you it will get better. Maybe not today, next week or even next month but I know, in time it will get easier for you. Finally, The feeling you get before a seizure is known as an aura and when it occurs you’ll slowly learn how to read it and use it as a way to get yourself into a safe place, or in my case simply sit down on the floor, before anything happens.

Postpartum is what made things bad and for months I got worse because I continued to push myself. I was told by a specialist if I had just taken it slow and tried to rest I would have never gotten as bad as I did. I won’t scare you but I will tell you it was REALLY bad for 5 years for me.

I feel you when you said “I feel like God is saying just trust me, I’ve got this!” I said the same thing after a year and a half. I felt God had me go through this painful journey to stop me. I got sick the month before we went on Covid lockdown. I missed the whole summer of work because my body was in no shape and my losing feeling was unpredictable. Long story short, because I could no longer pursue being a flight medic I was led to lead high school girls at my church. Almost a year later I felt like physically God touch me on the last night of church camp. I heard “this is what it was all for Destini, this is where I want you.” It broke me down to my knees the overwhelming feeling of hearing that for the first time. I don’t think I’ve ever cried that hard, but it was relief of finally getting a diagnosis and confirmation I wasn’t crazy. Relief from finally having 6 months of prayers answered. Finally feeling like I knew what was happening with my life again…just really stopped me in my tracks and put me where He wanted me!

Hi guys. I'm Stacey from Thunder Bay, Ontario, Canada. I stumbled across this video scrolling through KZbin to keep my mind occupied. This afternoon at around 2:30 pm i had to put down my Black Lab Kaia. Her health had come to a crisis point. I became engrossed in this video and just had to send you a message. You both are lovely people and it warmed my heart how loving , supportive and strong Evan was. Carlin, you broke my heart when you cried out "what's wrong with me?" I myself have been there from the age of 14 to 28 before i was finally diagnosed with severe spinal damage. It's the unknown that is the most frightening and isolating. I'm 50 now and am managing my disease and all it's side effects. My advice to you Carlin, is to continue to try to be strong, and as difficult as it may seem, try to see one thing every day that is a blessing. Those dimples in your hubbies smile. That absolute adoring and trusting gaze from your babies. Seeing a beautiful bird outside. And so much more. I found just the task of paying attention for these moments, then realizing how many beautiful moments you encounter in each day, and the difficult task of just trying to choose one for that day can help you refocus your mind away from the fear of what's happening with these seizure like episodes. This daily routine will become a comfort. I even began keeping a journal to help sort out my thoughts. I will keep you in my thoughts and pray for you every night whenever i manage to settle down in bed. Keep smiling that gorgeous smile. You are a truly beautiful woman inside and out. Sorry for the long post. I'm a writer and suffer badly from verbal diarrhea. I'm well known for this little problem. I could keep you on the phone for hours!! Now im going to check out your other posts. ;) I might post on other videos and will try my best to keep the word count down!

They did a stand up / sit down test on him with a heart monitor on. When he stood up it would take a bit for his blood flow to catch up to the pace he was standing up. With that, he would pass out. He was diagnosed with POTS. Have them do a stand up/ sit down test with a heart monitor on. Oh.. also… his started out of the blue at 17 years old. His legs would also turn purple-ish. I hope you find answers. Prayers.

My sister in law saw who is a nurse and the CEO of 2 hospitals told my husband it sounded like I had the symptoms of MS. I was told I didn’t have MS by a neurologist. I was told it could be psychogenic non epileptic seizures because nothing showed up on any tests, but heart rate increase does not happen with psychogenic seizures.I just had a 24 hour EEG with video done and I am waiting for the results from my doctor.

They called mine absent seizures and some was seizures. I ended up getting a pacemaker this past April. My blood pressure would also drop to dangerous low levels. But every thing else my EKG, MRI, EEG all did just like yours would come back normal. I felt just like you, I like was going crazy. I never could feel any of mine coming on. I have fell in the shower and broke my ribs. I can't tell you how easy it is to get hurt. I don't want to scare you but I have felt like I have lived like this alone in this world. No one has had answers for me until this year when I passed out and didn't come back for 30 minutes and they put the pacemaker in for Bradycardia this April. Another odd thing we have in common is I too had just had a child when mine all started. But I had not put much thought into that ever. But my daughter was about 3 months old when I had my very 1st episode. I was washing dishes and fell straight backwards. I will pray for you and your family and I pray you don't have as long of a road to walk as I have had too.

He is a patient at Mayo Clinic in florida and UF Health. He also has seizures, encephalopathy, paraneoplastic syndrome and passes out. There are a myriad of other symptoms as well but it took numerous hospitals and years to diagnose because its super rare. Mayo clinic and UF health have been phenomenal. My husband has many episodes that are incredibly painful and the ER has never been able to help him because of the severity of his case and how rare his disease is. Its only the specialists who have been able to assist. His geneticist, neurologist and endocrinologist have played an integral part in his care.

I was diagnosed with MS and, like you i am very type a...i want to be in control of what is happening in my life. And with ms i can wake up and have a body part not work...not quite like you with seizures but not knowing when to expect something to happen. I joke that God knows i am hard headed and had to do something big to get me to let him have control and to have the faith i profess to have...to make me REALLY walk the walk i profess. So the hardest lesson for me to learn is that God IS in control...either you give him that control willingly or he will take it. The second hardest is that no matter how much you WANT to have energy for all the things you used to do, the reality is that you dont. And if you push your body past your limits it will only cause more harm to you. Also, the most frustrating thing is not knowing what you are dealing with and feeling like you will never get an answer. At least when you get a diagnosis you know what you are fighting and can get a plan of attack. I saw posts about POTS and i actually have a friend who has that and it does sound very similar. You are in my prayers.

Hi, your video randomly showed up. And to be honestly I’ve never heard of you guys. Watching this video brought me to tears. Because this is so similar to what my mom is going through!!! And my mom and I have been going through circles for over 7 years and the last 18 months have been absolutely hell. We live in canada and we are currently waiting for a week long observation EEG. Whenever they have availability. We have done pretty much every test under the sun. Tried different medication.( right now what she is taking is giving her a baseline at least but it’s not always working) The shanking, pain, buzzing, even the random skin irritation. My mom kinda passes out but is also fully conscious during her episodes. There are days that she’s completely normal and days, weeks, months where’s she’s bad. All her test always come back normal. It’s not seizures. Doctors can’t figure out. Also sadly our doctors keep saying it’s “anxiety” or PTSD that is causing stress on her body. This is not that!! And it’s so damn frustrating when all they can do is just suggest that to her. Because it happens and then A little bit later she’s “normal” again so they keep saying they can’t do anything because nothing is showing up. I really hope you guys get some answers soon. Because I don’t want to see someone else go through what my mom is going through. It’s scary for the people around but the feeling the person having the episodes is even scarier. My mom explains it as you can be completely find calm doing nothing like watching tv. And all of a sudden it feels like pure adrenaline is coming from your toes to your head that is tingly, numb, but also painful and your body seizes like your have a seizure and you begin to shake. My mom also goes into a claw like motion while she’s shaking and is uncontrollably moaning. I don’t mean to say all this to discourage you or anyone. But to see someone going through something so similar. In no disrespect is kind of comforting. Because I know my mom isn’t alone and that she isn’t the only one nor is thinking are we crazy? Are we creating something that’s not really there? You start to question yourself and self doubt when drs tell you there is nothing showing up every time. I’m not saying they have the same thing going on. My mom does have other medical stuff going on. But to see and hear something so familiar I can’t even put into word. I hope you get the answers help you need as soon as possible💗
