grand mal - pregnancy
Posted: Fri Apr 02, 2004 4:20 pm
Hello everyone,
would appreciate help with patient whom I feel needs to be handled very carefully.
Story I am told includes
Pregnant 6-7 mths, age 34, 2nd child.
marijuana smoker for a few years or so.and still smoking it now.
Extremely stressful childhood. Abandoned in street as child by mother. In foster care a year or so then father found - lived in his physical abusive care til left home to fend for self age 13. Says has no hangups! Has very positive attitude.Smoked same thru previous preg. Also smokes cigs. 6 a day now.
Has sclerosis of hippocampus, right side, from injury.
Fear of pain
says pain threshhold is nil
problems with authority and trust
Fear of losing herself
urination 4am in pregnancy
no tolerance for those who wallow in their misery
Drs think a drink was spiked as found amphetamines in blood a few months ago
was having fits every hr, passing out [not convulsive] hyperventilating. Was hot.
had grand mal in emergency room
patient says drs said fits were possibly from anxiety, epilepsy or heroin. She doesn't use heroin.
fits short 30sec
could hear but not see
lost control of bladder
Now taking tegretol 300mg am & pm
Has had 5 or so grand mals in last few mths. Last 2 mths ago.
During last attack
lost memory
numb feeling ascending from feet
passes out
sometimes attacks just before sleep
breathing stops - usually 30 secs
sometimes dripping hot perspiration although can't feel it
last attack on waking felt like someone was 'sticking knives in back of calves'
likes chocolate
I am reluctant to prescribe past some nutrients without your input.
thankyou
