I had my first tonic clonic seizure at age 52. Three months later I had a second one. My neurologist over dosed me on gabapentin to the point where I could not walk. I found another neurologist who lowered my dosage by two thirds. I have been with him for 18 years. I am now taking phenytoin. In talking to him, I found out I was having "seizures with aura" my whole life. No one recognized it. My question: are seizures with aura the same as absence? I always had a funny taste in my mouth when the seizure ended. I love watching your videos. You explain everything so masterfully. If a 70 year old high school graduate gets it, you are exemplary at explaining the very complex workings of the human body. Thank you.
I had a similar experience; apparently I've had focal/partial seizures since I was a kid, but I wasn't diagnosed with epilepsy until after my first tonic-clonic as an adult. Absence seizures are different than seizures with an aura. They are a type of primary generalized seizure with complete loss of consciousness and don't come with an aura, so there's no "warning sign". According to my epileptologist, my "auras" are focal sensory seizures (previously called simple partial seizures). If the seizure activity spreads, my sensory seizures will turn into motor seizures with impaired awareness (complex partials) or even secondary generalized tonic-clonics. The type of sensation is based on the area of the brain affected. I have left temporal lobe epilepsy, and at the start of a seizure I'll get a strong sense of deja vu, then a feeling of unreality, and then a weird stomach-drop feeling combined with a rush of tons of different emotions. Sometimes they spread, but sometimes they end there. Sometimes though I'll feel "off" for a few hours or even a day before I have a seizure, and some people call that a "prodromal" feeling. I have no idea if that's actually seizure activity though, and I don't always have a seizure after that weird feeling. But when I had my EEGs that showed up positive for seizure activity, I felt a mixture of that prodromal feeling plus a very mild sense of that deja vu etc that I get at the start of a seizure.
No, an absence seizure is a seizure type. You can have any type of seizure with an aura or not. For example an aura for me before a tonic clonic is feeling like throwing up. You should check that med, phenytoin is pretty old and not really good. It messes with your memory. I felt so drugged when I was on that. There are better more modern meds.
So useful, as a pharmacy student I can guarantee epilepsy is by far the most difficult chapter for the 1st semester because there are many drugs, many mechanisms of action and most probably more than one drug is required for the same type of epilepsy, not to mention how they interfere with the CYP450 and blood plasma proteins for drug-drug interactions... I Would really appreciate if you also made a lecture on antiphycotics!
This might have been the best video I have ever watched. I am just a patient that no doctor will listen to so I have had to become my own patient advocate in learning the mechanisms of so many things. Thank you so much for bringing so much good information in a way that was very clear and understandable. You have given me tools to be a better advocate for myself. Thank you.
Thank you for free lovely lessons, I know this is really hard work. However I would still like to see you guys in this channel. Please don’t give up, you guys are in some way indirectly saving human lives ❤
Hi, I am a medical student in grade 3 from Turkey, İzmir and ı need to say THANK U A LOT. Videos are running parallel to our lessons meaning with time and subjects. We just saw epilepsy and the drugs about it :d . I always recommend my friend about you and your channel. I hope everyone is enjoying it as much as I am about videos.
Thank you so much your video ! As a RN, you help me so much to understand why providers prescribe different seizure medications for different seizure. Please continue your work ! You are the best !
amazing videos with amazing content well explained. a Kenyan student pharmacist and I really gain pharmacology content by watching ninja nerd videos. Murphy you are great.❤
THIS IS A 'MUST SEE ' VIDEO FOR ANYONE RECEIVING MEDICAL TREATMENT FOR EPILEPSY, IT HELPS UNDERSTAND THE WHOLE ISSUE SO WELL! YOU DESERVE A MEDAL FOR YOUR EFFORTS IN HELPING OTHERS... WORDS REALLY CAN NOT EXPLAIN MY GRATITUDE FOR YOUR EFFORTS IN HELPING OTHERS!! ❤
Sir with due respect , thank you so much for making medical studies so easy for us. It's hard to understand everything by just studying textbooks. You're channel has helped me so much to cope with medical school. Hope to get more good contents from your channel.
@@brotherxela5085 No. I was on Carbamazepine, Valproate, and Phenytoin since I was a few months old until I was 19. Also Depekote 12-19 Y/O. When I switched Neurologists he noticed the early signs of kidney and liver issues so he weened me off everything except Carbamazepine. 12 years ago (age 40Y/O) my Neuro weened me off Carbamazepine. So far I have stayed seizure free.

Dear Ninja Nerd, aka Zach Murphy. I just wanted to take a moment to thank you for all the amazing work you do. Your knowledge and passion inspire many, including myself. It means a lot to me to have the opportunity to learn from you. I also have a question: would you consider creating videos on the topics of "antipsychotic drugs," "drug abuse and dependence," and "psychoactive drugs"? I believe they would be incredibly valuable for many of us.
