Seizure

blacksparky

My DW (EOAD) had a seizure this morning while we were having breakfast. I had never witnessed a seizure before and it was very scary. Luckily I was with my MIL and she was able to call 911. She had a large contusion and we had a CT which found no bleeding in the brain. She is home now. My question is does having a seizure (first time) what happens to a LO after as far as progression. I’ve read that the disease can progress quicker. EOAD I’ve heard progresses faster than regular AD already.
has anyone been in this same situation.

Did they recommend or do an EEG to see if she had abnormal brain wave activity? Did they suggest a cause of the seizure? Seizures are brain issues, and dementia is a brain issue. In my opinion, the seizure would indicate her dementia is progressing. The brain issues causing dementia would also be the cause of the seizure. I don’t think it’s that dementia progression would be the effect of the seizure. If you get what I mean?

My wife would have small seizures and then pass out every few months, then would slowly come around and be very week for several hours or more and very tired. It did not seem to cause her to progress any faster. She had test and they didn't find a cause. In her case (which is not normal if there is a such thing as normal) a little over a year after the first time it happened she had a stroke (apparently unrelated) and has not had in seizures or passed out since and that was over a year ago. She is now mid stage 6 and in MC.
