    Yeah we did take her to the chiro, and it doesnt seem to happen AS often s it used to, so thats a good sign. She is still going, we tried bringing it up with him at her last visit but she started crying and we kinda forgot about it from the distraction.
    I dont think she is fitting, i have seen a baby fitting before (my sister, she has epilepsy and had all kinds of fits when she was a bub)
    Id say its either a pinched nerve or a cramp or something similar to kind amake her freeze up like she does.
    Ill take her to doc during the week get it checked out.

    Just remember that with epilepsy there are several different forms of seizure, not just a gran mal fit.
    If you are really worried, and it sounds like it is something that is happening regularly, take her to the paed, and they will if anything be able to tell what it is not.

    good luck and I hope Izzy is all good soon

    Say if it was a fit, would she stop crying when picked up or moved into a different position??

    Im not sure. My sister has epilepsy and it began with absence seizures where she would just drift off and her eyes would glaze over and she would be gone for aywhere between 10 seconds and a minute. She could be distracted out of it most of the time. Her earlier gran mal seizures where very sedate, but they have gotten worse. she doesnt have them often, butwhen she does they are full on fits.
    Maybe if she is distracted out of them and cries she may be unable to control them, what ever it is.

    Hey,
    Just a thought, could it possibly be a spasm from torticollis?? Isabell has torticollis, we are waiting for our refferal to a physio to treat it, and ive heart of torticollis causing spasms.
    Thanks so much for your help so far girls. Im going to call doc in the morning and book her in for a appt just to make sure.

    could also be febral convulsions rather than epilepsy iywkim. My brother had febral convulsions and they were bloody scary.. he'd tense up and just stare .. and then he'd come out of it and be absolutely exhausted.
