Tensed, Wriggling and screaming!

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

sometimes. SOmetimes they can be focal seizures and able to be distracted out of them.....from memory....haven't nursed in a while.

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.
