Hey, Betty
Thanks for your response. I checked the internet and the info I found generally referred to AD patients seizing in the late stages. (and the 10% figure is also what I have heard).
Mom is not in the late stages. So I was wondering if it was AD related or not. The ER doc said you find seizures in any type of dementia patient, but never said if he thought this was the case with Mom.
We haven't gotten an appt yet with her neurologist. We will in a few days though, because she'll need her Dilantin levels checked. I am hoping he can give us more information.
I *would* like to talk to someone who has been through this. I guess misery loves company. :)
Thanks again for responding.
