I will give it another try! I just feel so bad when they are almost ready and they suffocate, drown or whatever they do in there eggs to die. It is heart breaking. Ya, my dog sets me into pannik/anxiety attacks. I actually have to take neds myself because of him. It all started with the dog and now there are a few other factors that set the attacks off so they put me on seixure meds cause they are thinking they could possibly be petite seizures...imagine, little delicate seizures on a big cow like me!

Petite mal seisures have nothing to do withe size lol ( not of the person and your not fat geesh)
petite mal means small attack
Grand Mal seizure mean large ( dangerous) attacks.
I have both varieties, not fun in either case, its a short circut in the brain, the electrons in the brain misfire, get confused,fire of in a disorganized pattern.
if you have been diagnosed with Fibro then it wouldnt surprise me this is happening.
the petite mal are the ones that most people call day breaming, you kind shut off for a few seconds, your there but your really not there so to speak. these little buggers are the ones that trigger panick attacks ( also knows as anxiety attacks)
Grand Mal seizures are the ones where you fall onto the floor shake , twist, convulse, twitch, and usually lose control of bodily functions.
these ones are the most dngerous because you can injure your self, have a stroke or heart attack.

My mom has epilepsy and had her first grand mal when she was about 14 or 15. I've seen her have petite and grand mal seizures... grand mal are very scary (especially when you're a little kid and you're watching your mom suddenly drop to the floor and start convulsing violently). She's been on some pretty heavy meds most of her life, and fortunately the mix of meds she's on now have kept her from having seizures for many years now. Her brother used to have petite mal seizures a lot and one day had a grand mal while driving a delivery truck and crashed. Thankfully he wasn't seriously hurt.

Ingrid had a grand mal seizure when she was around 3... I never felt so terrified and helpless in my life when she was standing next to me on the couch then suddenly stiffened and fell over & started shaking! I knew immediately she was having a seizure (since my mom is epileptic), but I had no idea why she was seizing! The EMS people were great and said (as did the ER docs) that she had a fever spike which triggered the seizure. It happens to young children occasionally and they usually grow out of it. They also said tho that if they have one, they're prone to it happening again in the future, so now I'm paranoid every time she gets a fever. Luckily she hasn't had another one since that one time.
