ePiLePsY..~

assalamualaikum..
huhu..

i think..

maybe u all know..

what type of disease i've chose..

...EPILEPSY...

ermm..

maybe MALAY called it as SAWAN..

in Malay..there are a lot of types of epilepsy..

such as..

SAWAN BABI,SAWAN TARIK

SAWAN TANGIS(i'm not so sure with sawan tangis..its just like in AHMAD ALBAB..huhu)

actually..EPILEPSY is not a type of mental illness or retardation

it is a common condition that causes repeated seizures....

seizures are caused by ...

bursts of electrical activity in the brain that are not normal

it also may cause problems

with muscle control, movement, speech, vision, or awareness..

What are the causes..??

+ head injury

+ brain tumor

+ brain infection

+ stroke

but in our traditional life..

they also related that

epilepsy is being caused by the "ghost"..

ermmm..maybe..

what are the symptoms..??

+ repeated seizures that happen without warning..
+ lose control of muscles...

+ you may fall down, and your body may twitch or jerk...

+ may stare off into space...

+ faint (lose consciousness)...

Diagnosing epilepsy can be hard...

If you think that you or your child has had a seizure...
your doctor will first try to figure out

if it was a seizure or something else with similar symptoms...

For example, a muscle tic or a migraine headache may look or feel like a kind of seizure.
Your doctor will ask lots of questions...(small talk..hehe)

He or she will want to know what happened to you

just before, during, and right after a seizure...

Your doctor will also examine you and do some tests, such as an EEG

This information can help your doctor decide what kind of seizures you have

and if you have epilepsy...

How is it treated??...

+ Surgery to remove damaged tissue in the brain

+ A special diet called the ketogenic diet.

+ A device called a vagus nerve stimulator

How will epilepsy affect your life???

+ when you have a seizure, you could get hurt..

+ seizures can happen even when you do everything you are supposed to do..

so...be careful..~

to prevent injuries.....

+ Cushion the person's head.
+ Loosen any tight neckwear.
+ Turn the person on his or her side.
+ Do not hold the person down or restrain the person.
+ Do not place anything in the mouth or try to pry the teeth apart

next time..

i 'll explain more about this disease..

i'm so tired right now..
huhu..okay..

later i'll continue it..huhu..

okay..daa..

salam.. ^_^
