I have a two year old son who was diagnosed with seizures 4 months after I had him. After two years of dealing with doctors they finally diagnosed the type of seizure he has about 3 months ago. My son has cortical dysplasia type 2. The left side of his brain has abnormalities and the cells didnt develop properly. He is very smart and has met all this milestones for his age.

I wish i knew i have trouble walking and leg weakness and also paralysis during and after a seizure not so much the dizziness.
this is fairly new to me as I I've only been dealing with seizures for about a year now but the most new and scariest symptom I've been experience lately is not being able to walk and just being stuck it's only for a few seconds but not being able to move your legs forward for those few seconds is really scary .
I wish I knew why and what's the cause of it but I feel it's a brief disconnection from the brain and the nervous system.
I have real fear that one day I might not be able to walk at all.

There are a couple of things that can make your some dizzy, and loss of muscle strength.

Side effects from the meds can have this effect and seizures can also do this. It a good idea to look over the side effects of the med or meds he’s taking.

And I've also started to get some spasticity in my seizures and sometimes just from walking for some reason I just get all spazzy my mum even yelled at me saying stop doing that you look like a spastic and I'm like thinking I'm not doing this on purpose it's not in my control.
the human body is really a mystery at times.
