My daughter Emma is diagnosed with Juvenile myoclonic epilepsy 2020. The last two months she seems to have some difficulties, answering a simple question. For ex. if I ask her something, I dont know if she has heard the question? But it seems like she can hear me and if I ask the same question once more it takes a couple of seconds and then she answers. Has anyone experienced this?
I have that too ,it's like I need to wait for my brain to register the question and at times I've asked people to be patient with my response as I find it difficult to find the answer or come up with one .
I have issues at times.when it come to responding too. A lot of times, when I respond to a question or statement, I have response that I want to say, but if I try responding too fast I stutter. Then there are times, when I respond in words that have similar meaning but comes out rudely or mean. All because I was rushed to respond. I try to take time thinking over , what I want to say. I can’t even leave a voicemail, until I think what I want to say
She’s probably going through a similar struggle .
To my limited knowledge base my speech became impaired. I was unable to get my speech post my 1st seizure due to high sodium levels. Certain types of seizures can cause delayed visual perception and vocal perception.
Yes it has happen to me . It’s even. More frustrating,when it’s an answer I’ve known for a long time .
For me it's when I'm having an aura and having trouble processing from my thoughts to my verbal expression.
Does it come and go?
It's good you have an appointment coming up. I keep a daily journal so I can get those questions down then take with me my neurologist and primary care doctors.
If you're up to it let us know how the tests came back. May be awhile for that 🤍
