Seizure disorder and dr. appt (not word help)


Posted: May 10, 2010

Son had a doctor's appt. today and the doctor did some clinical tests for a seizure disorder- he failed one.  The doctor called it Rummer's test- like rum.  I can't find it online.  Any suggestions what he might have been talking about.  The test was when he was standing with eyes closed- arms straight out.  He listed to the right and lost his balance.

Thanks!

Are you sure it wasn't your basic Romberg test? - NM

Could have been- looked at some sites, so thank you for the nudge in the right direction. Doctor was ESL, so you probably hit the nail on the head. Thanks!

not sure what board to use.  I tried the gab board, but the link did not work.   My 20-year-old daughter was diagnosed with schizoaffective disorder.  She is a high school dropout (working on that with online classes), trying to get custody of her baby back because she had a psychotic break after baby was born and CPS took her baby away, has had legal troubles because of her psychotic breaks.  Its been a roller coaster ride.  Just wondering how difficult it would be for ...

Undiagnosed Neurologic DisorderFeb 10, 2010
I have an undiagnosed neurologic disorder where I have hemifacial spasm produced by pushing on my skull and neck. This seems to be blood but all tests are negative - MRI of brain, C spine, MRA, etc.  I have had a previous cervical laminectomy for stenosis and pray that is not failing. Had it done in 2004.  They thought I had a dural fistula in my brain but could not confirm that either. I have been in and out of the hospital the last 4 months with no diagnosis. I also have extreme dizz ...

Need Prayer For Anxiety DisorderJul 20, 2014
I would really appeciate your prayers for both my daughter and myself.  We both suffer from anxiety disorder.  I have had this my whole life, and it has made life difficult, but even more difficult is seeing my 23-year-old daughter struggle with this also.  I have been praying for years, but so far my prayers have gone unanswered.  I am trying to stay optimistic, but it is really difficult sometimes.  thank you so much for your prayers ...

Someone said something to me today that I forgot to write down and have now forgotten the word, so I have a word game. Looking for a word.  Not irrational, but if someone is all over the place in their thoughts, blurting out whatever they think, but not making sense.  It was a word similar to the meanings of irrational and illogical. What words can you think of. ...

You know those Compleats meals?  The ones that you just have to nuke for 90 seconds.  They don't have to be kept in the freezer or anything.  I was just fixing myself one for lunch.  Beef stew.  When I went to pull back the plastic after it was finished cooking, it slipped and some of the gravy sloshed onto the inner part of my wrist and the palm of my hand. It burnt me so bad!  I now have a very large red place on my wrist and hand, and after 45 minutes, it ...
