Patient's question:
Whole body twitching, foaming at the mouth for a year, always treated with medication, but relapses are still very frequent. I really want to be cured.Doctor's answer:
Partial epilepsy: Recurrent twitching of muscles or limbs in the body. The duration may be relatively long, usually without loss of consciousness, and after severe recurrence, the muscles in the twitching area may have temporary numbness.Grand mal epilepsy: Sudden loss of consciousness, cessation of breathing, foaming at the mouth, dilated pupils, eyes rolling upward or deviating to one side, limbs becoming rigid, clenched fists starting to twitch. The recurrence lasts for 1-5 minutes, and after the episode, consciousness is unclear or there is loss of appetite. Consciousness returns after several hours.
Plantar epilepsy: During the recurrence, there may be varying degrees of consciousness impairment. After the episode, loss of appetite may occur. The recurrence lasts from several minutes to several hours, or even 1-2 days. The frequency of recurrence is variable, and it may manifest as symptoms such as abdominal pain, dry vomiting, or headaches.
