[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Don't mean to derail but am  interested in experiences 
with absence seizures.  My daughter zones out and her pre k teacher has mentioned it it its not usually while walking or eating or anything. I have inattentive ADD and just assumed that's what we are dealing with. Is it worth seeing a neurologist?

I would talk to your ped.  We had a few months of zoning out.  One incident scared me so we went to the ER who sent us to neurology.  They did an EEG and the neurologist said it was probably the absence seizures but did not recommend the overnight test as they were not severe enough to medicate (but come back in if I was still concerned).  We had a few more incidents but nothing major. I'm wondering if it was the Benadryl that I gave him when he had a cold.  I wouldn't ignore it.  It could be the ADD or something else or nothing.  If she is on medication it could be the meds.  I'd rather be safe and check it out than ignore but our testing was free through the insurance.  [/quote]
