Brain / CNS Tumors Support Group
A brain tumor is any intracranial tumor created by abnormal and uncontrolled cell division, normally either found in the brain itself, in the cranial nerves, in the brain envelopes, skull, pituitary and pineal gland, or spread from cancers primarily located in other organs (metastatic tumors). Brain tumors may be benign or malignant.
Has anyone else ever had a seizure and they still "somewhat" functioned with their task at hand? Obviously, my loved ones knew something was not right, however, I just kept fighting through the task, not very well, but still tryed to push through! Is that possible, is that a seizure, mini stoke, etc?
My issues with asking my Dr's (which I have asked) is the fact that I am a Veteran, and go to the VA hospital. I am sorry to say, I don't have much faith in them!
Please let me know if something of this sort has happened to any of you!

My husband had this happen quite frequently before he had his surgery. I guess seizures can be different depending on where they are in the brain. My husbands tumor was on the right temporal lobe. Whenever he had a mild seizure he would seem to stare off into space and just have a really strange look on his face. If you tried to talk to him he was unable to answer. We found out from our neurologist that this was actually mild seizures. This could be what you are experiencing. Hope this helps.

After I had surgery for my first invasive,Pituitary Tumor, I had mild seizures. I would stare straight ahead, feel dizzy, lose track of time a bit, and would fall out of my chair. To take of the chair issue, I got a chair with arms to use a work.. that helped a great deal. I only convulsed one time during the year and half. I was on Dilantin.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
