A convulsion is not a seizure Hi all ... just passing through here almost 17 years later, in a different world.

Please note that a seizure is NOT the same as a convulsion. Seizures are a form of abnormal brain activity (and they may possibly cause convulsions -- or not); convulsions are abnormal contractions of the muscles, alternating with relaxation, so that there is uncontrolled shaking of the body.

Irene, there are many entries on the glossaries...it's always a good idea to check them before you submit a question, it saves time in the long run :-)
