is it normal for a person to sleep 8-10 hours when they suffer tonic clonic epilepsy?

Monday, March 29th, 2010

is it normal for a person that suffers tonic clonic epilepsy to sleep for 8-10 hours during the day as they feel "tired". I was wondering if this is normal and if it is associated with tonic clonic epilepsy or epilepsy in general.

no, you should see a doctor

What is the key if you move from the tonic (G major) to the dominant?

Friday, March 12th, 2010

I had this question on a quiz:
If theme 1 starts in the tonic (G major) then what key is the key of the second theme (dominant)?
sorry the wording may be off but this was the general idea
I answered that the the dominant key (2nd theme) would be in D major
If you could let me knw if this is correct and if not, then why? that would be great
thanks a lot!

D major. The dominant isn’t five steps up, it’s the fifth scale degree.

What does tonic, subdominant, and dominant traids have to do with I IV and V?

Saturday, February 27th, 2010

I was asked to draw the tonic, subdominant, and dominant triads in root position.Underneath the space given to draw it,it says e minor: i iv and V. What do I do?

i (roman numeral 1) is the symbol for the tonic triad, iv (roman numeral 4) means subdominant triad. and V is the roman numeral 5, and refers to the dominant triad. For triads in root position, the bottom note is the corresponding scale degree – so for tonic (scale degree 1, or in other words, the 1st note of the e minor scale), the bottom note will be an E since you’re in e minor. the other 2 notes, you just stack them up on top of the bottom note, each a 3rd higher than the note below it. So you get EGB from bottom up. Use the same method for the subdominant (4th scale degree) and dominant (5th scale degree) triads. Don’t get confused by capital and small roman numerals (i.e. i and I, iv and IV) – they simply indicate the nature of the triad. For minor-sounding triads, it will be small numerals, for major triads, it will be in caps. And since you’re told to draw a major dominant triad (from the big V used), you will need to sharpen the middle note of the triad – which is actually the 7th scale degree (the leading-tone: it’s always sharpened in minors for music theory and traditional harmonic progressions).

Can you easily buy unsweetened tonic water? where? what are some brands?

Thursday, February 25th, 2010

I enjoy a couple vodka tonics after work, but find regular american tonic water to be too sweet. i don’t want diet/sugar-free tonic water; rather, i’d like to find carbonated, unsweetened tonic water to use, and if the drink ends up being too bitter, sweeten it to my taste with rose’s lime juice.

can someone help me find this product?

wow, I think Tonic water is the most bitter thing ever, and I’m in the states

What’s the difference between Mineral, Tonic and Soda water?

Tuesday, February 23rd, 2010

And which one is better for you?

Coinman’s dead on target. Couple other small points:
Think quinine tonic was Rawther Popular as a mixer in the malaria belt (think India,etc.) in the 1800s. Since quinine is extremely bitter-tasting (the old medicinal-dose stuff must have been awful!), sugar had to be added. Modern tonic has sugar/corn syrup or is available in diet versions—your judgment on "how healthy" THAT is. But don’t count on being able to get a therapeutic dose of meds on modern Canada Dry tonic….

Soda water (just carbonated water, SOMETIMES with flavoring but no sweetenings) has no calories by itself. Pretty popular with folks who want bubbly soda with pizza, but who hate diet beverages. Look for lemon-lime(very, very common), lime, lemon, raspberry, or orange flavors. I’ve seen black cherry s.w. in the midwest USA, and a wonderful cranberry-lime s.w. in Rhode Island.

Mineral waters, were really trendy in the 1970s and 1980s, minimally tasty, and seem grossly overpriced at ALL times, IMHO. It’s the minerals that provide the distinctive tastes of each…..and those vary from "subtle" to "what DIED in the water supply, anyway?" Used to be "health-giving" in the 1800s and early 1900s—people went to "the springs" to bathe AND drink the stuff….sulfur compounds and all…..

Are tonic clonic seizures only a symptom of epilepsy or can they be associated with migraine?

Sunday, February 21st, 2010

I have been told that I have been having tonic clonic seizures and that these are due to epilepsy. Sometimes these seizures are so bad I have to be given Diazepam to bring me round. I am also being treated for chronic migraine and the doctor who treats me for this says that these fits are due to the migraine and not epilepsy. Is this possible? I am getting confused as none of the doctors seem to agree with each other.

I myself have tonic clonic seizures since the age of 12 with no warning. you have not stated if you know one of these fits are going to happen. I used to have horrific headaches that could of been migraines. you say that doctors do not agree on a diagnosis, what clinics have you been to? Ask your Doctor to refere you to an epilepsy specialist because they cannot prescribe medication until they know what they dealing with.There are some really great specialist epilepsy units out there, here they will give you MRI scans, ECG etc these could show if you do have epilepsy. Unfortunately Nothing showed up in my scans that could be causing the epilepsy. Please remember if it is Epilepsy, medication if taken regularly can control seizures and can lead a normal life, It takes a while for the medication to actually work because the correct amounts have to be administered. after being seizure free for 5 years you will even be considered for a driving licence. Phone epilepsy help lines for advice. good luck and I hope you get the answers from doctors that you are looking for, It must be very stressful and frustrating for you. x x x

What fish other than sharks does tonic immobility work on?

Saturday, February 13th, 2010

From what I understand, you can turn a shark upside down and it will become passive for a limited amount of time. It’s sort of related to "playing dead" in animals such as the opossum. I’d like to know what other fish can be similarly pacified.

I’m afraid,I don’t know what fish other than sharks does tonic immobility work on,but I can explain that tonic immobility is a natural state of paralysis that animals enter,in most cases when presented with a threat.
tonic immobility can be somewhat effective on anole lizards and a loose study was done with tonic immobility with the rabbit.
Tonic immobility has also been used to describe the paralysis which often immobilizes animals such as rodents or birds when they feel threatened by a predator.
Tonic immobility plays a role in survival if it helps a hunted animal to blend in with its surroundings by remaining as motionless as an inanimate object.
This tonic state is common with invertebrates as well.
