Thinks for the reply, Craig.
I had intended the character to have a condition based on epilepsy – it would be a made up incurable condition (but not deadly – unless somebody died whilst having a seizure, or when into a coma etc), which affects about 10% of my supernatural race. I had intended it to be a hereditary condition as well.
I’ll explain what I had intended to happen, and if you could tell me if it would realistic or not that would be great – note that my story is supernatural, so I’m sure there could be some room to blur the lines a little?
The idea was for her to have seizures a couple of times a month – unless they were brought on by stress, lack of sleep etc. Mostly they’d be partial seizures, but on the occasion I’d have her pass out.
I had intended for her to have tremors too, starting in the hands, which would be a warning sign that more often than not a seizure wouldn’t be far off. At that point I’d have her take some meds, which would sometimes stop the seizure coming on.
I guess what I need to know is, if she were to have tremors, starting in the hands, would/could they spread to the rest of her body; arms, legs etc before a seizure? Or if the tremors spared, at this point would it be the beginning of the seizure?
And if the tremors can spread, how might another character spot the difference between tremors taking over most of her body, and her being hit with a partial seizure?
Lastly, after a partial seizure would/could I have her tremor a little afterwards too?
Thanks again.
