Name the 4 types of multiple sclerosis
Clinically Isolated Syndrome (CIS)
Relapsing-Remitting MS (RRMS)
Secondary Progressive MS (SPMS)
Primary Progressive MS (PPMS)
These are the major differences between a generalized tonic clonic seziure and a convulsive syncopal episode
extent of involvement: GTCS has whole body jerks while convulsive syncopal event has twitching of the limbs
duration: GTCS > 1 minute, convulsive syncopal episode is < 1 minute
recovery: GTCS has major confusion and lethargy and possible combativeness. Convulsive seizure patients recover their memory almost immediately, maybe some mild situational memory loss
