There can be other problems. For example, reading is a complex task. The child must first see the letters and the seeing must then be translated into electrical signals in the eye. These signals are then sent to the occipital lobe of the brain. From there the message goes to the association areas of the brain in the parietal lobe where the symbols are interpreted. Meaning comes from association with something that the child remembers, memories which must be retrieved from the frontal and temporal lobes.Thus problems with reading could occur at many levels. A child with visual problems who needs glasses may not be able to see the letters. A child with damage in the occipital lobes might have normal eyes but might not “see” the letters. One with damage in the association areas of the brain might be able to see the letters but might not be able to recognize them. Problems in other areas might keep him from being able to retrieve the memories that give the words meaning. These varied difficulties with reading often go under the heading of “dyslexia.” “Dys-” means not working properly, and “lexia” means having to do with words. In most children the basic cause of the dyslexia is not understood. There clearly is a higher incidence of this type of learning problem in children with epilepsy.242\208\8*

This response seems to be particularly common in adolescent girls. If continued for more than a few minutes, excessive carbon dioxide is removed by the lungs from the blood, which becomes correspondingly alkaline. This affects the levels of calcium in the blood, and, in turn, the conduction of nerve impulses and the contraction of muscles. The net effect is that the subject experiences painful tingling in the hands and toes, which become flexed and contracted in a cramped posture. The lack of carbon dioxide also produces a feeling of light-headedness, and the total picture may be confused with a seizure. Treatment is simple and dramatically effective. A paper or polythene bag is placed (temporarily!) over the patient’s, nose and mouth, so that she re-breathes her own expired air, rich in carbon dioxide. The body chemistry and clinical state rapidly return to normal.
