Normally I wouldn't be concerned. Had a girlfriend that has them. She wrecked 2 trucks and lost her licence until they got her meds right. She lives a normal life now.

The problem is his medical history coming in. I hope it's not too serious.

But she doesn't play professional football for a living.

This is not good for Robert, nor the team.

I not medical expert nor do I know much about seizures, but the one person I do know that had one could no longer play sports the rest of his life. Now he had his at a younger age so idk if that plays apart or it its about the severity of the seizure itself, but either way Im a little worried. hopefully hes fine and can get back to living a normal life

The difference between the person you know and RQ94 is accessibility to state of the art health care
My biggest fear is that Quinn simply doesn't want to play in the NFL anymore and is suddenly in a position he can walk away without looking like a coward amongst his peers.

I highly doubt that. Quinn wants to play.

Having seizures sucks. I have an Ideopathic Seizure Disorder from my time in the Navy.

The kind of seizure is a big deal.

Rest assured if they are saying is prognosis is good, it was probably a clonic seizure rather than a tonic-clonic (Grand Mal). I wouldn't bet it would be an absence (petit mal) seizure because that just looks like staring off into space and are extremely hard to discover. Could be, just doubtful.

The good news is that it's also unlikely it was a tonic-clonic because if it was that, they'd have had to call 911. You only need to see one grand mal seizure to realize it's an emergency. Especially for someone that big. He wouldn't be checking himself in.

We'll see how his scans come out. I'll be praying for him and his family.

If they do give him Meds, hopefully they don't start him with phenobarbital, Dilantin, or Topamax. All of those make you feel like you got lead feet. Keppra is good (levetiracetam). At least has been for me.

Get well soon #94!!!

I rather see Quinn recover from this, than rushing too fast trying to get back on the field. These are health complications that usually just don't go away...Get well Quinn.

Just get well RQ. Football is just a game and you are a young father first. Positive thoughts and prayers for a full recovery.

As of a few moments ago, on NFLN, Quinn is out of the Hospital, and back at the practice Facility, but weather he is participating in Tuesday Practice is unknown!

In my opinion, Fisher did not say much. ... except Quinn wanted out and back on the Field...

Well that's good news. If he's already at rams park it sounds like they expect him to play. Maybe he was just dehydrated? Or he gets them at times? I'm sure we'll hear more. But good news Quinn!

Can confirm he was indeed hospitalized for dehydration. Should be quick recovery and hopefully plays Sunday. Prayers answered!

What in the world made you come to this conclusion ?

Keppra is what works for me too, very well, although on the highest possible dosage. The only side effect I seem to have is some slight memory loss. Big deal for a 25 year old...now that medical marijuana is passed in Florida I may ask my neurologist if I can try cannibis oil to get off the prescription meds.
