Anyone ever heard of Shock Syndrome?

[Nixz]

I have been told by someone that it is when a person who is a sufferer takes a knock (kick or punch) or is injured and they faint as the body can not deal with the pain.
Anyone shed any light on this?! Ive never heard of it before.

Would it not be quite normal to pass out with pain?

Only saying that as I droppped an ironhot on but it fell out of a really really high cupboard ouch) and although I managed to get to a chair I fainted with the pain.

Its not so much how people cope with pain im interested in, as i realise people handle it very differently. Im interested in the condition really, whether anyone has ever heard of it. Its more or less everytime they have a knock, its hereditory and there is nothing that can be done - apparently!

Google "reflex anoxic seizures"

This is all excellent information - thanks v much.
The reason i ask is that a young girl at my school collapsed today and had what appeared to be a small seizure and then following this, all the symptoms seizures usually produce afterwards (disorientation, tiredness etc).
When i contacted her mum, she said that her she also suffered from this and so did her son (shock syndrome) and that she didnt know her dd also suffered. However, the mother lacks a lot of maternal instinct (nicest way i can say it!) and would not collect her dd from school as she says there was no point. The head asked her to come in and discuss the incident and insisted the mum took her dd to a dr so the school could have clear guidelines on how to deal with it in the future, to which she eventually and reluctantly agreed. I just wanted to know if the mum was genuine and also collect a little bit of info on it.
Quite an upsetting experience when you have a little girl who collapsed on the playground, doesnt know whats going on and then wil have to deal with the wrath of her mum when she gets home from school.

Scary stuff Nixz.The mother is probably quite blase about it if she's used to dealing with her son.
I had a meeting with the school nusre before DS2 started school to draw up a plan of action.He doesn't need to come home nor does he need an ambulance calling at every episode,one of the T.As can be a little bit Emegency Ward 10 at the best of times and clear guidelines were needed to prevent DS2 being able to turn his condition to an advantage IYSWIM.

yes, i realise after reading the information that it is not life threatening and i think constant emergency trips to the hospital would be more traumatic imo. I do feel tho that the child should maybe have gone home if this was her first attack and also STARS website states that the person is extremely emotional and tried afterwards, i think she should have been able to relax and talk to someone today.
Guidelines on how to deal with it are paramount and staff should be well aware of it so the action is consistent. The mum was taking her to her GP after school (she said she was) so watch this space! Thanks for all your advice

She needed to go to the GP anyway- just coz her siblings have this syndrome, doesn't mean she doesn't have epilepsy or somesuch: you said it was much like a seizure

needs a dx

yes, i hope her mum takes her to the GP, fingers crossed x
