Nami has epilepsy and she also has spondylosis of the back.

For epilepsy
Frequency : 1-2/year, usually shortly after false pregnancies
Note : The attacks start with arching of her spine, stiffening of her legs and her pushing out her claws. She will eventually start losing her balance, followed by vomiting and loss of control of her bladder and bowels. She is fully conscious during the whole attack. We have not timed the attacks, but more than five minutes, less than half an hour. Will update if she has more seizures. She has hypothyroidism, but is being medicated and still had an attack. As all but one seizure has been directly after false pregnancies, and due to her suffering from these and mastitis after each heat, she has now been sterilized and we will see if this reduced the frequencies of the attacks

updated news (11/2017) : She has not had any seizures after her sterilization. We believe it was her false pregnancies that set them off, and so far seem to be correct. Very lucky as her seizures were getting worse with age.
