My 9 year old daughter has just been diagnosed with absence seizures
after an EEG.  The local children's hospital has offered to include her

I have a history of complex partial seizures. I was seizure free with
tegretol for a few years until last year when I had a car accident
(Didn't hit head) and took panadeine for the pain. I had a numb arm and
felt lousy and doctors looked for nerve damage from the accident.No

I have a question that's been bugging me a while now and I hope someone can
help me with it.
I've never given too much thought to my boyfriend's illness as he's been
taking Depakin for years and has had no problems whatsoever since. Hopefully

Hi, I'm new to this site.  Here's my story...
I've had epilepsy since I was a year old. I had a GTC, possibly casued by
a fever when I was a baby. I was on phenobarb from 1-5 when my parents
finally took me off of it (with DR.'s permission) b/c I hadn't had another

I've had TLE for about 6 years now. It's been somewhat controlled with
a few auras every month or two. In the last year i've noticed that when
I am typing up emails or documents at work and read back what I typed I
notice words are missing in the sentence.

I went to my neuro yesterday and was kind of just checking in with him.I
told him about something that has happened a few times and he says that they
are simple partial seizures.This is what I did.I was getting ready for work
one day and i just felt weeeeeeeeeeeird.I felt like i was ...

   Looks like flu season is here again. I had two GM seizures about 9 years
ago, and have been on dilantin ever since. That seams to have kept the
seizures at bay.
   When first diagnosed, my doctor (a "gp") told me I needed to start

Ok, call me big baby but the seizure thing is becoming a nuisance.  My first
seizures were in August of 1995.  Four grand mals back to back inside of 30
minutes.  No more until December when I had a minor one.  Taking Lamictal.
