Out of all the types of epilepsy--do you know what type you have? I have gone thru several types--always good to know what feelings are also seizure related--so you can KNOW you are not losing your mind! Many different ways the brain misfires.
i've been suffering since i was around 15, i'm 34 years old now and JUST recently started looking into help.. i was sure i'd be thrown into the loony bin if i told doctors coz this thing makes me feel crazy when it's happening..had no idea what it could be.. i've already had docs try n tell me i'm just stressed or mental and i knew to expect that..but i won't give up now that i'm on the journey of getting help. your vids are great, thx
I had Absence seizures as a kid at 6 years old, then at 13 became complex partials- but my friend sees me have Absence seizures still. EEG doesn't show 3 per second spikes though. It does show spike and wave and driving response. It does help to know what you have, and to learn about them. It makes it easier to educate people about it. Most people don't know about complex partial seizures- so the more education the better.
