Hey - all of us who suffer from petit-mals have been posting here and there under other people's topics!
I figure it's time we start our own. Just to keep in touch - and talk about treatments and FRUSTRATIONS (of course!) and to vent and just be there for each other!
I've found that petit mal seizures aren't as common as complex partials or whatever - and sometimes info seems limited!
Love
Kaitie

I tend to agree with that to a certain degree. I think there could be a lot more people out there that have petit-mal and either don't know what it is or have been badly diagnosed. The thing with this sort of E is that quite often all the tests come back ok and then it's wholely up to the Dr to treat it as E or not. There starts frustration No 1
There are many kind of generlized seizures...What was known as "Petit Mal" once upon a time is now referred to as "Absence sizures"
This may get you more customers...Good Luck
I have a question for everybody here. Does anybody else besides me get excruciating headaches along with these petit-mals? Last night I had a headache (not a migraine though) to end all headaches. It was so bad I was ill. Anybody else get headaches like these?
I get these headaches as well, mine are after the seizure and they feel like you've got an axe imbedded in your head and headache tablets don't do a thing. Sometimes mine can last a few days, I suppose that's just another thing we've got to put up with.
Something for us with Petit - mals.... 
Anybody else get headaches like these?
