What type(s) of seizures do you have? - Epilepsy Message Board

Hi All,
I was just wondering how many of us have the same types of seizures.

I have right-sided focal or partial seizures, which have often led to gran mals. After my seizures I have Todd's Paralysis for as long as a half hour.

Anyone want to share what types you have?

Be well, Kathy

I have partial complex seizures due to a head injury. Totally changed my way of life and still cant drive yet...try explaining that to a child (one of 4) when you have to take her out of brownies and make her a bus rider...uggghh
hope all is well

Jon (14) has absense and complex partials. He probably had them (absense) for a year before we knew that something was up. They seem to be more frequent and now and have developed into Complex Partials. New to meds as to start this weekend. He hasn't had GM but we are now ready for anything.

Tigre,
I hear you about the life changes "E" forces on us. In my case I have grown children (actually men!), so it's ME needing everyone to make adjustments around my needs. It has been over two years since I have been able to drive. We live way out in the boonies, so I can't even walk to the store etc. I am SO sick of feeling like I'm always begging for rides etc. My husband has been wonderful about toting me around when he's home, but I hate to have him be forced to head back out to town after his long ride home. O.K., I'll stop whining! I hope things settle down for you and your family. I'm sure your kids are happy to make changes in order to keep you safe. Be well, Kathy
