Partial Epilepsy Posted: 11-26-03 05:07am
I suffer from partial epilepsy, not the
general type that results in total
unconciousness.
In my case it is termed partial complex
epilepsy.
I only picked it up from after age 30 and
it seems to be stress related.
It is difficult to treat and medicines do
not always work.
Can I hear from anybody that also suffers
from partial epilepsy and the possible
causes for it.
What medication are you using and does it
actually work 100%???

Hello,
what happens to you while you have
a seizure? Was it a long time b4 you were
properly diagnosed? I am female 21 yrs
old and my eeg only showed up stress. The
neurologist sent me to a shrink and the
shrink said I am mentaly well. So that
was a bonus. I am goin to se another
neurologist wednesday because I am still
having seizures. I am on tegretol and
epilim its not working. I mean I am good
for a few weeks then bang it happens all
over again. If you could please tell me
how you feel it would be much
appreaciated. I can hear and I somw what
know what is going on but then a few hours
later I am very vague about the entire
episode. Latley I have been having grand
mal seizures that last over 20 minutes.
I believe this is all due to stress. How
do we get rid of it now though. I dont
feel stressed. I have only been like this
6 months.
Thanks sam
