Dear Uggie,
Welcome to our group. Although I've had EP for 46 years I have
learned a lot from this group. I was 30 when I was diagnosed
(DX) with 3 daughters 2, 4, and 6. My szs started when I was
carrying my 2nd daughter. Then I had another when I was carrying
my 3rd daughter. Because the Dr. thought that pregnancy and me
didn't go together I had my tubes tied. 2 years later I had another
grand mal. I then had 3 daughters, 2, 4, and 6 plus a husband--
(now ex)
When I had a grandmal I usually slept for the rest of that day.
And it took me a good week to get back to my usual self.
About 15 years ago my szs changed to something like complex partials.
My daughters say my brain is scrambled for about 2 days.
Your daughters not remembering reminds me of the szs I have now.
I do not pass out but also do not remember being at different places.
I'm glad you joined our group.
Millie
