Re: [epilepsy] Re: New Here



Nancy ,

When I was diagnosed (DX) 47 years ago I had grand mal szs.

About 15 years ago they changed to more like complex partials--
according to what I read. I start out by acting like I don't hear
you. Since I live alone I sleep a lot. Other wise I am probably
sleep deprived. I walk to places I don't remember later. If
I do talk my friends know I am not my usual self. Then I have trouble
talking (my brain isn't working right.)-- then I can't talk at all.
This is usually over the course of 2 days. My girls say my brain
is scrambled. -- Then like a light switch-- my brain turns on again.

I have sent out instructions to people in my building that when I am
not my acting my normal self -- to call my 2 daughters who live in town.
It takes about a week to be my usual self. My last one was 2 years ago.
