Rose..my husband Joe some years ago had what he called a negostic complex seizure where he didn't know what he was doing for more then twelve hours..it was as if a part of his consciousness had just shut off..during that time..he did things that didn't make sense..he went to a bank took out a lot of money and bought sports equipment and apparently walked a long distance..miles and miles and ended up in the middle of nowhere out in the country..he had no memory of any of this event. He went to the nearest house for help and was taken to the hospital by his Dad..From what I know these seizures aren't all that common in that a person would have them over and over..but that is what it is called a Nagostic -complex seizure.
To his recollection he has only had one seizure like that and he's had Epilepsy for 44 out of his 46 years..I hope I've been of some help.

My son Zack is 14 years old. This last year he has had 2 episodes where for 12 hours he gets diorientated and totally confused. He can not do simple math tell you his age, what year it is, or remember event that happened an hour before. This does not appear to effect his large motor skills. When he goes to bed the next morning he is fine again.
We saw an nerologist who had us do an EEG....and although she is very surprised he has Epilepsy and is concerned he is having more minor
seisures at other times. We are seeing her to discuss treatment next Firday. Has anyone else ever had seizures present this way or confusion lasting afterwards this long. I am feeling a bit overwelmed and would appreciate any thoughts or advice. Thanks! Rose
