How long were your EEG's ? Were they a 3-4 hr, 24hrs, 3 days, or 5-7 day EEG ? The longer the EEG the better chance catching it.

Yes I had childhood epilepsy and mine were absent type seizures- I don't even think the teachers knew what was going on

Personally-I have given up on eeg's. I have had to many in my life and every one of them have proved nothing. To try and solve the problem and really get some solid answers I had the depth electrode test-basically electrodes inside your brain. Having an absence seizure it something I have to live with also and I end up having a migraine headache after one is over. All that does is makes having epilepsy more frustrating. If You do not have one already ask Your neurologist if there is a specific kind of medication that is stronger & better that will help end migraine headaches faster that You can use that is not purchased off the shelf in a drug store/pharmacy.

I am still having the absence seizure and the grand mal toxic seizures and I'm on the same meds as you. 500mg of limictal and 2000mg Keppra a day. I suffered from migranes a lot which I explained to my neurologist and he put me on a beta blocker which reduced my headaches. Whenever the migranes do come neurofen or ibeprofen with an hour or two sleep helps. Whenever I take absence seizures I usually take a sleep or eat/drink something which seems to bring me back to earth again which can be hard to do after absence. Hope this helped :)

I haven't had a grand mal since 2001. However I do have petite Mals (Absent or Partials) regularly. Around my monthly "Friend". Just before, during or right after. Dizziness, Nausea, crazy thoughts, cant think straight, I cant even articulate simple words like car, I am awake but NOT THERE. My husband will be talking to me and I am just staring into space, no clue what he was saying and then so tired I have to sleep. For hours. They did all the tests (MRI, CT, Sleep study, EEG everything) I have Epilepsy of an Unknown origin as the dr has put it.
