Sorry Anastasia but nothing helps. My epilepsy is intractable. I even have nocturnal ones as well. All I can do is adjust my life around my epilepsy, not let it hold me back, and continue pressing forward with my life. I can either curse the darkness or light a candle.

@A MyEpilepsyTeam Member that’s what my boyfriend says. Except I only know when I am going to have a grand mal because my body gets a tingling feeling and I end up having the seizure 15-20 seconds later. But the seizure lasts up to 2-5 minutes

A MyEpile...

I do I don't always know when I'm going to have a seizure and for what my daughter, and friend say it is different type of seizures also

This is a very good question since there are many parts to the brain. They are as follows: corpus callosum, temporal lobe, frontal lobe, amygdala, hippocampus, parietal lobe, and occipital lobe. I haven't ever been told what part of the brain and if it's more than one side. The last EEG I did for myself was back in August of this year. When I went for a follow-up appointment the neurologist didn't make any sense because he stated I was having seizures around my head. This could mean many places and to me the neurologist didn't speak English properly. I see a different neurologist next year in March. I do have both types of seizures which are grand mal and petit mal.

I agree with you on everything you said RichardJIMpompaJr. I have a mix of seizures, without warning.
