Yes but we found out when I have a nervous breakdown that Valium helped at night after I had a seizure

@A MyEpilepsyTeam Member , There might be 30 or 40 different types of seizures. Epilepsy is divided into 2 kinds, Focalized seizures effect only one area of the brain but Generalized seizures effect all of the brain. At www.epilepsy.com you can click on the box in the top right corner & then click where it says something about Understanding Epilepsy & then it lists several different things you can read about concerning the different types. Also, here is a link about the different types also: https://www.myepilepsyteam.com/resources/seizur... . Your friend in Texas, Becky

Is there something you can call because this is essential for your mobile medical record if you are in some accident of some sort.

They changed the terms on us a few years ago. To have more specific categories I think. We have the same epilepsy they just changed the name and forgot to send a memo
