I had a high fever and was found in a crib at the age of two. Basically, I got diagnosed with Epilepsy at that same age (2). The type of seizures I have are petit mal (small ones where I am staring at someone or something) and grand mal (big ones where I fall to the ground). The Epilepsy Seizures I got actually is hereditary from my dad's side of the family. I haven't ever had any when it comes to my seizures being from a brain trauma, brain injury, head injury, and/or head trauma.

In 1969, I was diagnosed with petit mal, grand mail and psychomotor seizures. In the 90’s after the MRI tge diagnosis became complex partial seizure disorder.

That's a good question, I know I have been diagnosed with my condition and is epilepsy, I have have had a grand mal, petty mal, one that I'm having that last about 10 or 15 secs and am aware of but going through, then come out of, my memory is not what it was when I was younger, I like your post on the question here you put, cause I see my doc bout twice a yr, she asks me how many I had since my last visit, doc and I haven't recently gotten into what seizures I have, like I said, she asks how many, but hasn't gone into the names of them, those are the ones I can think of I have, my opinion on the question.
