Hello, My name is Danny I am 27 and have been dealing with seizures since 2004. Never before that date have i had one sigh of seizures. it has been one of the worst and hardest battles i have been dealing with also. one questions i have is that the seizures i have are weird, starting like this all the seizures i have had to this day were at night after i had woken up from sleeping, i would wake up have to pee and in a sweat which is weird.  also i have never had any during the day but i have had several grand mal seizures at night like i said. so if anyones has any ideas why this happens please let me know and hope all of you are doing better with your epilepsy.

I'm sure glad I found this forum - I really thought I was SO about to lose my ability to function at all. I had day petit mal seizures and I'm sure I'm having night seizures. Weird dreams that (sorta) come true the next day (honest!), frequent urination, night convulsions, sleep walking, memory loss - and more. But, I didn't know low blood sugar can cause it. I already know I have to watch my blood sugar during the day. George R - what surgery did you have? What pills did you use? I'm on lamictal. I REALLY don't want to lose my job and I REALLY don't want to lose my driver's license. Any experiece with your neurologist threatening that?

Hi, my neuro-guy told me he was gonna have my license taken away because my seizures have decided to come back strong. I did well for a while then the company that I mail order my meds thru began to mess up. I have grand mal seizures during the day and night. The last ones I had WOW what a mess. My mother came to take me to see my neuro-guy I don't remember leaving the house, I don't remember driving to the office being in the office having seizures in his office he gave my mother a prescription to get filled for me right then she said I walk into the pharmacy with her do I remember no she said she took me home and I had 3 more seizure and she and my brother tried to lift me to take me to the hospital and couldn't I was like dead weight  the had to call an ambulace and the hospital kept me for 2 days. All I do remember is waking at home in total I lost 3 or 4 days. Now I wonder why my neuro-guy wants to take my license...LOL
