I was diagnosed in 2004 of which I only had 2 grand mals.  And then nothing until last weekend where I found myself unable to carry a conversation and couldn't remember the entire day the following days.  I'm pissed!  7 freakin years with no seizures!  I wondered if I really even had it! I would love to find out something provoked it that I can change!  ANyone else pissed???
