It sounds like something like mine. They use to happen every other day. went on Topamax and tegratol. And it went every 2 weeks. Dilantin I have not had one in 6 weeks.But it seem like My seizures Have some type of timeline. But really it depends on the person and type of seizueres. Best to Write everything down when they happen. This will help your doctor. Buy a small Calender. That you can write on day. With mine it was every two week Then I have seizuers would run for two days 4 to 7 seizuers. And it another two weeks. One thing it I had random Seizuers Inbween the two weeks. But it was rare.

I have the exact kind of seizures you have. I think they start somewhere during the nite and when I wakeup in the AM I am very groggy and my eyes blink constantly. When my nero did a 72 hour study she found that every time I blink I am having a seizure. This will usally stop about lunch time but I am so exhausted afterwards. This month I had a seizure that lasted 3 days. The seizures seem to come about every 28 days. Do you have an aura before your seizures begin? Do you also blink? My friends are so protective of me when I go to school with my seizures. They say they can tell of course by my blinking and that I become very pale and just look so sleepy. How about you?
