Seizures 10 years apart
Fri, 05/04/2007 - 10:04I am 58 and female and had a seizure 10 years ago, and then a couple of weeks ago really bad one. The docs have decided not to put me on medication for the time being, because of the infrequency, is this unusual? I must admit I am not too keen on medication anyway.

Hi Lindyp, I had grandmal seizures from about aged 15 to 20, then came of the meds and they thought that it had disappeared. I was then diagnosed with temp lobe epilepsy - partial seizures about 2 years ago (aged 25). I went back to the neuro 2 weeks ago who said I am now having nocturnal frontal lobe seizures - joy! So not only can there be a big gap it can rear its ugly head in a different form! I must admit am still trying to find the right med combo/dose. Bestwishes, Bex
