Untreated Partial Seizures of TLE

Sat, 03/28/2009 - 23:59

Is there any information about people with simple partials who don't undergo AED treatment? 

Not being flippant here but seriously....what happens?

The side-effects of all the meds seem horrifying, and I don't lose consciousness,

Is epilepsy progressive?

Do these little seizures cause brain damage?
