People who are having trouble knowing what may be a seizure or how many are happening, should write down what they think is happening and take into appointments. It can help the doctor see what is going on and think about if other tests or treatments may help. Here's a link to info that may help.

Hi Everyone, Very interesting comments sounds like I could have wrote a few of what happens to you all myself, I am now almost 28 years old I have epilepsy since I was 16 after a hosre accident, I have TLE and complex partial, I used to always have my SZ in my sleep never aware, fell out of bed one time and was hitting my head on my dresser and along the carpet made a pretty good mess of my face and head and dad heard and found me so thats how we realised, so i wasnt just sore from sport. Then came along my absentee moments,,,, glimm ( special moment) as my partner calls them....... they can range from just a stare to standing and jolting.... these have gotten worse and more frequent and my clonic tonic less frequent........ Here is a situation of my friend.. sorry this is long....... but its important my friend on suffers absentees and didnt think it was a big deal... in the last 6 months two things has changed his mind he was walking across a green walking light on a hwy.... he stopped half way across luckily enough for a lady walking the other way noticed he was cathching the train and had one and nearly fell off the platform and the train was arriving... he belived he was walking on to it someting to think about he sure has.......... I cant tell any of you to follw what I do and everyone is so so different....... but if you can monitor your self.... after you have think back DID i get a warning write it down date time anything look back over it take it to your neuro, some people get no wanrings ever some people always get them and some people arnt yet aware of their warnings..... sorry so long most of all take care of your self smiles & hugs
