HI Everyone,
My name is Kathryn I am new to this website. I am 22 years old and I had my first gran mal seizure when I was 6 weeks old. I am going to do an observation within the next two months to see where my seizures are coming from. The reason why I am doing this is because when I have an EEG at the hospital and I've done the weekened EEGS nothing shows up on my EEGS and I've had seziures while I am doing the EEGS but the machine doesn't pick them up.

Hello Henry,
I am new as well, but thought I would give it a try. Looks like we will be doing it together!

hello, henry
i was working 10 hrs a day, 6 days a week, taking care of 2 kids and in August of 2001 driving home from work i had my first grand mal seizure, and the doctors said stress caused my epilepsy.
i am now 45, and still have those small seizures you describe. and cant drive either!
so just take all the stress out of your life, eat right, take your medicine, and get some sleep at night.
and take one day at a time!
everything will be ok...
