"Absence" seizures.

Sun, 02/28/2010 - 02:53
i was diagnosed with epilepsy 5 months ago, i feel like shit. I can't tell the difference between awake or asleep. I feel like a 90 year old with alzheimers, anyone else feel this way; staring(1-5 minutes), forgetting, feeling like your not there, not being able to concentrate. anyone else feel this way? i think i'm going crazy.

I had an absense seizure yesterday at the zoo! One minute we were looking at the zebras and the next minute or so I snap back and my whole family was waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay away from me! I had to run to catch up with them. I was sooo mad at my hubby! He forgets that I have E and I told him that he has to make sure I am with him! I had a tonic the night before and woke up peeing myself.....gotta love E. Oh, and I am having a rough time because I ran out of my meds....thank God I get them refilled today!
