Needing advice.
Wed, 04/22/2015 - 04:16Alright so, I'm in my early 20's and I have known that I had epilepsy as a kid. I think from maybe 2 until I was 12 or so. I didn't have anymore seizures and my tests showed that I was in the clear. But, as of late I've been feeling rather weird I guess, I'm not sure if they are seizures because I have no memory of any of my seizures from when I had them. I only know from what my mom told my I had Grand Mal seizures at first then I had absent ones. I've been having a lot of feelings of Déjà vu and another that almost I guess feels as if I'm having an out of body experience but not quite that but that's the closest thing I can think of to describe it. I don't know if maybe I should bring something up to my doctor or if I'm just worrying too much.

From what yo posted and it were me I would be contacting my doctor and discuss it with him. A person can grow out of epilepsy but then others start having them again. A person can have absence seizures and not know it, Some of those "feels as if I'm having an out of body experience " could also be simple partial seizures. The Deja vu can be a warning to many people that they could have a stronger seizure later. When in reality the Deja vu is a seizure itself. When you talk to him do mention that you had epilepsy,I hope this helpsJoe
