Type of seizures?
Tue, 04/01/2008 - 20:15I'm really not sure as to the type of seizures I have anymore, even though I've been an Epileptic since 1959. I've had all kinds since then. Right now, I black out at times, and sometimes I'll just sit there and try and talk myself out of it when I feel it coming on. Sometimes I'm successful at it. Anyway, can anyone tell me what type they are? I would appreciate it.

Hello Birdie, have you ever worked for wal mart here in Aurora, Co? Your name is very familliar. If not, that is ok too. My father is epileptic, like you, he blacks out for a spell. It's as if he drifts off in his own little world. He never has a seizure like I have. Epilepsy is a very complex disease with many different causes, and some cases are unexplainable. I know this is of no real help, I wanted to say hello to you....Paul1960
