Got Diagnosis

Fri, 04/22/2016 - 13:06
I went to the neuro today and got an official diagnosis. Localization-related (focal) (partial) symptomatic epilepsy and epileptic syndromes with complex partial seizures, not intractable, without status epilepticus. Not sure what all this means. Can someone put it in simpler terms? I thought complex partial meant you lose consciousness. I have always been aware of what is going on. Can anyone help?
