Hi there, I'm 38, had sleep epilepsy since I was 9 and never had a seizure while awake, well maybe one as I drifted off to sleep but I don't count that. Lol.  Anyway, I only have tonic clonic seizures and have been seizure free for about 17 years, take two 500mg epilim pd.  in the last two years I have had what could be two partial seizures?  One where I had just parked my car (I know, freaky) and one minutes ago where my while laying in bed I felt like my head had electricity buzzing through it.  Just before this happened I felt really hot and kinda scared, which is odd in its self as I was laying next to my husband and he is not that scary.  I don't know what to do, I drive a car and don't want to kill anyone nor lose my licence.  I won't drive for the next few days and see what the heck happens.  So out of the ordinary for me. What do I do?
