New to Simple Partial Seizures. Somebody help me please

Tue, 07/19/2016 - 01:02
So about 4 years ago I had my first child and a few weeks after I had her I had my very first simple partial seizure, at the time I didn't know what it was, I just put it off as anxiety. They would happen every so often. My experience was as if my brain was trying to recall a dream, kinda felt like deja vu, and I felt a weird sensation, and afterwards I would throw up. They would last for a few seconds, maybe 30 tops. And to be clear I have always been healthy, never had these seizures before I had my daughter. Fast forward a month, I found out I was pregnant again, still having these seizure every so often, I remember having these a few days and then going months without having them. After I had her I had to get my gall bladder taking out. I was also in a very abusinve relationship as well. I was always stressing and worrying about everything. Okay well I went what seems like a year and a few months without having any seizures. Then last year in August I found out I was pregnant with my 3rd child, and I was about 6 months when I had another simple partial seizure, and still the same symtoms except now I get like small seizures and really nervous before the real one happens. And I have like weird triggers, its like a train light, or getting in the shower or sometimes I can even think about them and I will have one. They've never gotten any bigger than a simple partial seixure. I also have anxiety really bad. I recently got on the depo shot and I have became depressed. I was also on the depo shot after I had my second daughter. So I guess my question is can hormones cause seizures or what could be the cause? And can they turn into bigger seizures? Can you die from simple partial seixures? I go in for an EEG on August 5th.
