Howdy, Im new to this site but not to E. I have had it for a long time now going on around 33 years. Over the last couple years it has gotten progresivly worse, having clusters of grand mals that can have anywhere from 10 to 30 of them in a row. When this happens I will lose a lot of time, anywhere from a week to over a month and the seizures can go on and off for up to 3 days at a time. I have also broke my back 2 times from my back arching. The first time I broke it I lost around a inch and a half in height, crushing 4 vertabra. Well thats a lil bit about myself. I hope that all are doing ok and thanks for reading. Brian
