Partial Seizures at Work Making life hell

Thu, 04/21/2016 - 11:42
I have been having partial seizures off and on for 5 years now. When I have a seizure my face will tighten up, my arm will tighten up, my whole body will tighten up, or all of the above at once. Whichever one happens I am always aware of my surroundings and able to communicate in some way. Recently I have been having them more frequently while at work. I have had to leave work early at least once/week for the past month. Yesterday I had 2 seizures at work. Not sure what is triggering them. Anyone else experience similar situations?
