Petit mal seizures
Wed, 03/22/2017 - 14:15Hello. I am 27 and I've been suffering from petit mal seizures since I was 12. I take anti-seizure meds and anti anxiety meds as well. Does anyone have advice about these types of seizures. How do you feel with it and keep a job. My drivers license was also taken away. I had a seizure while driving. Just want advice or input from someone in my situation.
