Random no causes for seizures questions
Fri, 05/15/2015 - 09:21I've had grand mal seizures since I was 13 but wasn't diagnosed till 15 after my third. The first was thought to be a combo of female hormones changing and a chemical reaction due to cleaning our bathroom at camp w the water being too hot. 14 again they considered hormones. 15 after my head was not too physically injured (thank goodness not needing surgery, just cracked skull) I was given my first tests. Since then I've changed meds but still had random attacks. Just this morning I woke up w a familiar throbbing pain on my head and bleeding. The dogs are super protective too again. Any advice to give me aside from what my neurologist will tell me?
