SEIZURES AGAIN AFTER 19 YRS NOW DIFF

Mon, 10/12/2015 - 07:02

I started having petite mal (absence seizures) when I was in middle school which were not diagnosed until high school. Then when I was 18 I had my first grandd mal (tonic clonic). From then on I have been mediated. I have used  every drug the market to find the ones with the least side effects for me. My absence seizures have been the hardest to control. I have never had any warning signs to my tonic clonic seizures before but after 19 years I had another seizure and I felt euphoric and my speech start to slur.I almost passed out the other day and was slurring my speech again. I have also started having little twitches in my legs and hands periodically. Has anyone else ever had changes in their seizures before?
