Seizures Changing

My simple partial seizures are changing and getting a little worse. Do I need to contact my doctor, or should I just talk to him at my next appointment in several months? Thank you.

Casey, Jazz gave you the best

Casey, Jazz gave you the best hints about what you should do. Please record the information you wish to discuss with the Dr. Try to be sure the line of communication with him/her is a two-way street.    The Neuro. needs to know all the details about any changes and you need to be able to ask & clarify  any and all questions. Do not leave any stones unturned. ...... Good Luck.

I'll put it this way. Before

I'll put it this way. Before I had a grand mal I had had what today would be absence or even simple partial seizure and never knew it. After the grand mal and the diagnosis  the day dreaming in class were actually seizures. A person can have more then 1 type of seizure and if you let your neuro know what is hapening then he can help you get your meds streightened out or even a different procedure which can get you seizure free. Joe
