How often do YOU have seizures?
Mon, 03/26/2007 - 19:22Topic: Living With Epilepsy - Youth
i know all epilepsy cases are different, I have petit mals, simple and complex partials, myoclonic (twitches and tics), and now i might possible be having grand mals in my sleep. apparently I've had epilepsy my whole life (17 years) and i was only just recently diagnosed. I ask other people about their epilepsy and they say they only have about one bad seizure a day/week/year etc... I have about 20-50 different recurring seizures a day. and my response to that from some people is shocked and they feel bad for me. I don't know if this is normal since i am so new to all of this. So i'm asking, How often do you have seizures?

It really is quite unknown for me. Some times I can last 2 months without seizures, then it comes and people get worried. Other times I have 2-3 per month. On the days I get seizures, the minimum of seizures I get in that day is two. The most seizures I've had in one day is 5. Recently, my seizures have been getting more. I just had 3 lat week.

had Epilepsy since I was 15, I am 45 now. In my 20s I had 2 or 3 per year. In 2018 I had like 8 per year. Sometimes twice a month, sometimes with a gap of two months. But definitely, now I am taking more prescriptions, no alcohol, sleeping better and having more seizures. Also, I take Depakote and Keppra.
