Help with Understanding my new Diagnosis

Fri, 07/24/2015 - 14:08

Could someone explain what localization related (partial) (focal) Epiepsy and Epileptic Syndrome with complex seizures means? I had my first appt with the neurologist yesterday and he didn't expalin anything to me just said yes you are having seizures. He agreed with my PCP and continued the Depakote ER 1000mg a day. I have tried looking this up but all I get is that this is an ICD-9 code. My PCP just said it was Epilepsy. Thank you.

Thank you so much for explaining the type and way your seizures happen. I thought maybe I was crazy and put of seeing the Dr for a while because I would be fully conscious. Note that I am learning more I realize it had been happening fit quite a while.
