Newbie with Petit Mal/Absensence Seizures.

I did a google search looking for some advice and stumbled across this site, I love it and wish I found it long ago. I am a 34 year old female and I come from Ireland. I had my first Grand Mal seizure when I was about 12 or 13. I was off school sick and I was playing a game on the Commodore 64 and woke up about an hour later with the family Dr asking me if I knew who and where I was. I was taken to hospital but they didn't really do much. The second seizure I had was when I was 18 or 19 and I was in school. I was taken to hospital and was only there for a few hours and released. I hit my head when I fell but apart from a sore head and feeling dizzy I was fine. I have only ever had 2 GM seizures but I have suffered from Petit Mal since my first GM seizure but my Dr said I wasn't bad enough to be put on meds. I don't have a lot of Absence seizures but when I get them they mess my day up. I have noticed that my seizures increase if I have little sleep or if my sleep pattern changes, does anybody else have this problem? I can usually tell if I am going to have absence seizures (or as my family calls them blinkies) as I get what I can only describe as a feeling of light headedness (its very hard to describe the feeling). I know diet is a factor, for instance. I can't drink Pepsi but Coke is ok. Years ago when I lived in America I made the big mistake of eating Doritos sandwich cracker thingys and the next day was the worst day I ever had, I must have had 300-500 absence seizures because of the Doritos. I think additives do play a big roll in whether I have any blinkies or not. I never learned how to drive, I couldn't get behind the wheel of a car knowing that I could have even the smallest seizure and crash or hit somebody. I have read a few of the posts on here but if anybody could advise as to any natural supplements that might help me I would be so greatful. A few people mentioned fish oils, I am vegetarian but would be willing to take fish oils if it helped. I think that about sums me and my epilepsy up. Thanks for listening. Siobhan.
