Sudden Onset Seizures?

Fri, 08/24/2007 - 21:42
Hi! My daughter had her first seizure almost 3wks ago. Her first was a complex partial seizure. Since then, she's had 6 simple seizures, or at least that what we think they are. We went for the EEG this week and are awaiting the test results. They ONLY occur in her sleep and she begins to swallow uncontrollably and constantly for anywhere from 20seconds to 3mins. Has anyone else heard of this?
