I had a grand mal seizure in my sleep, possibly more on nov 9th... no one was home so i don't know how many i had

i went to the er the next day because my sister convinced me to.. bc the seizure was weird.. I normally feel relaxed/exhausted after a seizure as if all my energy was released... this time my occipital lobe hurt so bad just before i went to bed. and i woke up with lots of teeth marks on my tongue but i didnt wake up like i normally do all groggy first then instantly sleep it off.  I've been a MESS since the seizure possibly more?

Hello friends my name is Tim,                  11/20/2009

 My wife(Stephanie) has an epileptic disorder and she takes 1(250mg) tablet of depakote twice a day, as well as 800micos of folic acid.

We were in the process of switching to lamictal. She had gotten to 100mg of lamictal twice a day and OOPS WE got pregnant. Know she is 7 weeks and our new epiliptologist is going to do one the following options.

Several times now I will be in different places and swear I smell something like a dead animal.  I know this sounds awful and it smells awful.  I am wondering now if this could be an aura from a simple partial seizure.  I have never had this type before.  Do these show up on an EEG? 

Hi all-For anybody that might be interesting in pursuing brain surgery,  I'd be happy to discuss my situation.  I had a right temporal lobectomy in December, 2008 at Tampa General Hospital (GREAT staff) and have been seizure free ever since.  Surgery was an unsettling time in my life, but I felt as though it was my only option.  I realize there's no guarante

My doctor thought I should try L-taurine for my bipolar condition.  I read up on it and it said L-taurine can cause unusual EEG results. 

I am wondering if anyone has used this supplement before and what it did to their EEG test. 

I would also like to know if anyone has used another kind of supplement that has effected their EEG results and what specific changes showed up, for example, more slow waves or spikes.

Thanks in advance.

Hi all,

I'm new to the forum, but I'd like to post a question I've been researching the past couple days.

I have both hydrocephalus and epilepsy. I had a VP shunt placed in at birth with about 15 or so revisions. I haven't had a revision or replacement since I was two-years-old. I'm now 23. I was diagnosed with epilepsy at the age of 16, after 3 seizures over about 3 years and was put on medication that completely stops the seizures. 

Hello all,

I am a fifth grade teacher with a student who has been diagnosed with Absence Seizures. In the past, she has been on medication; however, at this point she is not.
