Over 40 Different Types Of Seizures.......

Sat, 05/06/2006 - 23:47
It has been said repeatedly that there are over 40 different types of seizures with more or less only the most 'popular' listed. Let's see if we can locate the ones that aren't. These types of seizures affect someone and I feel need to be noted. I'm curious to see how many can be located. Anyone interested in helping me find them, please list what you find here along with their description. Thank you! Take care and have a good day! -Spiz

I don't think nobody has inculded Reading epilepsy which is what i have got, well one of many forms of ep i have.

Partial status is also semi rare but that also what i have too.

 Reading epilepsy is rare and the onset stage of the condition is between 17 and 19 ish... and i am 17 going on 18 soon... yay!! 

complex partial seizures... normally people memory is wiped during the episode but it is also possible to remember them as me and my friend's husband does... i remember them sometimes and sometimes i dont.... depends how long they last and what not.
