Do I have epilepsy or just a seizure disorder?
Hello. I've had seizures ranging from grand mal to absent for over 15 years and on medication for them. My discussion/question is, I've only ever had them within 2-3 hours of waking up. I have researched and can't quite find what kind of epilepsy or seizures they are. I just call them episodes. I breathe weird, my eyes blink and flutter into space. Those types of seizures are my "normal" ones. I'm just not sure what to call my diagnosis for sure. Anyone have anything similar?
we’re glad you reached out. For your safety, since we are not medical professionals, we cannot offer medical advice or provide diagnoses. There are a few sources of information from the site that may help you get a better understanding of common symptoms and how epilepsy is officially diagnosed https://epilepsydisease.com/diagnosis, https://epilepsydisease.com/symptoms. It sounds like you are currently being treated by a physician for your seizures. If you haven’t already, it may be helpful to have a conversation with them about your diagnosis. In the meantime, I hope others can share their own experiences with you💕. Please do not hesitate to reach out if there is anything we can assist with. We’re here for you. All my best, Julie (team member)
