  1. My name is Lee Anne. This is my first time writing on this site. have been having a hard time with my seizures. I have been having 5 to 7 a day. Plus, now I have started inconvenience. Not getting to the bathroom in time. And some times it happens with poop. Have had 3 brain surgeries. I was born with galactic epilepsy. They start from the hypothesis. When, you have them, you laugh and your face and hands turn red. They last about a second or two They are also related to Autism It is geneticly related. Would like more information on this subject. Please send me the information that you have. I have been looking for it for a long time.
    Thank you very much
