Types of Epilepsy

What type of epilepsy were you diagnosed with?

  1. I was diagnosed with status epilepticus when I was 1 yr 2 wks old. As I got older I also developed absence and complex partials. Now the status are much better but still have occasional complex partials, usually from forgetting my meds or drinking too much caffeine.

    1. When I was diagnosed 50 years ago, it was with temporal lobe idiopathic epilepsy. Later in life the diagnosis changed to bilateral temporal lobe idiopathic epilepsy

      1. generalized epilepsy with absence seizures

        1. I was 11 when I was diagnosed I was having both grand and petite mal seizures I'm still unknown epileptic
