Blackouts

Hi everyone,

I've recently been diagnosed with epilepsy.

First time I blacked out doctor said it was a migraine, second time it happened Dr. changed his tune.

Both times were when I'm looking at things but what I'm seeing isn't computing with my brain & my eyes are darting all over the place then I black out.

I'm 57 and never had this before in my life & it's not in my family line either. I'm fairly healthy, I don't eat rubbish, don't smoke, I exercise so it's a surprising blow.

I'm trying not to dwell on it and live my life I'm taking levetiracetam pill twice a day & praying for healing.
