I may be wrong but kindling damage may be like what happened to me. I started out having many absence (petit mal) sz. when I was a kid. I tried many AED's but nothing controled the sz. (I later found out I was drug resistant.) The more sz. I had the more brain damage it caused so I started having complex partial sz. along with absence sz. then came the simple partial sz. All of this happened because my neuros couldn't control my sz. with any AED's and it caused more brain damage. Here's wishing all of you well and May God Bless You!
