Hi,
I've had TLE for 37 yrs. I started having absence (petit mal) sz. when I was 10 yrs. old and then the complex partial sz. began. I have never been able to drive in my life but I won't let Epilepsy stop me from working full time teaching kids in Special Education who have both physical and learning disabilities. I had 2 brain surgeries to help reduce my sz. and I've found taking vitamin B12 once a day along with my sz. meds has been a big help stopping a lot of the sz. Also right before I have a complex partial sz. I get an aura sz. also known as a simple partial sz. when this happens I get a nervous feeling in my stomach for a few seconds and see colors flashing back and forth in my eyes. The moment this begins I tighten up all the muscles in my body and make my hands into tight fists by doing this it stops the aura sz. from going into a complex partial sz. You might want to give it a try and see if it helps. Here's wishing everyone here well and May God Bless All of You!
