thank you so much...

This will be very helpful. It is a great idea and I think will be very helpful in explaining to my neuro and headache specialist as well as the Epiliptic specialist I will be seeing what exactly I am feeling. Lately (within the last week) and I am averaging about 2 seizures a week. (No where near my dad who is at approx. 20 a day, he goes in for part 1 or 4 of brain surgery on the 14th.) Talk about stress and worrisome

But hopefully this will lead to some answers as to why I am having seizures as well. His started at age 36, mine 31. He is now 55, but living in a state where they are not to updated on medicine and he was an alcoholic so he went many years w/o taking his meds or drinking while on his meds. So who knows what has really been happening to him over the past twenty years. He stopped drinking over 11 years ago, but no one ever explained all the different types of seizures there were out there. I can remember my dad constantly staring off into space when we were talking to him and him not having a clue as to what we were saying. We were just kids and we thought he was just daydreaming. We would literally laugh at him, but now in hindsight, not so funny. I do the same thing, but my husband and son are aware of the different types of seizures. Sometimes I could just kick myself over things like that, but then I blame it on the medical system for not giving the proper information to my parents or us kids (I was 14 and older when these were happening, so I could understand what was happening, if it had been explained).

So for babbling I couldn't sleep.

Thanks again for all your information and suggestions. I appreciate them all and will use them to the fullest extent.
