Greetings!!
 It is great to have you come and be with us. You will fine a great number of dear friends to listen when you are in need of ears. Please, just let us know how we can help you out. You will find out we are supportive and relaxing place. I do have epilepsy which I was 10 when it developed. It has been going on for 49 years ago, until in december of 2009.
My advice to you is to see a neurologist or Epileptologst I found that seeing an Epileptologist at a Epilepsy Center has been the best thing I ever did because Epileptologist specialize in epilepsy and they can find out the cause of the sz. along with putting a person on the least amount of sz. meds to help control the sz.
If you do see a neuro or Epileptologist you should get an e.e.g. done along with an MRI and CT scan this will help find out what's going on.
If you want to find an Epileptologist you need to ask your family Dr. to refer you to one you can usual find them at University Hospitals or Large hosptials.
Try taking vitamin B12 once a day, cut back on caffeine, starch foods, and carbs and you may want to stay away from anything with nutra sweet in it because the nutra sweet causes more electrical activity in the brain and can sometimes cause sz. for a person. Also when at the theater seeing a movie when the bright light blast out avoid looks at them by covering you eyes.
Start keeping track of your sz. and write down what time they happen and describe them also write down when you start and stop your monthly cycle because hormones changing can also cause sz. for many women.
Please keep us up to date on your situation. Again welcome, looking forward to seeing you around. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
