Thank you for responding, Sue.

I appreciate you sharing your personal experience as well!

I was leaning towards this experience being a complex partial seizure as well. However, I didn't have an aura. I was fine one moment, and the next, I was completely lost and confused. Complex partial's are always preceded by an aura, aren't they??

I suppose that I should contact my epileptologist's office and speak with one of the nurses. Thanks for listening...

Hi Shez,

There have been many times when I don't have an aura sz. that leads into a complex partial sz. it all depends on the person and the area of the brain triggering sz. Start taking note of what the weather is like and if there's a low pressure in the weather, also take note if a lot of people are using cell phones and then you have a sz. They have proven that some people will have sz. when low pressure is coming in because the air is heavier, and it affects a persons hormones triggering a sz. Cell phone can sometimes trigger sz. if a person is cell phone sensitive like myself meaning if I'm around a lot of people using a cell phone at the same time it will cause a sz. do to the frequency of the cell phone. My Epileptologist told me all about this last yr. and I was very surprised. Here's wishing you well and May God Bless You!

Hello,

I've gotten my directions from my epi's nurse today ~ stop driving for at least 3 months and report to the state. It wasn't easy for me to be honest with them, as I was afraid of losing my license. I fought my guilty conscience vs. fear of my ex-hub imposing anger and disappointment in me. I knew that it was right to speak up to my epi and risk losing my license, but I'm still afraid of the consequences. We have split custody of our 2 daughters, but he is the "primary" custodian. And they live 20 miles away from me...There is no mass transit outside of my town. How I will get there to see my girls is a mystery.

It's a big mess! But, at least the decision has been made by a professional, they're upping my meds, and we will see how things go from here. I'll have to push myself to get back into keeping a journal to record my sz's. Thank you for talking to me ~ it's been a while since I've been active in any E communities. E has always been an important aspect of my life, since I was finally diagnosed anyway.

I've experienced the same to some extent. For example--maybe not the best example, but nonetheless--I've went to the bathroom knowing I've locked the door, but soon realized it hasn't been locked. Stumped as I get, the only reasonable explanation to me would be false memories.

When you continuously do a task over and over (lock the door, for example), you will of course expect that you've done it this time, too. When you don't do it, and you come to realize the absence of this task having been done, you get a false memory... That's my non-medical idea of what's bringing this about.

I think in your case it may have been something a bit more serious than my example, though.
