Hi Cazzie,
I've had simple complex partial sz. for over 30 yrs. It will often start out as an aura sz. where I get a nervous feeling in my stomach and I see colors in my eyes. At that moment I've learned to tighten up my muscles and make my hands into tight fists by doing this it will stop the sz.
Complex partial sz. are when only one area of the brain is firing neurons instead of both sides of the brain. This type of sz. is very hard to control and it can make a person very moody and sometimes a person will want to cry for no reason.
I've found that taking diamox and mysoline the 2 best AED's to help control this type of sz. Here's wishing you well and May God Bless You!
