Hi Folks,

I have absence (petit mal), complex partial, and simple partial sz. Once in a great while a myoclonic sz. Here are the things I would want a person to do:

Stay calm
Let me just go about what I'm doing
If I'm having a myoclonic sz. just make sure I'm laying down or sitting
down so I don't fall or injure myself.

What not to Do:

Don't call an ambulance
Try not to be afraid
Never let a Dr. give me neurontin, tegretol, trileptal, or lamictal or I
become very sick.
Don't send me home from work.


I hope the rest of you are willing to share your thoughts and May God Bless You!

Sue
