New guy just sayin hi

Figured I'd drop a line in here and say hi. Stumbled across the forums here and figured y'all might be able to answer some of my questions. As well as me being able to answer a few myself. I'm 22yr old male out of PA. Living with nocturnal epilepsy for 6-9 years. On tegretol and have been since they started. Not sure what else to say. Except hello and I hope to help in anyway I can.

-Kevin

Thanks everyone for the warm welcome. The forums great from the little I've been through so far. And hello to all my other night-owls. It's amazing to see soo many others with nocturnal onset aswell. Of the few other epileptics I've known/talked to, I always felt like an odd bird for having them while asleep.

No nicholasscott, I just wake up on the floor or wherever I end up, feeling like I was in a kickboxing match and lost horribly. Although I have read that some people wake up prior to.
