Hi, my name is Olivia. I'm sixteen and I'm just getting used to the fact that i have epilepsy. I had my first seizure in september 2010. It was tonic clonic and at first i thought it was just a one time thing. Then, two weeks ago i was sent home from school because my eyes rolled back and my body jerked several times. I was also sweating alot. Last friday I did something really stupid. My first EEG was normal so I decided to see if strobe lights would induce the myoclonic jerks that I have in the car. Well, it induced something. I woke to find my mom, dad, and 7 year old sister watching me. I had a tonic clonic seizure that lasted three minutes and i have now been diagnosed with epilepsy. The things that worry me are my auras because I have different ones all the time. And I haven't had enough seizures to know my auras yet. Which is a dilemma because i dont want to have any more. Im really happy to find this site because it truly makes me feel less alone. Thank you everyone for support:e:
