My daughter Carly has had a couple of partials recently and it's been at family gatherings where there's been a lot of chatter and people mulling about. She also finds it 'strange' when we as a family are talking and, say, the television is on. We know it's not loud but to her it sometimes is and if it starts to echo she will leave the situation and try to focus herself out of the feelings she's having - which has worked on some occasions. The partial she had last Sunday was so strong, dizzy, hot and echo's that she said later she thought she was going into a TC. I gave her a Clobazam and took her home, the day before everything built up at her sisters while playing with her little nephew and she ended up in floods or tears.
I think she's expecting too much of herself, having only recently being diagnosed and having her Keppra upped after every partial, she's now on 2,750mg per day and thinks it's working because so far she isn't going into TC's.
If these situation can in fact be triggers then maybe she should steer clear of them for a while, although you can't always predict how a situation will pan out - today for instance when the bus filled up with children, mums and buggys, it was so busy and so noisy it put me on edge but I tried to act normal in case I stressed her out too. I was pretty worried though.
