I've been diagnosed with epilepsy (mostly simple partials but also complex and possibly t/c's or faints. Have confirmed 15year childhood epilepsy history).
Anyway, my Neuro has asked me to collect "eye witness" descriptions of what happens when I seize. On monday, I travelled 7hours on a bus to attend a funeral. That night, I felt very dizzy and exhausted so I actually went to bed at 7.30pm. The next morning I woke up with a huge bruise on my calf. My friend also told me that while I complained of being dizzy, I was very quiet and pale. She saw my eyes pointing in opposite directions, glazed over and completely out of focus!! I couldn't focus (common symptom) and I wasn't feeling well but the eye thing!!! Anyone else had this? I didn't even know it was possible! She recorded a description on my phone. Hopefully the descriptions from various people will help cement a diagnosis.
