Hi I am Janet
just found out I have epilepsy a few weeks ago. Had a eeg and mri and will meet with doctor on the 19th on dylantin. Scary had 4 seizures and one grand mal. Just introducing myself
 
welcome janet :)

so, five seizures altogether? sorry to hear. what were the other four, did they tell you?
simple partial (stay conscious and remember), or a complex partial (partial loss of consciousness and no memory of the seizure)?
we're here to help- feel free to vent, ask, cry, laugh, learn... cwe is the best.

hugs, nat.
 
Hello Janet,
welcome to CWE.I'm sorry you've had seizures I know that is a real bummer.
Do you know what might have brought on your seizures or were they idiopathic(cause not known)
 
Hi Janet--welcome to CwE. I'm glad you found the site and you will find lots of support and understanding here!
 
Hi

They didn't say what the other ones were. I do remember them a bit.I know I fell on a couple of them. Very odd came out of no where so confusing. Still new to this. Appreciate the support and help
 
Hi Janet, lots of helpful info here and everyone is pretty nice.
 
Welcome, Janet. This is a great place to get lots of support and information. I hope they get some things figured out pretty soon. In many cases there is never a cause found for seizures, but hopefully they can be controlled anyway. I would encourage you to keep track of your seizures with Seizuretracker. After over 30 years of having seizures, and tracking them on paper, Seizuretracker helped me figure out some changes to make in my med dosing and I haven't had a seizure for over a month now. Here's the link:

Best of luck to you. Keep in touch.

Onward!
