Hi guys. Nice to meet you. I figure I should say a little about myself. I'm 16 years old and suffer from epilepsy, OCD, and Asperger Syndrome. I had my first seizure when I was 11 and had another one when I was 12, after which I underwent an EEG. The results were later inconclusive, so I had an MRI done. That showed I had a lesion on my left temporal lobe. I was perscribed Keppra, but it was learned that it made me much more anxious then I already am, so I switched to Tegretol. My tonic-clonic seizures have stopped, but I am now having other seizures, and I don't know if they are partial complex seizures or absence seizures. I had another EEG done earlier this year, but I never heard if the results. I'm wondering if it would be all right to start a thread describing my symptoms and getting some opinions on the type they are. Nice to meet you all. I'm aware of people on forums introducing themselves then never coming back, so I'll try not be that guy!
