Yesterday I was pretty much in and out of it all day. There were times that my husband would be talking to me and I'd answer him dealing with another topic that we were talking about. He said I was sitting on the chair petting the cat just staring off into wonderland. Several times I would sort of forget what I was doing all together then after a minute I'd remember.

Could these have been little seizures all through the day? I don't think I actually had a full one, but I think that I was just on the edge of one.

Has this happened to anyone else?
 
Well, darn. Sorry that's happening to you. That would be pretty confusing for both you and your husband.

Sounds most like absence seizures. Or possible complex partials. Have you had generalized seizures in the past, or have they all been partials? (Absence seizures are generalized and involve the whole brain, C-P are partial and involve only part of the brain)

Call your doc and let him know. Your meds may need to be adjusted.
