i am at present 43 and have had T/C for god knows how many years but in the past few weeks i have been getting worried as on the odd occaision that i forget my tabs (well i blame the meds on the bad memory lol)
i have been suffering from stareing fits or at least i think thats what they are this morning for instance i had just set up my electric mitre saw and was just about to use it when everyrhing seemed to go blurry for a few seconds and when i came to it appeared i was just stareing into nothing for that short time
this worries me greatly as i spend so much time working with large birds of prey as well as doing a lot of DIY which entails using machinery
i would be interested how other people out there handle these problems
 
Check with your doc -- sounds like your meds aren't working properly.
 
Different meds are used for different kinds of seizures - partial, absence, tc's. If staring seizures are new to you, please do tell your doc. she/he can figure out what kind of seizure it is, and prescribe a new med or adjust your current one if needed.
