Hi. I am 51 years old and was told 2 weeks ago that I have left frontal lobe seizures. This all started last Thanksgiving when I fell the first time (and got a concussion). Everything just goes into slow motion and I fall down, always forward, and hit my head. The day after Christmas I fell again and broke my nose. Since then I have fallen 2 more times, the last being about a month ago. This just started not quite a year ago and has only happened 4 times since then. My primary care doc sent me to a neurologist. I had MRIs and an EEG. She diagnosed me 2 weeks ago. Is it possible to have epilepsy and have falling down spells start at age 50 and then have only 4 in one year. Can she tell from the EEG or is she guessing? She put me on lamictal and said to keep a log, but nothing is happening. I'm just unsure. My mother had epilepsy, but she had frequent grand mal seizures. I have had no seizures. I just fall down. What do you guys think?
