I had my first grand mal seizure in January of 2009. That seizure and about the next 4 were all in daytime.
Recently I have been having nighttime seizures - the most recent were, one I had last month around this same time, and one was last week.
My question is if it is likely to have both daytime and nighttime seizures? I read somewhere it is unlikely but I was curious as to what your thoughts are on nighttime seizures. Currently I am on 100mg of Dilantin 4 times a day, and I hate it because my gums are overgrowing and it makes me very tired.
My Dr. told me to go do a sleep study and said that if I have this sleep thing it can cause seizures at night and then not having had enough sleep can also cause seizures during the day.
This whole thing is just very stressful for me...I feel for all of you! :e:
