Kenneth,

are you having "absence seizures" these are when you just kind of check out, stare off into nowhere, almost like you pass out, but it looks like your completely awake?

Hi Kenneth,

I am sorry your meds are not working. Please go see your doctor and try something else, lots of meds out there... I remember first being diagnosed. It is a really hard time, it gets easier I promise :) Try not to make epilepsy your identity, it is just part of who you are. Sorry you are having to deal with this. Don't underestimate regular sleeping patterns, healthy eating, LOWERING stress. It is really important to take care of yourself, be kind to yourself. xo
