They never found the cause of my seizures and where they are coming. I have never had any accidents, never hit my head on anything, I just suddenly out of the blue started having seizures. I have gone through many test to try and figure which side of my brain they are coming from and they don't even know that. I have undergone surgery and had a Vages Nerve Stimulater implanter to help with the seizures.

My son also has a seizure disorder 2ndary to a childhood illness. He will be 30 in January, has never been able to drive. He recently began having break through seizures and they started him on another medication which is suppose to enhance his current meds. The testing is such a nuisance being hooked up to all those electrodes...My thoughts and prayers are with you. It is comforting to know you have a supportive family to help you and we all here to support you, too!
Just wondering if stress could be a factor??
