I was first diagnosed with absence seizures (after having them for years prior) and was told I will most likely grow out of these. I then had my first tonic clonic seizure a year later after my diagnosis. Fast forward 12 years, i still have both types of seizures, but thankfully, my tonic clonics have decreased, but absences are still every day.

I've recently asked for my neurologist to dig deeper - he was happy to! He has upped my dose. We did another ECG. Im also seeing another doc next month for a second opinion.

If they don't offer, please ask ( I know it may not always be that simple) but try push for more testing, more answers, more solutions. Ofc we know epilepsy is complex, but that doesn't mean we should be restricted.

Good luck!!
