I had two night-time seizures in my sleep 7 years ago. No family history, no known cause after MRI scans. Went through a series of medications but since there were no further seizures I was able to discontinue taking them after a period of 5 years. Everything seemed fine for another year but then I had another night-time seizure in my sleep about a year ago. I have been taking medications again since with no further seizures. It's a very minor annoyance, having to remember to take a pill before bed. Sometimes I forget but nothing happens which the doctor said is normal since the medication level is slow-acting over time so missed dosages are not an issue for me.

Epilepsy is basically an umbrella term, covering a very broad spectrum of medical issues and people are physically impacted in various manners and to varying degrees. I'm just glad that I haven't noticed any difference in my daily life from before I had that first seizure and I trust this is the case for Lindsey as well.
