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.

I have exactly the same outlook, I have had 3/4 seizures at night....two times when I was pregnant, now I am older (much older) things seem to have settled down. As you say it's an annoyance but I think I am lucky and just get on with life......Its controlled, like Lindsey, and just part of what makes me, me.
