Recently I had a conversation with someone who asked how my epilepsy was, when I gave them the quick rundown their response was “Oh well at least you haven’t had a ‘proper’ seizure in a few months.” I just shrugged. What did they mean? I had told them that I had not had a Tonic Clonic seizure since the summer, however my partial (both complex and simple partials) remained unpredictable. At the time I was so used to people not getting it that I let it go, however this was not the first time someone had simply dismissed my other seizure types. I also have had comments such as “well at least you are only having ‘little’ seizures.” Today for some reason I have sat and stewed on this for a while, so I am going to talk about seizure types and why ALL seizures are ‘real’ seizures.
