Absent seizures

has anyone ever heard of Absent Seizures? If so could you tell me something about them? I am going to look them up online. Let me know when you can.  Michelle 

Michelle,

I don't know anything about them. I went under Google.com and alot of sites were listed. From the headings, it looks like they are related to epilepsy.

Don't know a ton about them.  My ex BF had them.  He had many of the same symptoms you have described.  He also knew when they were coming on... like you have said.  He took 2 meds a day for them and they stopped.  Check into Topamax.  I know that is one of the meds he took.  I used to have to take it too.  Mine was for Migraines though.

Good luck girl!  We all want you to get better.

My daughter had them in 3rd grade but outgrew them.  They are also called petit mal seizures.  You might find more if you google that.

Hi Michelle,

I don't know if it's the same thing you are talking about or not, but I seem to remember a user named melting mama on the main board talking about having problems with seizures after wls.  I think she has her own website meltingmama.net ???   You might want to shoot her a message and see what she knows...couldn't hurt, right?

Hope you get some answers soon and start feeling better!
