That’s quite a diagnosis. I have I have partial seizures with secondary generalizations, cryogenic. I am fortunate in that my seizures are often months apart. I had my first seizure at 38 in 1989. I spent 7 days in The Mayo Epilepsy Monitoring Unit in 2019. It was a 3-5 day program but I didn’t have a seizure. It was determined I have seizure activity across my whole brain so I was not a candidate for surgery. I am 73 and age makes all this emotionally so much more challenging. I have had the same neurologist at Mayo all these years. For that I am very grateful.
