@robertjr Welcome to Connect!! I feel your pain all too well with a lifelong battle with seizures. Doctors used to think that it was triggered by a car accident that I was in. However I can remember as a child in school having what I know Now to be aueas and partial seizures. I was on dozens of different medications over the years and finally ended up at in the Mayo Clinic monitoring unit for seven days. The clinic was fantastic as well as the staff!! The only thing that I think I would have changed was the use of my laptop. Lying in a bed or relaxing in a chair was not my lifestyle. At that Time I was working 12 hour days had two young children married at a very busy lifestyle. I spent a good eight hours of my day on a computer if not more. On my last 48 hours in the hospital I asked if I could resume some of my normal work activities I had brought my laptop and they allowed me to use the laptop and then I started having seizure activity they started Trileptal. I no longer have migraines daily and only had one aura in 10 years. No terrible side effects.

So grateful to my Mayo Clinic Team!!!
