I went 10 years with controlled epilepsy and started to get aura feelings and small twitches. So changes can happen. I was prescribed a second medication and it helped sort of but didn't stop it all the way and I was referred to Mayo for an extended eeg and they found that I was having a more seizure activity than I even felt.

@jeffery I went about 15 years without seizures after the neurosurgeon removed the focus of my epilepsy from the center of my brain. Lately I've noticed that I've developed twitching in my hands. I did have a grand mal seizure about a year ago. I feel like my epilepsy is coming back? I may need some serious testing re: my epilepsy soon, before it gets worse.
I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes 4 years ago. My blood sugar level was at 25. The endocrinologist put me on Gliclazide and my blood sugar went down to 5 or 6. Weeks later, I discovered my libido was gone. Has anyone else had this side effect with Gliclazide? I need to be put on a safer diabetes medication. I'm 70 Y.O.

@Hi @jeffery
I'm so sorry to hear that, and I can well understand how frustrating it can be to have seizures again.
Has your doctor made new considerations after what your latest EEG displayed?
