Hello All:

I subscribe to MedPage Today and they had an interesting article about undiagnosed subtle seizures (not yet diagnosed) that can result in auto accidents. The title of the article is, "Car Accidents Common With Undetected Epilepsy." It made me wonder if any of you have had this experience. I've copied the first paragraph of this article. Here is the link to the entire article, https://www.medpagetoday.com/neurology/seizures/89205?xid=nl_covidupdate_2020-10-20&eun=g1577843d0r&utm_source=Sailthru&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=DailyUpdate_102020&utm_term=NL_Gen_Int_Daily_News_Update

"Focal epilepsy patients with hard-to-detect, subtle seizures experienced long delays to diagnoses and treatment, and those delays were tied to a high occurrence of motor vehicle accidents, a cross-sectional study showed."

If you did experience an auto accident prior to a seizure diagnosis, I'm wondering how long it was before you were finally diagnosed?
