Good grief another senior moment. At least I like to think their senior moments but in reality they’re more like senior hours. anyway it finally thank you and you were asking me a question and what I mean by “wonder.” i’m going to blame the spellchecker for changing wander to wonder. So I was wondering do you have during your Focal Impaired (complex partials) you go out wandering or walking around during your seizures. I had one at the Grand Canyon and still think about if it hadn’t been for someone guiding me away from the Canyon if I would have walked off the edge. My guess is that I would have since I had another one while I was driving. My mom managed to get the car stopped and I crawled over the top of her and out the passenger door and walked onto the highway. I’d much rather have a Tonic-Clonic, at least with those your down & out.
Later,
Jake

Hi Jake,
No problem, spell-checkers do sometimes change words we did not want to change.
Thank God someone guided you during this wandering in the Grand Canyon and that your mother could stop your car!
During my complex focal seizures, I usually stand still, not walking around. However, this contact of mine who also has TLE has shared with me that in some seizures he has wandered around (before being diagnosed with epilepsy and starting with medication). In one experience, he told me he was driving and when got aware again he could not tell where he was.
You see, the same type of epilepsy, but different seizure experiences.
Have a nice evening!
