I had a few I remember but probably more.
I went to my then Neurologist who refused to check my seizure levels so I went to my primary care doctor 15 miles away and on the way home I had a seizure which turned out to be a focal. My mom got us off the road and I crawled out over the top of her and went running onto the highway, the other time I was at the Grand Canyon I had a focal and started walking towards the canyon and a man guided me back. I’ve always wondered if when someone wanders if they are somehow Abe to , the other time I was at the Grand Canyon I had a focal and started walking towards the canyon and a man guided me back. I’ve always wondered if when someone wanders if they are able to somehow avoid danger.
I remember a couple of focal aware seizures. One was a déjà vu episode. The other, I was pulling out of a parking lot and nearly hit a car. I went to my neurologist, and he increased my Phenobarbital, and I haven’t had another one since. Will you ask your Epileptologist sometime about his views on Phenobarbital? A man I suggested asking his Neuro about it which he did. He was on 3 AEDs weren't helping. He's been on Phenobarbital since and has been seizure free.
Thanks for you response Chris.

Hi Jake,
Thanks for sharing those experiences with us!
I will be with my doctor this coming Monday and I will ask him about his views on Phenobarbital, the oldest AED still avalaible on the market, right? Is there anything specific you would like me to ask him? I will also ask him if when people with epilepsy wander if they are somehow able to avoid danger.
Take care!
