New Treatment for Partial-Onset Seizures

Hi, @jakedduck1 - thanks for the article on treatment for partial-onset seizures, also called focal seizures and described on mayoclinic.org as follows:

Focal seizures
When seizures appear to result from abnormal activity in just one area of your brain, they're called focal (partial) seizures. These seizures fall into two categories:

Focal seizures without loss of consciousness. Once called simple partial seizures, these seizures don't cause a loss of consciousness. They may alter emotions or change the way things look, smell, feel, taste or sound. They may also result in involuntary jerking of a body part, such as an arm or leg, and spontaneous sensory symptoms such as tingling, dizziness and flashing lights.

Focal seizures with impaired awareness. Once called complex partial seizures, these seizures involve a change or loss of consciousness or awareness. During a complex partial seizure, you may stare into space and not respond normally to your environment or perform repetitive movements, such as hand rubbing, chewing, swallowing or walking in circles.
Symptoms of focal seizures may be confused with other neurological disorders, such as migraine, narcolepsy or mental illness. A thorough examination and testing are needed to distinguish epilepsy from other disorders.

@jakedduck1 - I know you've had a variety of experiences with seizures over your lifetime. Wondering if you might explain if you've experienced partial-onset seizures, and if so, what type? If so, would this newly approved treatment be an option for you?
