- First seizure: Jul 1, 2009
- Diagnosis: Aug 1, 2009
lizupatree updated the condition Epilepsy Feb 06, 2013

I have apparent had absence seizures all my life and not realized it until recently. In recent years I've had bizarre episodes that I have suspected were some sort of seizures, but when I have described them to doctors, have been brushed off and just told I was a hypochondriac.

In 2009 they progressed to complex partial seizures, and I was finally diagnosed.
