Hello All - I used to think that the grand-mal seizures I started suffering out of the blue when I was 21 were horrible. However, over the years medication does keep them in check. Approximately 5 years ago I started suffering from a form of simple partial seizure called a "psychic seizure". They happen without warning and the symptoms vary, but they are anything but "simple" and I almost take offense to them being categorized as such. Please read my long bio for a description of this type of seizure that is anything but "simple".
