I suffer with three types of seizure. Myoclonic, tonic clonic and absent seizures. Started off with the absent seizures at 4 years old and people thought I was being rude and ignoring them at first.

I had absent seizures as a child (which progressed to sleep seizures as an adult) but the amount of teachers and family members who used to think I was ‘just daydreaming’ makes me sad

How about a 34-year-old female with generalized, medication-resistant epilepsy who is taking 11 pills a day and still has seizures with a VNS device?
