A friend has partial complex and I met her thru a friend . We were at a deli eating dinner She pushed a salt shaker across the table she stopped talking at that time When her eyes stopped being glassy and showed her what she did. She had no idea. When our meal was served and pepper shaker was shoved across the table she said I stared. We both laughed! We had dinner and took the bus back!

I was diagnosed with what's called Focal dyscognitive seizures. I think it may be an old term. It basically means this my Focals can be one or the other so either impaired awareness or consciousness is impaired.

I have the opposite. I have Focal Impair Awareness Seizures ( Complex Partial Seizures ) . Basically means I don’t know or I’m unaware that I’m having seizures.

It’s not easy knowing whether or not I seizured. The only way I know is when someone alerts me , of having a seizure.
