Absence Seizures Info

A MyEpilepsyTeam Member asked a question 💭
Los Angeles, CA

Can anyone suggest in-depth reading about absence seizures? Most of what I've found online so far is the same basic info thats on the Epilepsy Foundation website. And to be clear I'm referring to generalized absence seizures, NOT complex partial seizures. It seems like a lot of people refer to the latter as absences which can be frustrating!

I use to go to the Mayo Clinic for my seizures but someone had to drive me there since i can't drive because of my seizures. I had my whole right temporal lobe removed when i was 5 years old. Then when i was 17 i got a VNS put in my chest for my seizures i'm on 3 different seizure medications which would be Keppra,Felbatol,Vimpat, they work very good for my seizures i been through a lot when i was little.

Google that, but also those types of seizures, for information "Mayo Cinic" very in depth.
