I have absence seizures. Stress, heat, humidity, and lack of sleep are all triggers.

Riley has Tonic-clonic, myoclonic seizures and then she also has medically unexplained syncope. It is not unusual for her seizures to last 15 minutes. Her syncope can last 3 hours.

Complex-partial, absences for up to some minutes or more. Occasional collapses, indoors or outdoors. Caused by TLE (the right temporal lobe) and, possibly, a benign growth there.
