@A MyEpilepsyTeam Member sharp waves means seizures. seizures can cause by a stroke or most epilepsy. i think you have partial seizures. and seizures at night are called nocturnal seizures. its when you are sleeping or falling asleep and have a seizure.
i had a lot of seizures in the morning noon night and midnight seance i was a kid. i dont know everything but i know a lot. i just want to help you figure stuff out that the dr dont know about.
i have seizures cause by foods. all the dr were baffled about the unknown seizures until my teens. i dont want you to go thru what i went thru. thats all.
