Multi Focal Seizures
My initial diagnosis was abscence seizures (which I've had for 10 years, 2 which were hallucinatory, and also 2 grand mals), but recent events has led to an alteration to multi focal.
I am meeting with the neurological team tomorrow, so this is the perfect chance to throw them every question I have in their direction about this change.
I've already written several down, but anyone else who has multi focal seizures have any suggestions?

Very good question. An intracranial EEG performed prior to right frontal temporal lobe surgery in Nov 2019 determined my brain is bilateral, so I would say that focal onset has progressed to bilateral tonic clonic. Which is what they were hoping to shut down with surgery but it seems to have gone the other way :) But this was a chance I was willing to take at the time with have done very little research, so the I accept that this is my latest reality. Also hence why I'm doing a lot more research now - I had average knowledge of abscence seizures then, but now times are changing and I want to learn more with them.
This was a question I had already written down to get more clarification from the neurological team tomorrow, but (I think) I have a better understanding so far, so thank you. I'm making a few assumptions here, but from my basic understanding this is why I have retained awareness throughout the majority of these new seizure events (past 6 weeks roughly), whereas before I had impaired awareness. And also why they have performed the gene test, as we have no family history of epilepsy. This is all very intriguing.
