Who knows what changes things to cause more. Tell Dr for best control of any diff in your seizure pattern for best ease of mind and advice bout how to avoid too.

Sounds like your medication(s) have lost their potential. You may want to talk to your Dr. He/she can start finding a new medication that can hopefully work and start recontrolling your seizures.

Have you been under a lot of stress lately? I’ve found in my 38 years of dealing with epilepsy. That stress plays a major role in epileptic activity. After I learned to let many stressful situations roll off my back. The frequency of epileptic activity decreased dramatically
