Hi. I Am 68 And Have Had 4 Seizures In My Life. I Am Classed As An Epileptic. I Have Been On Permanent Medication For The Past 10 Years.

A MyEpilepsyTeam Subscriber asked a question 💭

I have no warnings of on coming seizures or any knowledge of the seizures. First one was pins and needles in finger tips. Second none that I can recall. Third was phycadelic patterns on the ground. Last one I had about 6 weeks ago and no warning. I have recently had tests and waiting results. Some time ago it was mentioned I had spots on the left temperal lobe.
Does anyone have no indication of oncoming seizures

I have had epilepsy for over 30 years and I have never known when I was about to have a seizure. When I’m back aware from the seizure I won’t know I had one unless someone tells me. So I basically have never known before or after I had a seizure.

It's not uncommon for people with epilepsy to have little or no warning before a seizure occurs. According to the information from source 4, some people may experience an "aura" or warning sign, while others simply lose awareness without any prior indications that a seizure is starting. The spots seen on your left temporal lobe could be related to your seizures, as that area of the brain is often involved in seizure activity. It's good you are waiting on recent test results, as those may provide more information. Some people continue medications long-term to help reduce seizure frequency.
