It's understandable to wonder if your seizures feel the same each time. The reality is that no two seizures are exactly alike for an individual. There can be similarities in symptoms or sensations, but factors like where the abnormal electrical activity starts in the brain and how far it spreads can vary. Even in severe forms of epilepsy like Dravet syndrome, seizures can present differently over time - from mild to severe. So it's common for people not to experience the exact same type of seizure repeatedly.

That has happened to me and my medications had to change. They do EEG and MRI to check and medication is upped or another is added!

Mine have changed in frequency and intensity. Sometimes 18 months apart, then a few months apart, last year 3 weeks apart. Now here and there. They are refractory and status epileptus. The ambulatory EEG showed the absence seizures lasted 42 hours, seconds apart, and other things. The seizures are bouncing all around. We're going to do another ambulatory EEG next month, after I've been on the new meds for a bit.
