was it a seizure?

Tue, 03/22/2005 - 16:43
I have had epilepsy my entire life and my last seizure was about a year ago. a couple of weeks ago though, i woke up in the middle of the night and my body had about 3 violent jerks and then i passed out again, was this probably a seizure? and should i be worried if my white blood count is low? i am currently on 1200mg of carbatrol/day.

probably a seizure, wouldn't worry, too much.  I doubt that your blood levels are too low, because that number looks slightly high to me.

I would get another one done just to see.  but don't worry, a break-through seizure every now and then, is normal.
