Can Drop Seizures suddenly appear?

Sat, 07/02/2005 - 21:37

Am 35 , have been dealing with seizures since teen years.  Recently switched from Tegrotol to Trileptal a couple weeks ago.  Had an episode while stenuously working out...passed out suddenly and fractured my orbital.  Didn't bite my tongue or feel the urge to go to the bathroom prior to the episode...can it be possible I had a drop seizure for the first time?

Maggie,

I am not an  expert,  but it was explained to me that Deja  Vu's are simple  partials.   I was  also  told that my aura's  could actually be  simple partials.   

I  just went  to  the  main page  of  E.com and looked up Simple  partials, and deja  Vu was there.    But a  write up also  shows it under Aura's.  So  maybe we are both right?

This is the first I've heard of people being in seizure state and being able to hear etc. but not do anything. I tried telling my neuro my house could be burning down and I would have to stay there because I would not be able to move talk etc. He told me I had myclonic sz but just found out from mom I had blackout sz when I was in teens any info on this????

It is when I am coming out  of a seizure that I can  hear but not move or respond.  My legs are  the  last  to recover.
