I was diagnosed with Epilepsy when I was 12.  It started by teachers finding me wandering the halls having focal seizures then l was 10 years old, then I had my first grand mal seizure when I was 12. Around 18 I started getting them controlled with medication but missing meds, stress or not sleeping would sometimes cause one. Now at 27 I have been seizure free for 3 years and very well controlled on the medications I am on.
