I don't know if I have partial seizures or not, but I'm extremely sensitive to seizure triggers like police-car lights, fans, and flickering light that you see when you're driving a car.
I also fall, and most of the time when I fall, I'm aware of myself falling, but once or twice I just found myself on the ground, seemingly a few seconds after I had gotten out of bed (usually it happens during the night). One time, I knew I had gotten out of bed to go to the bathroom, and then out of nowhere, I felt a huge impact, and a lot of pain in my foot, and I had fallen without being aware of it, and broken my toe.
I have trouble waking up in the morning, which is probably due to adrenals and thyroid, but one morning, I didn't hear any of my three alarms, and I woke up at 4:00 p.m. I vaguely remembered having a migraine, taking the imitrex, and then going into a deep darkness. I was very shocked when I woke up and realized what time it was.
I've also had this fragmented feeling about a day, for example, what happened in the morning seems to have happened a long time ago, like the day before. So somehow, I've lost time.
Sometimes, I find myself wandering aimlessly around the house, not really knowing why.
I do get a very foggy head sometimes, as if things were graying out, but I think that's more like fainting than seizing.
I take Lamotrigine, but I don't know if my doctor gives it to me for neuro-psychiatric Lyme, or for seizures, or both.
