When you say seizure are you including myoclonic activity while surfacing from sleep and the odd twitch/single spasm during the day?

Hi - I'm new to the site. Yes I have very occasional seizures during the night - my husband is aware of them and tells me as I come round. All my daytime ones are completely controlled by my medication.

If it is any activity I have to click 'very frequent' but he only has secondary generalized T/C every 2-4 months

I'm incredibly lucky - since a change of meds in May 2011 I've been completely seizure free! Fingers crossed it continues :)
