epilepsy without grand mal seizures?

Posted , 2 users are following.

hi,

id like to ask how common is to have epilepsy without ..knowing it. 

i have some endocrinal disorder, and the doctors have ruled out everything else. they say sometimes in rare instances epilepsy has an impact on estrogen and fertility. im30. i never had any grand mal seizures. so, how possible is what they are suggesting?

could someone have very mild symptoms that go unnoticed?

    Dear Evemisty,

       There are many forms of epilepsy. Just staring, repetitive moments, a blank look, jerking body parts...so many. It is a possibility of what the doctors are suggesting to you. You could have very mild symptoms that go unnoticed. Research on line. When you educate yourself on the subject than you gain more understanding to deal. Life is so uncertain but your reality is yours. When I have my seizures ( uncontrolled moments ) that is my reality at that time. I'm doing the best I can. The endocrine system dominates so much. I here to talk.
