Seizures and Memory Loss Getting Worse Every Day

I have Petite Mal Seizures during the daytime and they are only getting worse. I black out on the inside but on the outside, I still function normally continuing whatever it is that I'm doing before I have the seizure but I will have no memory of what happened during the seizure. It's to the point now that I can no longer count to 100 before I lose which number I'm on and I go back to the last number I remember saying after I have the seizure. The other day, my boss asked me to print 5 copies of a set of 15 drawings and I couldn't even remember how many times I printed each drawing or which ones I had printed and which ones I didn't print. I've noticed they can last around 20 min or so and they are getting longer and more frequent every day.

In the last few months, I've started having regular jerking seizures in my sleep. My boyfriend thought that it was just nightmares at first but he can't wake me from them. He shakes me and talks softly to me before he's practically yelling my name and wake up but I don't. He says they last from a min to 5 or 6 min and then I seem ok. They don't happen every time I go to sleep but most of the time I have one and I've never had one during the day.

I'm taking Klonopin 1mg but it's not helping at all. Instead, they're getting worse and more frequent. My Dr sent me for an EEG 2 days ago but I'm afraid that might be the wrong test and it might not show anything. What tests should I have done? Any idea what causes these seizures and why they are getting worse? I'm really scared it might be a tumor or something else. Cancer is very common in our family, and I'm scared it could be that. Please help. I'm so scared.

I currently take Unithroid 0.025 for Hypothyroidism, Vicon Forte, Klonopin 1mg, and Yazmine.

Don't know why I can't edit my post but I wanted to add:

It's odd because there is absolutely no history of seizures in my family anywhere, but we do have a strong history of cancer in our family (great-grandfather had lung, grandfather had lung, uncle had thyroid and lymphoma, aunt had ovarian, mom had ovarian and breast, all survivors except great-grandfather). Could that possibly have anything to do with my seizures?

New symptom this week as I passed out twice after a petite mal seizure and I'm getting light headed very easily, even just sitting down and not moving. It's getting worse by the day. Please some one tell me what's going on and what to do!Got back my EEG results and they didn't find any indicators for me to seize. Now I'm mad and upset because I wanted them to find something and make the seizures or whatever stop. I'm so tired of not remembering anything. So now what do I do? I know something is wrong. Regular 23 year olds don't have this problem yet I do.Sorry for all your symptoms. Maybe your dr. needs to find an effective medication to control this seizure activity. Heres a link with causes, treatment etc. You may also use the search tool for further research on this and good luck.

I understand what you're going through. I'm 21 and have been fighting with epilepsy since I was 13, and I have tonic clonics (grand mals) once a month. I'm on a medication for it that makes me lose my memory (I've lost entire days).

It BLOWS. But sometimes it's funny, honestly. You have to find humor in everything that comes your way in life to get through dumb **** like this. That's how I've done it ^_^

I don't know where your seizures are coming from, but please - be thankful that you don't have full on grand mals. They're exhausting, painful, and usually end with a bleeding mouth. Just keep having faith in your doctors. They had to check first that it wasn't epilepsy, and that was just a simple test that took about 10 or 15 minutes. Now they can move onto making sure it's not something worse, like cancer. But you also have to remember, that a tumor in the brain isn't the only thing besides epilepsy that could cause you to have siezures. Hell, it could be an allergy to something you've recently started using (medication, even food). Keep a journal of everything you do during the day that could even slightly be affecting your health. Then, next time you go to the doctor, skim through it and see if there's anything that seems worth mentioning.

Just keep your head up. If for some reason you really don't have faith in your doctor, get a new one. I've had to do it plenty of times before, and sometimes it really is necessary. I wish you the best of luck. And remember, it could ALWAYS be worse.I encourage you to try to get an appointment with an oncologist to get checked out, if nothing else to reduce your anxiety, which is terrible for seizures.

I had seizures as a teen but was on meds for years which only succeeded in making me sleepy - I still had seizures. But I made the mistake of trying to wean the meds myself, which caused a major seizure. The seizure meds cause major seizures when they aren't weaned very carefully and really need close medical supervision for that.

The one good thing, though, is it got the doctor's attention, and they put me through more extensive testing and finally found a med that worked. It would be better to raise a big fuss by calling and making yourself a pain until they pay attention,though, than to risk having worse seizures!

There are different kinds of EEGs which are better at finding certain kinds of seizures - different probes, strobe lights, etc. But also with the cancer background in your family, I would tell them that the cancer worry is likely to aggravate your seizures until you can get checked out by an oncologist and get a good report from them. Yes, I advise asking your current doctors and checking out with your health care plan what second opinions you can get or if you can self-refer to an oncologist or get the general practitioner to refer you.

When I was about your age, I started work and was always being diagnosed with bladder infections. I was allergic to the meds and was pretty miserable. My coworker finally begged me to see his urologist. His wife had just died o bladder cancer and had wasted too much time with the general practitioner. The urologist used a catheterized sample and found no infection. He said the test in the cup the general practioners do often yields false positives and gave me a muscle relaxant for stress. My mother-in-law helped me to experiment with thigh-top pantyhose, and that helped - I think I was allergic to the nylon in that part of my body.

Well, all that to say it is worth getting more specialized opinions and tracking down those things which are bothering you. And I finally was able to wean off my meds the right way, with medical inspiration and supervision, but also with my then future mother-in-law praying for me - so I'll pray for you, too.
