Im not sure yet if i have epilepsy, but i have been having spells
where i shake and stuff. i had one that lasted 45 minutes last
week. i feel really weak afterwards and my joints ache sometimes two
days afterwards. but a friend said that it could be lyme disease
too. im confused. i just want to know what is wrong with me.
however, since i have been taking lamictal i have felt better. i
havent been shaky or anything like that. i felt bad the first few
days that i was on it. lethargic and very quiet(which is not like me
at all). im usually very outspoken. after a spell, i get very quiet
though, but i havent had one now in a week, which is good news.


but im wondering can a 35 year old female just wake up one day and
have epilepsy??? its not genetic; nobody in my family had it that i
know of.

thanks
