I am 60 Year old female in the USA and have just
recently been diagnosed with Epilepsy. I have so many
unanswered question, such as why most of my episodes
seem to come in the night time when I am sleeping. Is
this because until recently when I had a seizure at
work and lost conciseness and had to be taken to the
hospital and was referred to a Neurologist who made
the diagnosis, I was unaware that it was happening in
the daytime also and played it off as just some kind
of spell. Is this normal?

I appreciate a place to ask my questions.
