Occipital lobe seizures

My complex partial epilepsy is in the occipital region. I have had epilepsy since childhood. The above description is fairly accurate. The best way I can explain what I see/experience during a siezure is:

A feeling of lightheadedness precedes the siezure (also known as an aura, where you feel the siezure coming on).

Vision becomes impaired, I see flashing lights for example, or the footpath seems 'wonky', or the kerb looks deeper than it is, which is disorientating. It's strange, knowing your environment for what it is, but not being able to see it. I tend to move my head and blink frequently (to the right) to try to adjust my field of vision). If I am exercising or riding a bicycle, walking quickly I am more likely to have a siezure, compared to being stationary.

Bright flashing lights such as special effects in movies and games can trigger siezures.
I tend not to use the word 'siezure' when discussing them. "Blur" is more suitable to the experience. If someone says 'are you alright' while having a siezure, I absently reply "I'm having a blur."

I can be led to sit down, but need some air or physical space around me and don't like being touched during a blur, especially if I don't know or trust a person.
Generally, after an hour or so, I might ask "did I have a blur" as though it was a distant memory, or not remember at all. After a blur, I tend to be easily irritated.

I have been advised that as the scar is in the occipital region, surgery is not an option as it would take my vision as well.
I have lived with epilepsy for 35years and am used to the blurs, the medication, certain lifestyle limitations such as not driving. I accept it as part of who I am, and feel that I am fortunate to have good doctors, reliable medications (through trial and error). and a manageable condition.
