Miss Lane, I urge you to ASAP get a primary care physician and a referral to a neurologist (I don't know why the ER did not) and get EEGS done and do trials of pharmaceutical anti-seizure meds.

To have seizures every ten minutes is close to "status epilepticus" or perpetual chronic seizure, the most severe form of epilepsy, if I am not mistaken. I presume you are petit mal or else your life might well have ended by now without treatment.

I did some checking on 'status epilepticus' at Wikipedia. I hope you find the following helpful.

Quote:
Status epilepticus (SE) refers to a life threatening condition in which the brain is in a state of persistent seizure. Definitions vary, but traditionally it is defined as one continuous seizure or recurrent seizures without regaining consciousness between seizures for greater than 30 minutes. Many doctors, however, believe that 5 minutes is sufficient to damage neurons and that seizures are unlikely to self-terminate by that time.

In known epileptics, this condition is associated with poor compliance (adherence to medication regimen), alcohol withdrawal, and metabolic disturbances. As a primary presentation it normally indicates a tumour or abscess.

It can also be induced by nerve agents such as soman.[1]

Epilepsia partialis continua is a rare type of brain disorder in which a patient experiences recurrent motor epileptic seizures that are focal (hands and face), and recur every few seconds or minutes for extended periods (days or years).

[edit] Presentation

During these seizures, there is repetitive focal myoclonus or Jacksonian march. After a seizure has subsided, Todd's phenomenon may be observed, which includes transient unilateral weakness.

Quote:
Complex Partial Status Epilepticus (CPSE) is one of the non-convulsive forms of Status epilepticus, a rare form of epilepsy defined by its recurrent nature. CPSE is characterized by seizures involving long-lasting stupor, staring and unresponsiveness.[1] Sometimes this is accompanied by motor automatisms, such as eye twitching.[2]
