Anyone on this board have Frontal Lobe Epilepsy

I was diagnosed years ago with Complex Partial Seizure and have had Epilepsy in some form or another since 1975. I started having the symptoms of Frontal Lobe Siezures about 6 months after my first accident.  I was struck over the head with an Inch thick beer mug with enough pressure to give me a small skull fracture and 3 inch laceration cut on top of my head in Germany.  Six months later I started having siezures.  I kept on having siezures for the next ten years but, the doctors were calling it Generalized Anxiety Disorder only.  Then in 1985, I saw a neurologist at the Western Neurology Group. The tests revealed that I had Complex Partial Siezures and not Anxiety as preiviously stated by other General Family Doctors.
Last year the Neurologist that examined me said that it was now further tested as Frontal Lobe Epilepsy since my time in Germany that I suffered from.  Frontal Lobe Epilepsy is a recent find for some people whom have had accidents involving accidents and brain injury to the Frontal Lobe Part of the Brain area.  It is one of the hard Epilepsy to diagnose because it looks and resymbols other form of Epilepsy.  It effects your reading, writing, and other forms of emotions.  You can have a Complex Partial Siezure today and next week you can have a Grand Mal Siezure the next week after that.  Complex Partial Siezures and Grand Mal Siezures can both occurr in individuals whom suffer from Frontal Lobe Epilepsy.

My questions here is how many of you on this board have Frontal Lobe Epilepsy or have been injured through head injuries in the Frontal Lobe Part of the Brain?

My diagnosis is idiopathic epeilepsy.  I did have injury to my frontal lobe app. 4 years prior to starting seizures.  Good chance I have frontal lobe epilepsy.  I have complex partial, primary and tonic/clonic secondary.
My head injury was due to a pogo stick accident on a terrazo floor. My head (and I) came crashing down frontal lobe first.  My parents told me their was a half a grapefruit on my head.  Many years later I looked at the x rays and it was found a hairline fracture above the right eyebrow.  I have had many seizures of different kinds in the last 29 years.  My highest amount of seizures was app. 17 seizures a day to at present 0-1 a month.  This is a span of 29 years.  Female with all the hormone junk to go through as well.  Possible catamenial epilepsy as most seizures occur around menstrual cycle.
