Hi
I understand your concern.
I had gone through your query.
Usually absence seizure has good prognosis and it will decrease as age progress.
If you will stick on treatment properly and absence seizure usually require 3 years of seizure free interval after taking medicines.
I hope you will do it and it will get up to almost totally absent for a lifetime.
Still have a query then feel free to ask.
Happy to help you.
Thank you.
Take care.
