@31, THANK YOU. Epilepsy is associated with seizures, but you can have a seizure without having epilepsy. OP - I hope you're feeling better. My dad had a seizure out of nowhere while he was sleeping this past fall, and he chewed up his tongue pretty badly and didn't get his memory totally back for a week or two.

FYL seizures are like the scariest things ever

I hate when people dont tell me what game it is..

Wait...You can recover from a seizure in few minutess? Why doesn't anyone at the epilepsy research center know that - they've told me to expect 6 months after the seizures have completely stopped for my memory and academic ability to return to what it was before, and thats only if I'm lucky enough to have them stopped. Why doesn't my brain know that you can recover from seizures in minutes- I could be working right now if I could fully recover from these seizures in minutes. I could finish college because I'd have a short term memory that lasts longer than a day, and my academic ability would be where it was before they started. More importantly, why do these neurologists, epileptologists, researchers, and fellow patients at the epilepsy research center not know that you loose conciousness from seizures. Most of us never lose conciousness when we have seizures. I've never lost conciousness from a seizure, yet I have a Vagus Nerve Stimulator to stop them. Thank you 22 for showing me that none of the neurologists, or epileptologists I've seen have had any idea of what a seizure is or how it effects people. I should rip this battery out of my chest. Clearly something else must be going on with me, and with most people with epilepsy, since complex partial seizures also typically only involve impaired conciousness (not loss of them). All these years, the doctors have been lying to us about what seizures involve, and how they effect us. Seriously, 90 percent of the patients at Rush, could easily stop taking their meds, and seeing doctors if they could recover from their seizures in minutes. In fact, most people wouldn't take seizure meds at all if they could recover from a seizure in minutes, because there would be no point in spending thousands of dollars a month to prevent "a few minutes of problems" every so often. People wouldn't qualify for disability based on having 4 seizures a week if you could recover from seizures so soon. And an EEG is the most important thing to get after having a seizure but it won't show anything about the severity of your seizure focus (which is impossible by the way is seizure focuses can't be severe - thats like saying "my pinky is more severe than your pinky") EEGs are used to determine if you have epilepsy, but they can't determine if you don't have epilepsy. And having a seizure during an EEG doesn't mean the EEG will record it - if your focus is deep, you may never find out where your seizures are originating from

Roflololol. Sucks to be you, mang. Also, tl;dr @ 47

#17 hell yes for the simpsons reference

That sux-I used to have epilepsy(I grew out of it), but I know how you feel. I never got one from playing a video game though, but I sympathyze.

oh man that sucks. I work in an ER and most of our seizure patients were sitting at a slot machine... be careful!!

Wow ur a spas

HAHAAHAAHA
