@yugt100 you are a 100% fcuking dick!!!!!!!! and that was ment to be spent wrongly ya fcuking arse!!!!!!!! i hope you have someone in your family who has a seziour see how funny it is then ya fcuking dick
but this helped me understand myself a little bit better. I'm sorry that your seizures haven't come to a complete end, but I'm hoping they're better than they were before. I'm prayin' that mine'll come to an end someday too. And I'm glad that you're that close to your roommate. He'll be one of the few who can pull you through when you're going through some of the tougher moments that life throws at you.
(Part one) I'm extremely grateful that you posted this. Not only because it helps educate others about seizures, but it educates ME too. I have seizures, but I've never seen myself have one. I've never had the chance to record one of my seizures. but whenever I wake up from one, if I'm around people, they're always freaking out or crying. So obviously, I put on quite a show when I seize, haha! But this sort of helped me understand what I look like during a seizure. I mean, we're all different,
Thank you for posting this. I've had seizures since 2007. Nobody can figure out why. The brain is a baffling mystery! But it is hard to live with epilepsy regardless of what kind it is. I've never seen one of mine. I've been told they last up to 7-8 min. I came on here looking to see if I could get an idea of what mine may look like just out of curiosity. So again thank you for posting this.
I only ever have them when I'm sleeping. They're grand mal, so they get pretty serious. The doctors say that its because, during the REM cycle, your brain is most active. I'm an extremely light sleeper, so I'm conscious during most of them. I don't like to have them, but when I'm experiencing them, its like a complete euphoria. It makes me use practically all the muscles in my body, so its like a really dangerous workout. Needless to say, you're completely drained for the next few days.
I had one epileptic accident, I was awake whole night,not drinking a playing PC, at the night I decided tah doing LSD would be good idea, results showed me otherwise. The took me to hospital, asked some shit, gave me papers and told me to come some other day. Never went there, after 10 years, I had a headache. I went to doc, told him I had epileptic accident, and he let me sign papers that I wont drive cars and possibly ruined my life.
@HybOj I should shut the fuck up :( the doc just wants to PROTECT HIMSELF, fucking sucker, thats why he destroyed my life without a blink of eye, because im 10 years ok, and that attack was caused by myself, shit :X
I am 27 and I didn't start having seizures til I was 21. Rare my doctor says and I have partial and grand mask seizures. Thank you fire showing this. I appreciate education and for people to be able to se what happens. I have lost friends and had people be afraid to go places with me because if my seizures. So its nice to see that you are very brave and thank you once again.
@lbatalla a common fallacy...no you cannot choke on your tongue but best position is lying on left side which is most important during a Tonic Clonic seizure.
@lbatalla I've never had anyone roll me over during a seizure, and I've been alright. The only REALLY big risk of someone being on their back during a seizure, is if they become incontinent. Because then they run a pretty high risk of throwing up, and if they're lying on their back... Well, you see where I'm going with this. I've come pretty close to choking in a situation like that before. It's not fun. :S
@lifehatesmespll9 Oh well my bad. It's just i've been told couple times that it is true. Believe me I feel your pain. Hate going through every day thinking will i have a seziure this second or the next
@lbatalla Haha nah it's cool, no need to apologize. I know what you mean. It IS possible for someone to choke on their tongue if they're on their back. Just rare. But I know how you feel too. It's so friggin' embarrassing to have to like, plan your day, according to whether or not you might have a seizure. I had one in school last week, and they called a code blue and an ambulance and the whole shebang. Everyone got all dramatic about it. Makes me wanna blend in with the shadows sometimes. :P
@lifehatesmespll9 lol wow. What grade are you in? And that's something I'm always worried about. I rather have it alone obvi cuz i don't wanna go the next day with people staring up me thinking "hey that's that seziure kid" Sometimes ppl can handle it, some just are too immature about it.
@lbatalla Haha I'm a Senior. (Thank God xD) But I definitely feel ya. Some people, even if they aren't sure how to handle it, they're at least mature about it. But others are just plain childish. Like, last week, a few days after I had that seizure in school, there was a rumor going around that some kid had seen me shooting up in the hallway, and that's what caused the seizure. I'm like, "Whoa, I wasn't even conscious!" Haha people are just dumb sometimes. :P Do you have 'em often?
@lifehatesmespll9 lol. That's crazy. Your the shooter of the school =p. Well too be honest I havent had one in about 7 months. My main problem i think is that i need to take these pills called lamictal. Seizures usually last about 3 minutes. How long does your last?
@lbatalla Hahaha yeah, pretty much. Everyone thinks I'm a druggie now. :P But that's awesome that you haven't had one in so long. And wait, you need to take the Lamictal to STOP the seizures? Or are the pills the cause of the seizures? And damn, that's a long time. Mine normally last for about two minutes. If they last any longer, whoever's around me normally calls 911, which annoys the hell outta me. -_-
@lifehatesmespll9 Thanks. The pills don't 100% stop the seziures but they help slow down the proccess of one coming. Yea before when my sister got freaked out and she calls 911, gets me really pissed off cuz my doc told me i don't need to go to the hospital just need some sleep.
@Niceboy3377 Well the first thing I notice at least was I felt sick and wanted to puke and than my head started to spin like crazy, so I would sit down and try to calm myself, and than one side of my body would completely collapse... and I would have one and maybe I wouldn't, just luck I guess.
you cannot choke on your tongue. That is a false rumor and physically impossible for an epileptic to do so. I am an epileptic myself. I am 22 yrs old and have had mini and grand mal seizures since I was 17. Altogether I have had about 6 grand mals as far as I know, and have asked my wife to video tape it the next time it happens. It is about educating ourselves.
Its not gonna be the same type of effect with every person, I have sezures also and they are a little like what u describe as urs, my sezures are gran-mal and this guys sezures like this type also but even tho they are the same type does not mean they will have the same effect.
I had a seizure in college, and my scumbag roommate thought that I had just passed out in the morning from drinking. He heard a thud, came upstairs and walked me to a couch where I slept until mid afternoon. I was kicked out of school as I had missed a class that morning, amassing to the maximum 3 absences in a class. They had no record that I was deemed epileptic. Funny; neither did I. I didn't have enough seizures at the time to convince my neurologist that I was epileptic. Good friend.
I'm sorry about your seizures. I myself am 15 and have them all the time. I have a question though what's a VNS stimulator?? I saw it in your video description.
@MrJamesey1000 when a person has a seizure you are supposed to let them go, it's the after affects that can be harmful, not the seizure itself. The only thing that can happen is you could do damage to your toung, fall, or hit objects around you. She/he did nothing wrong.
@MrJamesey1000 Help them how? No one can stop a seizure once it starts. Its actually a good thing to film it, so people can see what one looks like. That way they will know one when they see one.
I just wanted to take this time to say thank you for posting this video of yourself so people could actually see what a seizure looks like. I've had to save my fellow volunteer a few times while she was having a seizure. To be honest it was scary to see her go through this. To bad those seizures of yours though were gone forever instead of at the most 2 1/2 years.
I couldnt help but cry when i saw this im sorry that you have to suffer I know how draining they can be I've witnessed my cousin have them for years its absolutely horrible i just pray that one day someone figures out how to reboot the brain and stop them
@egyptsangel04 Thats kind of an awful thing to say, even though Im sure you mean it in a nice way. An epileptic can have a perfectly wonderful life. Seizures can be handled with meds to a very big extent, there is absolutely no need to cry over this young mans life.
I have just spent the last hour or so watching and reading comments. I saw my first and only seizure while I was in the 1st grade. It was a class mate. It terrified me. Thats all I remember,not sure how it was handled in reference to those that witnessed it. I think it is so wonderful that you have been able to witness your own. And to have a roommate with whom you have so much trust. Kudos to him. There will always be ignorant folks. Keep positive, and caring folks close to heart.Thanks.
for me it's a relief to find your video from your seizure.
For the first time I see that the seizures my boyfriend is suffering from are "common''.
Thank you for sharing and I hope you are well. I can see this video is from 2007, do you have find the right medication? My boyfriend is 52 years old, taking his medicins but still having absences, and looking for the solution...greets, Femke
It was relly interesting to watch this video! I have never seen an actual seizure in real life, only the ones in movies, and I'm sure that there's a wide variaty of characteristics in a seizure.
I think it's really great that you, and other people, have posted vids while the seizures are in progress so that people can see how they manifest themselves and perhaps not panic if they should be in a seizure-situation with someone.
@gbapetie I am an epileptic and I would be happy to post a video of me having a seizure on youtube, simply so that non-epileptics can see what a horrible experience it is.
@gbapetie Why not? What is so wrong with this? This is for peoples educations.
In fact, as an epileptologist, I ask all my patients to see if friends/family members can record a seizure as it happens. Helps with localization and figuring out which meds would work best (in addition to EEG/MRI results).
I just dont see where the offense is. Especially if this patient has partial seizures (i.e. partial seizure do not effect consciousness).
I'm epileptic and it would be easy to say it was all fake, but if you stay ignorant and deny what is happening you are only putting your own life at risk. There are dozens of different types of seizures and everyone's brain is unique, so keep in mind that if you see someones having anything that might remotely seem like a seizure, you can be the difference of life and death for them. Don't take that responsibility lightly. About 200,000 new cases of seizures & epilepsy occur each year.
I haven't had a seizure in a few weeks now mine are really rare I used to just black out but recently of become sort of partially aware of whats happening my thoughts go all fuzzy and sound goes all weird and makes it worse it seems like theres an auror around and thing look like they have a dark filter over them and it wares off i feel really tired after it
I feel like I'm having a deja vu when I have my partial seizures. It's like the state of being asleep before your REM cycle that you can still hear people around you & you basically see everything as an outlined blur. It's usually that my eyes unfocus and they glaze over and my mouth is open for a while. I get tired after wards and drink water & make sure to have someone around me making sure i'm fine. everyone's seizures are different because everyone's brains are so different.
@AngelicaLeandra so would you say from the sound of what i said it epilepsy cos im afraid drs wont take me seriously if i tell them my symptoms because i dont trust drs
@ahdeath2007 Even if you dont trust doctors, it's more important to get a proper diagnosis rather than putting yourself in danger every time you drive a car or swim in a pool or even take a bath. Just check it out and explain how you feel and tell your doctor what you think it could be. It's better to be safe than sorry. Over 200,000 new cases of epilepsy or seizure disorders are diagnosed every year in the US.
This is usually the after affects of seizures. My friend has atleast 1 seizure a month and ive seen 2 happen. It usually worse and then they slowly calm down and come back. You should get him to film you again and show you the early stages-if he has a cam ready!
I can tell from some recent posts we have more than enough ignorance with the "demon possession" card... sigh... Seizures aren't some manifestation of the devil; the meds, which the side affects may seem like, are not tools of the devil. People, Nov is epilepsy awareness month, please use that time to educate yourselves if you're unsure about what this is, please?? Those of us with E don't bite. I can only speak for myself, but I've always been willing to answer questions. cheers!
I have seizures and I do know one thing-mine last nearly three times as long as this entire video. The thing that happens with his left arm is similar to what happens with my right arm, but then my right arm starts going into an unnatural position over my head and back, such that I have to restrain it with my left hand (my left side is unaffected, I have a tumor in the right motor cortex) to keep my shoulder from dislocating!
I got them like these too, i don't remember having them, but my parents say that I do. after it I've had a lot of headaches lately. They don't happen, atleast of my knowledge and my parents aren't there. It's a strange, terrible and scary situation
God Damn dude I can't even imagine how scary that must be, at least with a full seizure theres a good chance you don't know what happened. I wish you the best bro
aw man, i know how you feel they SUCK the thing i hate most is biting down on my tongue my story is slimier to yours i had one seizure when i was 5 and my senior year of high school they started to come back...(i blame it on stress and puberty haha) but the docs still dont know whats causing it, i was in class when i had it i woke up in the ambulance idk how long i was knock out for, so i had like three in HS two in the same class which was extremely embarrassing and a couple more
yes for me the feeling i hav when i first come out of it and the bite'ng of my tongue are the worst. i love food and cooking when food equals pain its very depressing,
@springginkerl Very nice job with the English thing though :). Haha you call it hardcore muscle training? Lol mine gets so hardcore I dislocate both shoulders! Hows that for training lol
@springginkerl Lol that sucks for him. But yeah I mean I'm okay, I've had to do physical therapy for over 6 months to get them stronger. It was that long only because I have dislocated my right shoulder 5 times and my left shoulder 2 times. My doctor wants me to have surgery because they'll never be very strong until I have surgery but she needs to wait until I have my seizures under control for over a year. Sucks :/ but I still go on living.
@THEIAMWILL No reason to be embarrassed for it. I've had a seizure during my band class before. At first I was embarrassed but then I realized there was nothing I could've done to change what happened. It sucks :/. I use Dilantyn idk if thats what you use but it is the oldest seizure medication and they do make generic forms of it as well idk that name.
@soccr360 yeah 24 now, but I have learned to deal with it. Not to many side effects anymore. I am only on two different drugs now but I am still having about 4 seizures a week (a lot less than it used to be). The hardest things now are adjusting to being in the work place. How to get to work without a car? Explaining to colleagues. Keeping bosses from thinking my potential is limited ect. I am sorry about your side effects, they can be very hard to deal with. Good luck
@JJR234 There is nothing you can do to help. If you ever see someone have a seizure, get anything away from them that they can hurt themselves with.. like a pencil, anything sharp or heavy. The best thing you can do is leave them alone, if they are on the floor, clear away anything they can hit their head on. Support after the seizure is the only thing you can help with.
I had four or five seizures over the span of a year, some time ago, and never before or since, but mine were apparently very violent and I always got cramped up in my limbs afterwards. I remembering feeling funny before one, and loud noises happened before each one, but through all the tests, we never found out exactly what caused them...:P
That funny feeling that you had before is an aura (good thing to have if you have epilepsy) I have an aura before every seizure.... kinda feels like reverse deja vu along with a cold feeling in my stomach. When ever I feel this get down on the ground as fast as I can.
Well if I ever get that funny feeling again I'm going down straight away. I only felt that on the last one I had, so I never really got much use out of it.
My mum suffers with epilepsy. Only when i was very young do i remember her having a fit. She was on the floor, kinda shaking as if she was being electrocuted. I didn't understand at the time, but i told my dad that 'mummy's sleeping on the kitchen floor'. She'd stopped fitting when my dad got there but she was ok thankfully. I know it's not a nice thing to go through, She takes tablets for her epilepsy and hasn't had a fit now for 11+ years :)
There are many forms of epileptic seizures (low-, intermediate-, heavy- epileptic seizures, west-syndrom,...). The factors that release such a seizure can be genetic disposition, aquired brain damages (basalganlion-regions, esxtra-cortico-spinal-tracts,...), active and passive influence factors.
photographer5000- dude, you pretty much have the same attitude as me. My best friend calls it 'spastic dancing' when i have one haha! I've never seen what it looks before though...
Its like a thunder storm in your head, when i come back round i feel like i've run a fucking marathon- when all i've actually done is like accidentally punched myself or my friend in the face and bit my tongue hard. lol.
Thank you for sharing this. You look as if you are concentrating on a task that no one else knows about -- I guess that is right, given that your brain is resetting itself. Thanks again.
your roommate filmed you???!! That's humane love for you right there. My roommate and I dislike each other and her boyfriend likes to use our bathroom and acts slightly perverted. :|
Do you have any memory of this? Cuz I get different types of seizures, most I don't remember, but I swear I remember on several occasions being in a similar state you're in here.
Thank you Photographer5000 for putting this video up... it has given so many people the opportunity to see that there are many different types of seizures. To encourage people to learn from this video, as I think you intended, lets try not to eliminate every conflicting view from the wall
My wife has epilepsy and her partial seizures look just like this. She has never seen one either. Her's usually occur at night in her sleep or shortly after she wakes up.
There are MANY types of seizures. Visit the Epilepsy Foundation website to find out the different types of seizures. Some can just look like a person is daydreaming. They don't have to be convulsive.
grimemasterboot, you're the one who is wrong. The seizure isn't fake at all. It is a very typical complex partial seizure. Seizures have so many faces that everybody ought to think twice before they call a seizure fake. Outside, amongst others, neglecting this person b/c of assuming the seizure is fake it could mean that the health of the person was endangered. And that's what often happen to people with seizures. So please educate yourself - everybody. You might be the one that saved a life.
@PersimmonOXmeds will destroy your body. It's simply "Jinn possession". Spirits/Devils taking control and toying around in Human beings. In the Quran it mentions about Jinns. Surah Al-Jinn. They are unseen as well as the Angels. But they will be seen on the Day of Judgement. The only cure for this issue is Religion. The belief in one God and the messengers. If you believe in Trinity then your out of luck. I have a good book that explains everything religiously about epilepsy,"
@TruthIsproof07 Well, I can only speak for myself, but meds helped me until I finally found out that my seizures wasn't caused by anything unexplainable but was a mere food intolerance that poisoned my body. Accordingly, there is food that is toxic to me. However, we can agree on one thing, that meds are toxic. But AEDs extremely rarely kill people. In fact, if it weren't for the meds I would probably have been killed by a seizure before my food became my medicine and kept the seizures away.
@PersimmonOX Sometimes neggative things happen for a good reason. Though complications of the body comes from the Jinn by God's will. Perhaps, God wants you to educate youself about him.
@TruthIsproof07 Give me a break as well. That is a whole bunch of bullshit. I believe in possession but if you are telling me that epilepsy is caused by demons/spirits possession then your grip on reality is slipping. Epilepsy is almost always cured by medication. If medication never worked then I would be a little skeptical but they do. Maybe you should do a little research before posting a bunch of made up shit.
Grime,I have epilepsy too..But you have to understand not everyones seizures are the same, they can differ in many ways, in the same way that they can be caused by different things.. I have my seizures when i overheat.
I don't remember who had told me but I was told when someone is having a seizure you put a spoon in their mouth (sounds reallllyyyy smart I know ): ) to hold down their tongue because they could possibly bite their tongue or swallow it. Do you have any idea what this person was talking about?
BTW I've never seen someone have any kind of seizure and curiosity got me, so it's great you put this video up. Thanks!
GothicLollipopLuxury, forget all about what this person has told you. To put items into the mouth that don't belong there during a seiz. can be more harmful than the seizure itself. It is not possible to swallow the tongue. It is able to fall back AFTER the s. if an unconscious person is lying on his back - that's why correct first aid outside a hospital is to put the person on the side (recovery position). This allows both blood, vomit or saliva a way out (otherwise it can go down the airways).
Well, im glad your asking questions and are curious, actually nothing should ever be put into a persons mouth during a seizure, it can cause the person to break teeth or feel like there choking, also it is a myth you cannot swallow your tounge during a seizure, the person who told you that was wrong but it;s good you asked. Hope I helped
I am 22 years old and I have a 4 year old son, I have lived with epilepsy for around 4 years, I kind of grew into it o.O. Thankyou so much for posting this, I can imagine how scary it is for my son now seeing this especially when we are alone. .. I actually just wanted to say thankyou and that you are very brave.
thank you so much for things like this. i work with special needs children with no verbal behaviour, and its so difficult to know what to give them or do with them after a seizure.
it's very rare to be "wake" during a seizure...i studied al lot about epilepsy and you are the first case of consciosness during seizure...did you feel pain?
If you have studied a lot about epilepsy then you will see that he is having the classic symptoms of a partial complex seizure. While he may look awake he is not conscious. He does not feel pain or know what is happening.
This is fascinating! My seizures are fairly similar to yours, I have always wanted to see what I look like. I want someone to film me too now!
Yes, it's a serious issue etc etc but when you live with it you have to have a level of humour to help accept it's there.

@lbatalla Hahaha yeah, pretty much. Everyone thinks I'm a druggie now. :P But that's awesome that you haven't had one in so long. And wait, you need to take the Lamictal to STOP the seizures? Or are the pills the cause of the seizures? And damn, that's a long time. Mine normally last for about two minutes. If they last any longer, whoever's around me normally calls 911, which annoys the hell outta me. -_-

@lifehatesmespll9 Thanks. The pills don't 100% stop the seziures but they help slow down the proccess of one coming. Yea before when my sister got freaked out and she calls 911, gets me really pissed off cuz my doc told me i don't need to go to the hospital just need some sleep.

you cannot choke on your tongue. That is a false rumor and physically impossible for an epileptic to do so. I am an epileptic myself. I am 22 yrs old and have had mini and grand mal seizures since I was 17. Altogether I have had about 6 grand mals as far as I know, and have asked my wife to video tape it the next time it happens. It is about educating ourselves.

I had a seizure in college, and my scumbag roommate thought that I had just passed out in the morning from drinking. He heard a thud, came upstairs and walked me to a couch where I slept until mid afternoon. I was kicked out of school as I had missed a class that morning, amassing to the maximum 3 absences in a class. They had no record that I was deemed epileptic. Funny; neither did I. I didn't have enough seizures at the time to convince my neurologist that I was epileptic. Good friend.

@MrJamesey1000 when a person has a seizure you are supposed to let them go, it's the after affects that can be harmful, not the seizure itself. The only thing that can happen is you could do damage to your toung, fall, or hit objects around you. She/he did nothing wrong.

I just wanted to take this time to say thank you for posting this video of yourself so people could actually see what a seizure looks like. I've had to save my fellow volunteer a few times while she was having a seizure. To be honest it was scary to see her go through this. To bad those seizures of yours though were gone forever instead of at the most 2 1/2 years.

Thats all I remember,not sure how it was handled in reference to those that witnessed it. I think it is so wonderful that you have been able to witness your own. And to have a roommate with whom you have so much trust. Kudos to him. There will always be ignorant folks. Keep positive, and caring folks close to heart.Thanks.

Hi Eric!
It was relly interesting to watch this video! I have never seen an actual seizure in real life, only the ones in movies, and I'm sure that there's a wide variaty of characteristics in a seizure.
I think it's really great that you, and other people, have posted vids while the seizures are in progress so that people can see how they manifest themselves and perhaps not panic if they should be in a seizure-situation with someone.
Best of luck with everything to you!

OhhGlam18 1 year ago
@gbapetie Why not? What is so wrong with this? This is for peoples educations.
In fact, as an epileptologist, I ask all my patients to see if friends/family members can record a seizure as it happens. Helps with localization and figuring out which meds would work best (in addition to EEG/MRI results).
I just dont see where the offense is. Especially if this patient has partial seizures (i.e. partial seizure do not effect consciousness).
mehamo 10 months ago
I'm epileptic and it would be easy to say it was all fake, but if you stay ignorant and deny what is happening you are only putting your own life at risk. There are dozens of different types of seizures and everyone's brain is unique, so keep in mind that if you see someones having anything that might remotely seem like a seizure, you can be the difference of life and death for them. Don't take that responsibility lightly. About 200,000 new cases of seizures & epilepsy occur each year.

@ahdeath2007
I feel like I'm having a deja vu when I have my partial seizures. It's like the state of being asleep before your REM cycle that you can still hear people around you & you basically see everything as an outlined blur. It's usually that my eyes unfocus and they glaze over and my mouth is open for a while. I get tired after wards and drink water & make sure to have someone around me making sure i'm fine. everyone's seizures are different because everyone's brains are so different.

ahdeath2007 1 year ago
@ahdeath2007 Even if you dont trust doctors, it's more important to get a proper diagnosis rather than putting yourself in danger every time you drive a car or swim in a pool or even take a bath. Just check it out and explain how you feel and tell your doctor what you think it could be. It's better to be safe than sorry. Over 200,000 new cases of epilepsy or seizure disorders are diagnosed every year in the US.

@springginkerl Lol that sucks for him. But yeah I mean I'm okay, I've had to do physical therapy for over 6 months to get them stronger. It was that long only because I have dislocated my right shoulder 5 times and my left shoulder 2 times. My doctor wants me to have surgery because they'll never be very strong until I have surgery but she needs to wait until I have my seizures under control for over a year. Sucks :/ but I still go on living.

@JJR234 There is nothing you can do to help. If you ever see someone have a seizure, get anything away from them that they can hurt themselves with.. like a pencil, anything sharp or heavy. The best thing you can do is leave them alone, if they are on the floor, clear away anything they can hit their head on. Support after the seizure is the only thing you can help with.

I know it's not a nice thing to go through, She takes tablets for her epilepsy and hasn't had a fit now for 11+ years :)

There are many forms of epileptic seizures (low-, intermediate-, heavy- epileptic seizures, west-syndrom,...). The factors that release such a seizure can be genetic disposition, aquired brain damages (basalganlion-regions, esxtra-cortico-spinal-tracts,...), active and passive influence factors.

grimemasterboot, you're the one who is wrong. The seizure isn't fake at all. It is a very typical complex partial seizure. Seizures have so many faces that everybody ought to think twice before they call a seizure fake. Outside, amongst others, neglecting this person b/c of assuming the seizure is fake it could mean that the health of the person was endangered. And that's what often happen to people with seizures. So please educate yourself - everybody. You might be the one that saved a life.

@PersimmonOXmeds will destroy your body. It's simply "Jinn possession". Spirits/Devils taking control and toying around in Human beings. In the Quran it mentions about Jinns. Surah Al-Jinn. They are unseen as well as the Angels. But they will be seen on the Day of Judgement. The only cure for this issue is Religion. The belief in one God and the messengers. If you believe in Trinity then your out of luck. I have a good book that explains everything religiously about epilepsy,"
TruthIsproof07 1 year ago
@TruthIsproof07 Well, I can only speak for myself, but meds helped me until I finally found out that my seizures wasn't caused by anything unexplainable but was a mere food intolerance that poisoned my body. Accordingly, there is food that is toxic to me. However, we can agree on one thing, that meds are toxic. But AEDs extremely rarely kill people. In fact, if it weren't for the meds I would probably have been killed by a seizure before my food became my medicine and kept the seizures away.

If medication never worked then I would be a little skeptical but they do. Maybe you should do a little research before posting a bunch of made up shit.

I don't remember who had told me but I was told when someone is having a seizure you put a spoon in their mouth (sounds reallllyyyy smart I know ): ) to hold down their tongue because they could possibly bite their tongue or swallow it. Do you have any idea what this person was talking about?
BTW I've never seen someone have any kind of seizure and curiosity got me, so it's great you put this video up. Thanks!
also...he's cute... <3
GothicLollipopLuxury 2 years ago
GothicLollipopLuxury, forget all about what this person has told you. To put items into the mouth that don't belong there during a seiz. can be more harmful than the seizure itself. It is not possible to swallow the tongue. It is able to fall back AFTER the s. if an unconscious person is lying on his back - that's why correct first aid outside a hospital is to put the person on the side (recovery position). This allows both blood, vomit or saliva a way out (otherwise it can go down the airways).
PersimmonOX 2 years ago 5
Okay thank you!
GothicLollipopLuxury 2 years ago
Well, im glad your asking questions and are curious, actually nothing should ever be put into a persons mouth during a seizure, it can cause the person to break teeth or feel like there choking, also it is a myth you cannot swallow your tounge during a seizure, the person who told you that was wrong but it;s good you asked. Hope I helped
