  • I also want to say thank you. I'm a nursing student, and being able to actually see what we are reading about makes things easier to understand.

  • Poor little girl. She appears to be struggling too

  • Thank you so much for posting this video. As a medical student it's great to be able to see examples of the conditions we read about- like they say, a picture paints a thousand words, and a video like this is even better. Really glad to hear your daughter is doing so well!

  • I'm 14 and currently on deakote and it hasn't worked at all for me. I've been taking it for 3 years now.

  • I have this exact form of epilepsy. Completely controlled by depakote.

  • I have these I have what they call the orical too it's were I can feel the seizure come on before full effect

  • My son has these. he was just diagnosed with absence seizures. It took me years for a doctor to do something. they just kept saying we will keep and eye on it. I showed my son this video because he had no idea what was going on. thanks for posting this

  • Poor kid. Best wishes to her and her family. Thankfully, she seems to be in good care.

  • Oh, My, God! That's what happens to me...

  • My sister passed away years ago but she was an epileptic. I'm now too having seizures. Partial seizures. I think they started a couple of years ago. Not sure. This is a good video though. It shows what absence seizures are like. My sister had what they called at the time grand mal seizures and petit mal seizures.

  • Thank you for posting this. As a preschol teacher I needed to see an absence seizure so I would know if this is what was happening in my classroom. Thank you so much for allowing others to see this. I can't even tell you how important this was.

  • My daughter does this as well.. When she has a lot of absence seizures its normally a sign shes about to go into a full out grand mal seizure. Thanks for posting this. When she was doing this i was so confused as to what she was doing and what it was. With videos like this we were able to call attention to her dr and be properly treated.

  • She is a cute girl, hope she is better

  • I am 14 and I have it, the medication makes me sicker then the flu but it keeps it under control.

  • I am 14 and I have it, the medication make me sicker then the flu but it keeps it ubder control.

  • Id bet she cant swallow pills abd so u cab get it in liquid form. You have to go back every once in a while to see if you are getting better

  • I am 12 and i have it. It doesnt hurt or anything to have an EEG it may be a lil uncomfortable if they put the towel right under their neck like they did to me they just flash light and the test takes about 30 to 45 minutes

  • i would just like to say that i have done a lot of resurce and watched a few vedeos on children having seizures and would just like to say thank you for posting this as it has help me, i have a 4 year old she has only just turned for and has been having them a few months but getting more reqular. but this is all new to me any information anyone can give me would be fantastic, I wish your daughter all the best for the future she's a darling

  • Shes Gone

  • @PrettyGirl8989 go to your family neurologist and have it checked it could be a absent seizure it sounds like what i have it still shows up on eegs tho

  • @PrettyGirl8989 deffinatly i have these kind of seizures and i have to keep taking eeg's till they come back normal so i can get my drivers license

  • I'm studying this seizure right now for my pediatry exam... Thanks, this video helped me a lot!

  • I have this too. im 23 y old.

  • @KellotSuuhun Hey wenever ur having 1 . wat do u go trough, like r u still here or r u in lala land or is it like if ur asleep and then u wake up?

  • @BRACKMENS210 Its very difficult to explain. my english isnt that good. Its like Im in my own world, i can hear you and see you, but i dont understand what you are saying to me.. Everything feels so far and so quiet.

  • My mother tells me I used to have these when I was four. I was given some meds for a bit, and I haven't had any to this day since. I'm 19.

  • was having. Fourth, this video did help her doctor diagnose her and they actually kept a copy to show in internships because these seizures are rarely taped because they are so short. And lastly, I AM NOT SHOUTING, I am a loud person and the camera was right by my mouth, this is exactly what a physician told us to do to see if it was an absence seizure.

  • Okay I have not been on here I forever but let me clear some things up. First, my daughter is now 9 and doing fantastic, she is as close to perfect as a kid can get- seizure free for 2 years thanks to medication. Second, my daughter knows this video is on YouTube and she is fine with it. Third, the reason I posted it is because when we were researching this disease all I wanted to see was a video of someone having and absence seizure so I could compare and see if it was what my daughter was

  • @tamradewbre1978 thats nice of you to post a visual demonstration.

  • @tamradewbre1978 thank you so much for sharing! My mother just recently started having them and she's elderly..... I don't know what to do, except pray and hope that all the stupid medicines the doctors are giving her will not cause any further problems :-(

  • @tamradewbre1978 Thanks having family history of Epilepsy and having them too as a child it has been 11 years since I have seen a seizure. My husband was the last person I seen have one. My 13 yr old daughter had one and the first thing that came to mind was her having a Grand Mal, that freaked me out even more. I wanted to compare the two and your video helped me understand more of which one she had. Thanks

  • I'm a medical student and this is something I needed to see. Thank you for posting. Best of luck.

  • Akumie you suck and have no heart.

  • @akumie ur dumb..... wat if her doctor asked her to tape this ... IDIOT

  • @YungKing5 only in america are people that stupid

  • @akumie lol no im sorry ... where r u from again?

    

  • @YungKing5 Only america would someone like you ask me a question already on my profile

    Anymore fauls around the corner?

  • @akumie Your grammar is fucking horrible.

  • @theElectr0ne it happenes iI spell bad but no I speak way better english then you

  • @akumie wat the fuck makes u think imma b lookin in ur profile idiot.... n stop sayin "Only in American" bullshit im not even AMERICAN!!! god how i i hate idiots like u

  • Why would u film your daughter having a seizure...thats just fucked really...bad parenting...

  • @JamaicanFro - Maybe she did it so she would be able to actually show the doctor instead of just being able to describe it.

  • @JamaicanFro these videos are for EDUCATIONAL purposes, hence the category "Education", obviously something you know very little about. It's actually, on the contrary, wonderful parenting. She's communicating with others who have the same issues, in hopes to educate and be educated on how to better deal with the seizures.

  • I have grand mal epilepsy, I used to have Absence Seizure but they are gone now, i can say that those kind of seizures feels exactly like a deja vu och like you came to an epiphany but forget it direct after

  • hope you will get her to see a doctor cause it can change in a tonicoclonic seizure with time

  • This behaviour is deplorable. How you managed to embroil yourselves in an exchange of racist insults on a YouTube video about absence seizures is beyond me.

  • @ISSTPskater - <==this dude got a small white dick. I'm his owner

  • @ISSTPskater - This dude can't go anywhere without my leash. He was dumped by girls with his small white dick.

  • @ISSTPskater - <=This dude got a small white dick who was rejected by girls and he can't go anywhere without my leash.

  • @ISSTPskater <==this dude got a small white dick and he can't go anywhere without my leash. You all may come across the REAL ISSTPskater where he is making his rounds under MegaBustaman's commands...It's very shocking!

  • @ISSTPskater <==this dude got a small white dick and he can't go anywhere without my leash.

    You all may come across the REAL ISSTPskater where he is making his rounds under MegaBustaman's commands...It's very shocking!

  • I apologize for those leaving obviously stupid comments. God bless your daughter and thank you for helping educate those looking for answers.

  • @FDAaliyah

    There's no shortage of insensitive/ignorant/stupid and mean people on youtube.

    Some would undoubtedly make rude and mean comments at the real footage of Christ's crucification, if one was uploaded onto youtube.

    Sometimes I feel like I want to give up on human race.

  • what is a seizure?

  • @blueguy81 you dont know what a seizure is wow

  • @mspaigem1 Educate people instead of acting in shock /:

  • @MsKTMvalley ok

  • @MsKTMvalley ever one knows what a seizures is

  • @mspaigem1 No, everyone doesn't know. Teach them.

  • @MsKTMvalley

    Blame the status quo for that one.

  • Why is this on here? She looks like she was going to pass out because she wasn't breathing. She's cute, but it's kinda mean to post it.

  • I've had grand mal seizures.. and now that I see this I think I have these too cause I do this alot and don't remember conversations and stuff.

  • @maddy32406 do they hurt

  • @Niceboy3377 do the seizures hurt??? wouldn't say hurt but sore afterwards.. when i have the grand mals i am out of it for a day or 2...

  • @maddy32406 r they like painful during?

  • @Niceboy3377 no...i don't even know i'm having one as i am seizing.. some people come out of it right or shortly after while others like myself don't come out of it for a day or 2...that's when i find out that i had one..some may have some kind of warning before having one but while one is having the seizure it's like it didn't happen and when u "wake" up u r confused...

  • QUIT SHOUTING AT HER....be patient and allow her to come out of it on her own.

  • awww poor little thingggg!!! I have them too, I wish I looked that cute having one!

  • actually i think i may have had absence seizure when i was in class cuz after seconds i felt like i missed something and i can't remember it! i don't know! none of my friends noticed it otherwise they would've told me!

  • she's so cute :D!

    my doctor always asked if i've had absence seizure and i had no idea what he was talking about! now i do lol

  • I am an RN and work in an Epilepsy Monitoring Unit, bless you because I know this is not an easy thing to watch your child or loved one go through.

  • i use to have this . and then use to shake myself back..

    this no longer happens

  • thats not a seizure..thats an alien abuduction through the mind

  • what is an absence seizure??? never heard of it O.o

  • @Fishstixj4l The true name is Petit Mal which means "small seizures" or Abence seizures in this case, they send sufferers into an uncontrolled daydream state. Instead of big seizures in which you see people convulsing, they are have a small seizure in their brains. It's not fatal but it can be annoying when you suffer from them.

  • @libbybaloo do you?

  • @Fishstixj4l Yeah. I suffer from them, I used to have epilepsy when I was a baby but I grew out of the Grand Mal seizures, now all I have left of it is the Absence ones. It sometimes leaves me with a headache after I have one. I don't reallly noticed I have one until afterwards, they usually last five seconds with me. but it is annoying especially during school near the final exams, I miss out alot because of these. :/

  • @libbybaloo laaaame

  • I know how she feels. I've been having things like this for a year now but they just barely noticed it and diagnosed me today

  • My niece, 16yo, was just diagnosed as being epileptic and has these from time to time. Not as long as Jordan's for the most part though. It looks like she was trying to make her mouth work but it wouldn't.

  • This happened to my brother yesterday, i didnt think it was a seizure at all, but when the docters said that it was it made me rethink about them...its werid but its just like how the girl was we kept calling his name but nothing, until he just snaped out of it.

  • she can here you but she can t respond you becouse she is very confused and 'concentrated" at what is happening to her in that moments

  • i understand perfectly you little daughter...I tell you from my experience that she can not respond you till this second or minutes will not finish...I thing I know exactly how she is feeling in that moments..and ya...a person who has this type of seizure is really absent from everything is going on in that moment ...for this..they are called absent seizures ...you have a very beautiful and sweet daughter :*

  • i understand perfectly you little daughter...I tell you from my experience that she can not respond you till this second or minues will not finish...I thing I know exactly how she is feeling in that moments..and ya...a person who has this type of sizure is really absent from everything is going on in that moment ...for this..they are called absent sizures ...you have a verry beautifull and sweet daughter :*

  • this exactly how I m doing when I have an absent seizure.. :( unfortunately I am one of this persons who have epilepsy :(

  • She is very cute! I think my son may be having these, he seems to blank out like that but I also noticed he does odd things with his mouth and lips like it looked like your daughter was, does she do that everytime?

  • That is an absence seizure. I have them alot. You can hear whats going on around you or conversations but can't seem to speak for yourself. My mouth fills with salivia and its hard to swallow. Once I come out of that state, I am confused and may of forgotten what we were talking about. Scary but I would rather have these then the grandma seizures. They are very scary. I hate them.

  • @kunkelJess I have both too.. I didn't realize the severity of them until I looked them up on here.. ya know I just go by what my husband has said it looked like.. when I have grand mals I am out of it for a couple days..

  • @EnigmaV8 fuck you i cant believe you could be such an ignorant asshole

  • @ThatGuyWhoSaysThings I can't believe you trust everything you see on the Internet as fact without knowing anything about it. P.S. Here's a quarter; go buy some punctuation. ( $.25)

  • @EnigmaV8 actually i have 3 epileptic relatives including my mom, who have absence, grand mal, and tonic clonic seizures, and absence seizures look the exact same as this, so its safe to assume i know a good deal about seizures, you dont need to automatically assume everyone on youtube is an idiot, so you can go fuck yourself, ohh yeah an "P.S." it must suck to be such a bitter asshole

  • @ThatGuyWhoSaysThings Well then you of all people should know better. Have a nice day! :D

  • @EnigmaV8 look bro all im saying is that you shouldnt automatically look at everything as if its fake or gimmicked, you definitely shouldnt believe everything either, but just dont automatically be an asshole for no reason, not trying to be a dick

  • @ThatGuyWhoSaysThings The winner of this fight goes to... EnigmaV8 *crowd chants*

  • OMG! shes so cute!!! <3 <3 <3

  • I am writing an essay at my university with the topic of funding for epilepsy. I myself have generalized idiopathic epilepsy and gran mal seizures, and I take nightly medications. I plan to create a non-profit foundation when I am older in order to assist those suffering from seizures by funding further epilepsy research and providing support groups and private financial support. I want to donate my life to improving the lives of people suffering from seizures.

  • @gabriel22792 i have them still ocasionally , im now 14 i had one in maths miss was standing there for about 5 seconds going sian sian sian etc. until i came round

  • I'm sorry what's an absence seizure?

  • @angela1894 When you like, blank out for a few seconds.

  • awww what a cute girl, I hope she´s healthy by this time.

  • very cute

  • Im only just starting to have absense seizures now.... they started in my early 20's, they seem to be getting less intense though, i could answer my friends last time it happened, i hope she gains control over it or has some help, ppl start asking questions when it happend when youre older.... it freaks them out...

  • Does she get them regularly?

  • How did they diagnose her?

  • cute

  • Cute little girl..., Wish her all the best!, I too have the or suffer from "ABSENCE SEIZUR'S" also. it really..."Suck's" especially when you're in public and it happens, and alot of the "people" think or say?, "He' must be on DRUGS or on something else..?".

  • Oh my god, what an adorable little girl. I'm researching seizures jsut for personal knowledge, and it's so good to see the after, when everything is back to normal and they're smiling. She's such a cutie.

  • Did you have them when you were pregnant?

  • when she had these seizures does she try to catch her breath i see her holding her throt and like she cant breath

  • I had the same.... had them from 3 years till my 7th birthday (which was actually the worse id ever had, I ended up falling which had never happened before) after that I didnt have them again until i was 14 when I had then everyday for about 2 or 3 months then the just stopped again and I havent had one since. That was 5 years ago. Hope Jordan is like me and grows out of them.

  • dont get in her face, its so scary coming out of a seizure and having people in your face, especially when you cant remember them being there before hand!

  • Is there any cure for absence seizures?

  • mine were like that. I haven't had one in 6 years

    

  • she is adorable

  • I hate it when I have Absence seizures and my mother yells at me.DON`T DO IT!

  • i hav those all the time and they led up to 3 grand mal seizures and now after my last seizure i keep having constant ticks/twitches and dont know wut to do

  • @xxcutebootsscenexx You've seen a doctor, yes? Make sure you're around company as much as you can. Bless you.

  • I remember when i passed out, hearing my mom calling my name when i was coming too sounded more scarier

  • This was kinda of scary. She looked poessesed * Cant spell, poor girl. i never heard of Absence seizure until now.

  • wow... why must these Seizure effect lil kids like that...

    Godbless her with a healthy life.

  • DON'T YELL!

  • she is sooooo cute :) 

  • What a beautiful little girl, may Gos heal her!!!!

  • well i have seizures. and its because i have a small hole in the left frontal lobe of my brain, i have behavior issues in school and its because of the hole. i have atleast 2 seizures a month. im 16 and i cant drive and i cant live a normal life untill i can go 6 months with out them. but its hard when certain things can cause them for anyone who has questions about them just ask. Have a nice day :)

  • @kong983 what kind of seizures do you have?

  • oh man, i know what that's like. i have the same thing!

  • oh my goodness Godbless her!

  • what happen

  • PLEASE SUBSCRIBE!! My channel is all about this condition. x

  • Breaks my heart.

  • when ya have a seizure its hard two swallow. when ya have big seizures after it some times ya power chuck.

  • quick question. why does she seem to be swallowing something. like saliva? im curious because this happens to my niece too.

  • i had the big seizure at the age of 14 and they freaked me out. now im 20 and i have 50sec absence ones they dont freak me out. i have 4 pill when i wake up 4 when i go two bed and im doing good =)

  • what a cutie! i suffer these seizures too. can i use this clip in a video about epilepsy awareness?

  • i have absence sezures i cry over it b/c i wounder why me ? i was idagionsed with them at age 8 i am going on 17 soon. i take 7 pills in the morning along with 7 at night alot of the sideffects towards the medincen happen to me like mood changes headaches dizzyness and lots more.i will be going for an eeg in a couple mounths to find out if they have want away or not since i havent been having any. my doctors do not belive me when i say i DO relize after i have one but believe me i can. pray4me

  • How can you realize that?

    As far as I know, you lose all consciousness, so you can't form any memories of the seizure.

    How can you tell when you had (or when you're about to) a absence seizure?

    Thanks

  • @Jorfapigo i can always tell right before i have one. when andbefore i get them i get a weird sensation in my brain, and it feels like im trying to remember something from a different life, but my thoughts stop working or it turns out to be a false alarm right before i can remember and i forget the sensation. it gets irritating. its different for everyone though, and mine have been changing every couple months to every year

  • @ohxy1122 yeah it kind of feels like that for me too. Except I don't zone out like most of the examples on youtube. I actually panic big time.

  • @italiancutiepie100 Good news is that in more than 70% of all cases, absence seizures cease altogether by age eighteen.

  • @italiancutiepie100 I said a prayer for you. What happened with the EEG?

  • @IrishNickO i want to have an overnight eeg and i didnt have any so i have to go back this coming march agian too see if i dont have any agian just too make sure.and if i dont then the doctor will slowy star decreasing my medician but i have to stay on it for deffently four more years atleast even if they are gone just to be safe. thank you for your prays:)

  • @italiancutiepie100 that's not too long, it'll all be over before you know it. you're very welcome for the prayers.

  • she is so beautiful, by the way i hope she heals from this

  • what a beautiful little girl!

    my eight-year-old sister, Skylar, has absence seizures also

    may i ask what medicine Jordan [Jordyn?] is taking?

    Skylar takes Trileptal

  • Comment removed

  • My God she is so adorable she's very brave wish her the best.

  • I remember when I was dizzy and everything turned blue and fuzzy and i didn't hear anything. Was that some type of seizure?

  • That's called a gray out when the brain doesn't have enough blood flowing to it

  • people don't usually remember their seizures. so i don't think so.

  • I remember them.

  • @BubblyMagic97 I remember them as well, very clearly.

  • what is seizure?

  • I'm sorry. It looks so scary! I'm glad you picked up on it sooner rather than later...

  • Your daughter is very beautiful. I hope she is doing well! Best wishes!

  • ohh god poor girl

  • Thank You very much for sharing this video.

  • I just found out about this doing a medical transcription. Scary stuff. Feel bad for the poor girl.

    I wouldn't say god bless because he gave her such a thing if you believe in such crazy stories, but I do help she can get it under control.

  • what does it feel like?

  • It feels like nothing happened, like you're listening to someone talk and they randomly say "Can you hear me, are you ok?" My friend used to have these.

  • weird. u hear what people are saying but its like u cant remember what the words mean or like you cant concentrate cuz it feels like the person is speaking too fast...and u want to talk but for some reason you cant get the words out.

  • it's like spacing out, you just can't control it.

  • sometimes my son can speak while having this and he tells me things change color and he slurs his words and drools.

  • poor girl

  • That is a weird feeling. You are in a confused state, you can hear what is going on around you but unable to respond until it is over with. When people would talk to me while I was having one, the best way I can explain it is, the words I heard were repeated over and over in my head, while I'm trying to respond the words I'm thinking are being repeated over and over on top of what I heard... A very uncomfortable feeling. Especially when you can tell you are about to have one. I was able to. :-(

  • I have recently started doing this and i now know what is wrong with me. I feel the exact way you just explained. It is a horrible feeling
