Dont listen to zxcvmook. Hes just jealous that he hasnt 1/16 of the musical talent that jaco, Zawinul, or any of the weather report boys had. Let him spout his ass off.

Have you ever bite your togue several times to the point that it bleed during your Grand Mal? I've had 5 Grand Mals over the last 10 years. However, I have Simple Partial seizure approx. 50 times a day.

[dancingxchick]

[iDrum4JesusChrist]

I had a tonic clonic seizure in Wal-Mart a couple of years ago. Thankfully, I haven't had anymore. Although I used to have absence seizures in the past, but I don't have many of those anymore.

Alexander the great of Greeks was epileptic.

this video is very nice. its very important to have frends that even wen they were with you for the first time and see u hav one they dont panic and still treat u like a human being and not think of u differently in any way. it does not effect who u are or ur personality. its an illness. and if u can be able to live with it its fine. ive had it for 7 yrs. and my streak was broken in november, unfortunatley.frneds make everything better as long as they accept u for who u are. those r true frends.

Epilepsy has been around for thousands of years. One way or another, the world knows about Epilepsy, already.

What's needed is not just plain simple awareness. What's needed is every day practical TREATMENT & SUPPORT system. After all, if the government can afford to finance Alcoholics & Narcotics Anonymous to baby sit drug & alcohol addicts, why wouldn't the government SUPPORT treating Epilepsy victims?

Shedding tears in dark shadows needs to be over.

ACTION SPEAKS LOUDER THAN WORDS.

[Deidararox1231]

Didn't u have a video, sorry about what happened hope anyone with this can vent and feel much better.

[amy788]

Great video. I have epilepsy and Apserger's syndrome from a stroke I had as an infant. I am now 27 and wish I had this video when I was in high school.

[mamie0697]

I am so grateful for this video resource.

Both my daughter and I have a seizure disorder. When my daughter's generalized

(grand mals) were not controlled, she had a very hard time when she entered High School.

I linked this resource in an email to her School Counselor and Principal and it led to an all school Epilespy Education.

Her friends and teachers no longer "freak out".

This resource made a REAL difference in our lives!

Thank you so much.

This is a great vid to show friends and co-workers. Since fracturing my skull in '69, I get constant absence and simple partials. I can always count on a generalized about once a year which really sucks. I feel awful about what my wife goes through everytime I have tonic-clonic ones...But I still consider myself the luckiest person in the world. God bless you all.

[menotyou66]

great vid!!! learned some things my doctor didn't even tell me! apparently i've had this pretty much all my life, but the symptoms just got bad enough this year (i'm 40 now). thanks again for a great vid, now to talk to that doctor! ;-)

[therealrealeuan]

i dont agree with the part abuot not being able to tell if someone has epilepsy. it is often possible to tell if you know what the signs are, even when the person is not having a seizure. if someone laughed at me about this id invite them outside then batter them

[vbjay]

So tell me how you can tell? You are a freaking idiot if you think you can look at someone and tell they have epilepsy.

[MatthewFordVictoria]

This Video is Great! I'm from canada and I've never seen it before. I got diagnosed in the 70's, and got sexually fixed as nobody knew if it could be passed on, and didn't want to wait and find out the hard way.

[youknowmexoxo]

My friend just had a seizure during school it was scary for everyone but I atleast understand it now and that she's okay

[SagitarianRicky]

I have Gran Mall seizures and have had them all my life

My youtube site is about epilepsy and how i deal with it . My motto is I have epilepsy but epilepsy doesnt have me

[LilBka]

hmm i used to have full on tonic clonic seizures when i was about 8/9 ive been off meds for years and now im 16 and think im getting it back or something.I just get absences,most are short and some times they last ages,up to an hour..i couldnt talk.i get convulsions too.i dont want to go back on meds tho,its not as bad as before.

[xxVerHulstxx]

cool video. a kid had a seizure at school today and people were laughing. it was really mean. but thanks for the info. i didn't know all that.

Thanks so much for your feedback! John Schneider of the Epilepsy Foundation

[luxretia]

I have epilepsy, but my epilepsy is NOT controlled.also, my generalized seizures are lasting usually just for a very short time(if you don`t count the following sleepiness with) and I`m often half-way concious.Absences: I had times where they lasted several hours!Or I fell from Absence to Absence(I understand the people speaking to me, but I cannot speak-which is horrible!)I had many different kinds of seizures in my life took lots of medis( so went also through a few side-effects)

[luxretia]

sorry for venting

[luxretia]

just sometimes need to vent.your vid is great.

[SagitarianRicky]

my moyyo is "i have epilepsy but I dont let epilepsy have me"
