  • What is that godawful sound in the background? This is disturbing enough without all that.

  • @xtcpopculture being overly tired can increase risk of seizure. But I've never seen someone seize because the got woken up. Never hold someone down who is having a seizure! Remove their glasses, loosen tight clothing, move away anything they might hit, try to get a jacket or pillow under their head. And always time the seizure. 911 should be called if it gets to 3 min, is the first seizure, breathing stops or they turn blue

  • HAHAHAHAHAHA OK. Music time

  • This is heart breaking. But thank you for sharing. You'll be in my prayers.

  • Omg this is horrible. PLS MAKE IT STOP! >_<

  • To see this little fella go through this is heart breaking. I was 21 when I got diagnosed. Its taken me more than 10 years to finally come to terms with it.

  • awwwwwwww

  • i hope the little guy is ok

  • I suffer from tonic clonic episodes of epilepsy, and i find it so hard watching these videos as it reminds me of being a child and waking up terrified afterwards with awful pain and nausea. it really is one of the most awful experiences. i sympathise with him fully.

    i am so sorry for you and your little one. in my experience, having a parent by your side when you wake up after definitely is the best thing ever & hearing you've helped him for 5 years is great. best wishes to you both, take care x

  • @eils18 I have the same condition....ive vomited from the nausea...I would be so sore.  I hope more people allow themselves to be educated...

  • I started having these types of seizures when I was 13. I started jerking slowly, then more frequently culminating in a grand mal convulsion. Did the trial & error method of meds. Finally I was told by neurologist that only two medications work for these (myoclonic) type of seizures. Depakote and Lamictal. I personal take Depakote and they have been fully controlled since 1993. Hope this helps

  • Howdy ! I came across your video and also many but I wanted to just say that I hope everything is going well for you and that the little feller is ok..... I am so sorry that you have to experience this. I am a nurse in elder end-of-life(hospice) and just had my first client training for adult seizures, just doing a bit of homework. THANK YOU for sharing this with the world, this helps a lot in my training. G-d be with you all and may he give you strength !! Take care. Guy Sutton, RN,EAD

  • I'm so sorry for you and your poor little guy. Is he epileptic? My 13 month daughter has just been released from hospital after having a bout of seizures just like this after about a dozen smaller absence/partial seizures. The doctors don't know what caused it but put it down to a viral illness an after giving mess to atop the fits and she had no more on the following two days. I'm not sure why t happened on the first place but it sure is scary.

  • I'm a little confused.. I have been told your supposed to hold someone down, and i have also been told not to touch them. which is it?? And is it safe to wake someone up if they have epilepsy, or will that trigger something?

  • @xtcpopculture you should never hold them down for they will think yo uare fighting with them and they might do something back to you. Like biting is very common but im sure theres other things that could be done as well. Only touch them if it is gentle and if it is absolutley needed for their safety. Like if they were about to hit their heads on something dangerous you should move them around a little and protect them from danger but do not forcefully touch them or hold them down.

  • @xtcpopculture also i dont know if waking an epileptic up will trigger anything but i would suggest letting them sleep bcause that short seizure wore them out alot. so as long as they are out of the seizure its fine to wake them up but let them rest for a while

  • I'm in pharmacy school, and we just started covering the topic of seizures. First, thank you for posting, this really helps in understanding the disease, second, my heart totally goes out to you and your son. I truly hope this is a transient phase in his development, or at the very least, you can come to control them with medical regimens.

  • first, you should put him on the floor and on his side and make sure he doesn't hurt his head

  • @3brandy2483 Actually you should only move a person if they are in danger of hurting themselves. The first step is to roll them into the recovery position with their head tilted slightly back and then remove any objects from around them that could pose a danger. I have been dealing with Sean's seizures since he was one, so for over five years now.

  • @tjsstj I'v been dealing with them my hole life, and that is what I was told by every single person, if they are up high put them on the floor so they won't fall off and hurt them selfs, thats what I was told

  • Seizures be gone!!!
