Thank you for uploading i have 3 sudden seizures all within seconds and my parents tried to wrestle me dropping me to the floor scratching up my face and they pried my jaw open and shoved their fingers down my throat ... my face looks great now

Now that I'm older I understand the sensations associated with whatever type of fit I was having, and I haven't had a fit in at least 19 years. I don't take medication for seizures anymore either.

I think my seizures might have been more closely associated with a sleep paralysis which is possibly closely related.

[MRKetter81]

I've had seizures in the past... what my parents found out was that rubbing numb areas such as the head in very rapped succession (either because of blood flow or nerve stimulation) would help revive numb areas.

This mainly applies to the kind of seizures that involve momentary numbness of limbs or head. Other types of spasms I can't exactly account for; however I know at least in my case when I moved it was because I was trying to gain back control over my limbs.

Larry Lin had seizures as well my uncle Joe.

[yoyoimhome]

Then why do they still have seizure bite sticks at my clinic?

[vickiormindyb]

I hate when they ask me if I remember having a seizure. I never do. The only thing I remember is a strange sensation all over my body right before it happens along with extrasensory input.

After that I don't remember anything until I wake up.

[dustbunee2007]

This was very educational, and yet, very strange to watch, especially since I had seizures when I was a kid.

[pordolafi]

don't you have to pull their finger? and open ther mouth so they don't cut ther tongue?

thats what i know.

but its a good vid anyway

[wilkylao]

during episode of seizure...victims teeth usually don't bite to cut or injured their tongue.Often times their teeth & jaw are locked up steady either open,semi-open or closed,"NO BITING". No need to worry on putting anything inside the mouth,just follow the video & procedures,"SIDE LYING" position for recovery after seizure & if there's frothing coming out from mouth to drain the fluids & to avoid aspiration.Just protect the head with cushion,don't hold the victim's arms & legs while in seizure.

[OregonCoaster]

I always bite up my tongue during a seizure. I have no idea WHEN, perhaps when coming out of it. Still, NEVER put something inside my mouth!

[grukora]

That is generally the way the help someones who may be having seizure. Bravo

[MySeizures]

Thank you for educating the world. Most of us knew nothing about seizures until we became victims and hostages of this mortal menace.

Keep up the great job.

I would have to agree. Epilepsy can be extremely "life altering." By this I mean the fact that some victims have to take medication daily for the rest of their lives. Epilepsy in my opinion, is a burden. Just like diabetes for example.
