Tonic Clonic/Grand Mal Seizure

This is a tonic clonic (gran mal) seizure I had while in the hospital for video monitoring. I had electrodes hooked up to my head to monitor brain activity. The doctors were trying to see if the seizures were coming from one part of my brain. If they had been coming from one part of my brain, they would have been able to remove that part of my brain, ending the seizures. I am posting this video for educational purposes. It is me in the video, and I own this video, and have the right to post it. Questions are welcome. Please check out http://seizureinfo.yolasite.com/ for more info on seizures. Thank you.

Think back to the last time you were sleeping. Other than dreaming, there is just nothing. You don't see darkness while asleep, just the same as when unconscious you don't see light, dark...anything.

Some people have an aura, or warning, before their seizure. I do not. I have no feeling or sense that it is coming.

I got a question, if your awake and your having seizure, what do you see when your having seizure? Is it all black? Or whited out? Please answer :)

[bigfrohead55]

@RoyalZeoKnight

Because I am unconscious when I have a seizure, there is no white or black. There is nothing. For that amount of time, I see, hear, feel, smell nothing.

Does it hurts???

[bigfrohead55]

@TheKhatanahlya

The seizure itself is not painful. However, I generally bit my tongue and sometimes hurt myself when falling. So it's more the pain afterward that I'd feel.

@jackdal39 It's hard to explain, it just a felling(usually called an aura) that tells you the seizure is coming.

@RoyalZeoKnight When I have my grand mal seizures I can see and hear what's going on. It doesn't look any different than when I'm not having a seizure. It just moves around more. The worst part is struggling to breath when you know you can't do anything about it.

I suffer from both simple partial seizures, and tonic-clonic seizures.All of my tonic-clonics occurred during the night while sleeping, never while awake. My only indication of having had one is the piece of tongue missing from my mouth in the morning and the fun muscle cramping. (Unless my partner shares the bed, then I have a witness). I can honestly say the simple partials for me are the scariest things I've ever experienced. Being awake and aware while it's happening is so frightening.

Try a parasite cleanse, parasites in the body are often the cause of seizures for people who suffer from them but dont have epilepsy but many mainstream doctors are totally unaware of this. most people who have a parasite dont realize it themselves.If considering a more extream approach such as harsh medication or surgery please try this first. Verm X4U or Black walnut are the two most effective ones on the market.The cleanse may have to be repeated regularly to keep the seizures away

@Goldenace21 correction* temporarily* blind as well...all the after effects only last about a couple minutes

[Goldenace21]

i used to have them too..my "aura" or warning was a numbness creeping up my leg, afterwards (post seizure) i was blind and temporarily paralyzed in one leg. they put me on meds and i never them then they slowly took me off the meds and i was good...they were idiopathic but healed, i geuss.

I wish you well.  My wife suffers from seizures of several types, including grand mal. She has auras. Hers are not frequent enough that she can go under observation. So mysterious.

God bless you man and I hope it's pretty much smooth sailing for you from this point on
