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.

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.
