I had a generalized …
I had a generalized seizure…all I know is I went black and woke up with a sore tongue (bit it) and confused. Otherwise to me when I had my first seizure..it was like falling asleep.
Really the worst …
Really the worst part about having epilepsy is waking up with the bloody tongue, the aches… trying to stand when your legs refuse to support you.
And worse still is waking up on the curb outside a 7-Eleven with a cop shining a flashlight in your face.
“How many drinks have you had tonight?”
“Egh… none you idiot…” I really get sick of having to explain it to people. And all I ever really wanna do afterwards is sleep, those are maaaad tiring.

I get both complex partials and generalized, but never yell during a tonic clonic, and thankfully I’ve never myself.

Had a tonic clonic a couple of years back. woke up and a family member was there asking if i was alright. It was like wtf why are you askin if im ok and why are you in my room. being woken up by someone asking you questions is freaky.

2) then I finally passed out, I was in an epileptic clinic but they never seen anything like it before, they knew it exist but it,s rare. Duh. The way I experience seizures is not even to find in any book and even here they don,t talk about THAT. But I don,t want to frighten anyone ,like I said it,s rare but itis is traumatic, very much so ;-((( fight against ur own brains is exhausting
only when you have …
only when you have complex patail with secundair general. I,m one of the “lucky few” that is concience when it moves over to general. It,s like the ground is pulled away underneath you and you don,t have control of the things your body is doing and the things happening in my brain are almost not to discripbe, it,s hell. In an epileptic clinic I could answer after I had fallen down and started to twitch all over, I could not see anymore but still hear. I could answer during all that,
no its not painfil, …
no its not painfil, unless you injure yourself during the seizure, i bite my mouth sometimes…that sucks!
