Thanks for the video. I love hearing people talk about their seizures and how they manifest in different ways, as you say it's so unique to each individual and which part of the brain is affected.
Hey, it's alright. It's quite nice to have somewhere to talk about epilepsy because you know the people watching or commenting are actually interested, as opposed to worrying that you're bombarding your friends and family with information. Out of interest, what brought you to the channel?
It's great to know that other people out there feel the same. Honestly, if you ever need a place to talk about epilepsy just go for it, I always read my comments and genuinely find other people's experiences interesting. Thank you so much for watching my video!
I enjoy watching your videos. I’m 28 and I started having seizures when I was 5. In middle school I got detention because I had a mild seizure in the middle of class. 😢 teacher told me I was being a class clown and thanks to that I was homeschooled. Also throughout my years and development with epilepsy, I noticed that I move slower than others and had an IEP when it came to taking test and the likes… What you said about the AURA really makes sense now. I can always tell when I am about to have a seizure because I get really lightheaded and it becomes hard to breathe. For years they told me that epilepsy had nothing to do with it, but I can tell that is my signal to call for help. EEG’s and MRI’s shows that the activity starts on the right side of my brain, but they can’t see a connection. I am also on levetiracetam and Lamotrigine. 😔 I think I gained about 30 pounds since they upped my dosage, but sadly my neurologist doesn’t believe that it’s affecting my weight. I find the type of seizures I have interesting because I would lose consciousness, but I’m still moving around and holding conversations. Knowing that there are others who experience similar types of epilepsy is reassuring. At least I know that I am not crazy.

@@nadineshrimpton222 Exactly. I always worry that I talk about epilepsy too much so can definitely relate. Followed your link on Reddit!
