People would be so much more informed about medical conditions if there was a government service providing information in such precise manner on all medical conditions. Thank you for such a thorough video .
Shockingly, you dont need the government to provide you information.
The private sector does everything better.

I've had about 15-20 Seizures I haven't had one in over a year thanks to my neurologist and medication.

Olivia Drew usually their very scary. At least it was for me when I had my first one! And also my second one which I had went into 5 times at our hospital. I scared my youngest nephew!
Olivia Drew people don't like talking about how it feels
Aryanna Marie some people are fine with sharing how it feels so that other people can learn about it
Great video. My brother has seizures. He is blind and doesn't talk with very limited sign language . So Im trying to learn more about them.Thank you !

@@petergodfrey2978 There is no such thing as a "cure for seizure"
Seizures can be scary but what would be scarier is somebody didn't know what to do
Thank you for this info. I can allow my husband and sister to watch to help them understand.

We know that this medical team got lots of practice at saving my life in more ways than one
I have epilepsy. I always have grand mal seizures while Im sleeping, go status epilepticus and end up in the hospital. It really is scary sometimes. Im guessing I probably wont live long since ive been to hospital by ambulance like 20 times already and I'm only 31 years old. Something ive accepted...
Never give up. A good neurologist can help tremendously
A caregiver that's anurse can also watch over you while you sleep. There are also new meds being developed all the time. I also go to healing services at my church.
I have Epilepsy due to MS. I have grand mal seizures but I have been taking Zonisamide 100mg for it. But that was 5 years of no meds helped me. I used to have seizures 3-4 days a week until I was finally getting on Zonisamide 100mg everyday
One doctor tried to hold me down when it was happening
Good Video about seizures and good interpretation.
I just had a seizure a year ago! Didn't know it was something that always happened to me most years until my mom told me about it.
Also i thought i just thought i was shaking when I had a seizure because my mom didn't really notice much trying to save me untill i saw this.
Hello,how you manage your epilepsy?
Thank you very much Very informative video .
I have a nephew who had a seizure for more than 5 hours .she was just paralysed not moving .
We did not have the correct answer what caused that .
Best regards from Morocco
Thanks 👍🏼, very informative
It is my opinion that the number one facility for medical treatment as far as Correctional Facilities would have to be purgatory Mike in the guards there always gave the very highest quality of Medical Care that I have ever experienced and seen first hand
very educational.
Very nice training
I use Ativan for my status seizures.
Thankyou for the info
Despite India having several excellent Neurophysicians, it's almost impossible to give the patients with epilepsy response because they do not know anything at all. The first time I had the attack there was nobody who could help me until it stopped. Then my parents were called and I was taken to the hospital, not for the seisure but for the injuries I had that day.
Earlier my seizures were strong enough that I fell on the floor, including one when was on a scooter. Obviously I fell with the bike falling on my leg and breaking it. Now that I am having medications, it has come down to a few seconds of what they described complex partial seizures. I am still on medications but the seizures haven't stopped yet.
I had a seizure after taking promethazine tablets once. But only one Grand mal seizure. I think I have had absent ones as a kid and didn't tell anyone because I was embarrassed.
I was born with epilepsy and cerebral palsy. I have a twin brother, i was born first. My brother was born with no problems. I take phenytoin for my epilepsy, as a child I was on phenabarbatone, then at 14 i was put on Epilim 500mg. Which caused me to gain lots of weight. I went to live in Canada for a few years where I was taken off eperlim & switched to phenytoin. Which I still take today. As a child I had grand mal seizures, which doctors said I would grow out of. Which I did, but I now have petit mal. It' feels weird when I have it, i can hear all thats going on around me, but ppl and any noise, sound much louder, plus it feels like I'm floating on water. Before the seizure I get the smell like burnt toast. I can have a seizure at any time, night or day. Unpredictable. I feel a little confused when I come round, which lasts for a couple of minutes, then I'm back with you again. Usually a cup of tea helps me recover. I read a lot of blogs where people who shared their testimonies kept mentioning Anti-seizure Herbal medication. I searched for a website I just followed the email address of Doctor Patrick that was shared on these testimonies; I got lucky when I got a reply from Dr. Patrick. I followed his instruction, used Herbal Medicine in less than 2 months, I was already cure because of the changes I was seeing. Within a period of 5 months, I was cured totally forever. I went back to my neurologist, I was checked up and marked epilepsy free. If you need his help you can Contact this herbal doctor via his email herbalmedicalhome@gmail.com and WhatsApp connection is +2348102558553 for help.

I have Seizures and when I was at WinCo Foods Store In Boise Idaho right near my apartment a big seizure started and it lasted at 15-22 minutes and then the Ada County Paramedics arrived at WinCo Foods Store and they turned off there sirens and they left there lights on
i have always wondered if i had and continue to have seizures - before one of these things i often get weird smells some quite strong and not related to anything around me - i can get visual weirdness like tunnel vision or just not right - my voice starts to sound really squeaky up to a couple of hours before this happens - i can blank out - have fallen down but now try to get down onto something - apparently my head can twitch sometimes other times i blink a lot - i can feel like i am asleep yet awake and cant move - and both bowels and bladder have been known to empty totally - embarrassing to the extreme - my doctor has said i am just dehydrated - these sessions can be spaced well apart or i can have a couple a day - they last about 2 minutes??? - i am extremely tired after these moments - and my speech sounds slurred to me - i have had a head injury about 2.5 years ago and wonder if it is all connected
musicmad it sounds like it could be connected to your head injury, as that is a risk factor for seizures. Dehydration can cause confusion etc but the symptoms you describe do sound like partial (aka focal) seizures. I would try another doctor or one who is well aware of your head injury.
thank you theresa pham - i have changed my doctor who wants this investigated for me - thank heavens - just hope they can now get to the bottom of it all - again thanks for caring and your reply

Teresa Pham - have seen the neurologist at the hospital - its a 2 and 1/2 hour drive there and 2 and 1/2 hour drive back - he glared at me because i had the nerve to make a complaint years ago about a fellow neurologist - asked a couple of questions - then told me to get on the bed - bring my shoulders up then he rammed them back down - the pain was incredible because i have a frozen shoulder - he grunted after i screamed - was told to lie down - i asked what for he said to test my reflexes - he bashed my left knee with that hammer thing and raked the prong of it up my left foot - he nearly got kicked so i guess good reflexes on that leg - bashed my right knee - i screamed - again - its the knee that was yanked sideways during surgery when i broke my leg and they inserted a titanium rod knee to ankle and have done a lot of nerve damage in the process - he then raked the prong across the sole of my right foot - nothing - got a grunt and told to go and sit back down - he spent the next approx 10 minutes quizzing my husband re my health and then he proceeded to tell me - i faint - i naturally said what???? - so not going back to see him - he is the only neurologist near me and they wont send me to another here because the hospitals are running at a loss so no money no fixing of patients - and life goes on in its funny blanking out way
And really they spared no expense at doing so I know it must have cost him an extreme amount of money to not only care for me but to make sure they're regards on staff who could accompany me to all my doctors visits my lengthy doctor's visits sometimes it lasted hours but nevertheless they did and was always very kind
I have seizures due to the TBI from a 3rd floor fall height and hit the ground sidewalk and grass.
Last year I was sleeping up until 12:30 in the morning and my mom done the right thing to do call 999 on her phone while the ambulance was coming to pick me up my mom checking if I'm breathing and put me in a recovery until ambulance arrive at my house
My partner has epilepsy. He has absence seizures and tonic clonic and disorienting stage after the tonic clonic.
I have Intractable Epilepsy and every time I have a seizure and someone calls 911 at the homeless shelter the paramedics think I am doing drugs 💉 when I don't do drugs or alcohol I just have Intractable Epilepsy and the homeless shelter won't let me take my seizure medication they took my Seizure meds away from me and won't let me take them
That's against the law.
Don't forget postictal aggression and how to properly respond to it :)
Rinna I’m an asshole after my seizures lol thankfully my city fire department knows me and when they get there they know to dodge my punches lol
kamdaddypurp that’s quite sweet for some reason🥺
kamdaddypurp wholesome but also somewhat sus
Im usually very anxious and scared when I'm postictal. My mom and my girlfriend normally have to keep my from standing up until my coordination come back because I will get scared and try to run away but not be able to.
Me too
I had one.. new, to me
Shirley Deatherage me too
I have seziures if they don't last at least 8-10 minutes the staff of GSDC needs to get Kim Lamb's cellphone and go to the contact and call the Ada County Paramedics right away and then Leon Lamb
Do we turn the people on the side so that the breathing is okay and
nothing goes in the lungs, after the convulsions have stopped or during
the convulsions?
billubakra007 On side after the seizure.
Ideally, you would want to turn them on their side during the seizure so that they don't aspirate any vomit or blood while convulsing.
You would turn the person over after they are finished having their sezisure. To make sure that their airways are clear and they don't choke- on saliva - never put anything in their mouth. Keep their heads in a downward downward positive. No food or drink and medication until they are fully recovered. Before I have my sezisures I usually get an aura. I know that my sezisures are going to come on. Always put something under the person's head to protect it a jacket a blanket what ever you have near by. I always carry a blanket with me but luckily I haven't had a sezisure in over 8 months. You may want to consider the person who has had a sezisure to get a medic alert bracelet. That when the
Paramedics arrive they can see what type of sezisure and medication they take. I have one and I never take it off.. One more thing the person who has a sezisure afterwards may be confused and not know what happened. Even bite their tounge. Just talk to them calmy and quitely. Try to keep on looker's away. Always have your cellphone with you!
@5:02 I just had a grand mal or general tonic clonic seizure a few days ago. I wish someone would have shoved a cloth or something in my mouth, as I nearly bit my tongue off. It is split deeply in several places and purple and blue in others. It's been days, and I still can barely stand the pain of eating!
Art Knight u can’t bite ur tong off and they can’t shove anything in ur mouth
I've had Epilepsy since I was 11 or 12. I've never bitten my tongue off. I have bitten it, on several occasions, so I know how that feels. When I was 18 I got my tongue pierced, and for a few weeks, my tongue was swollen and sore, it was a bit of a challenge to eat Ramen(damn noodles would get wrapped around the barbell). But I also kept it very clean and it healed rather quickly. Funny thing is, since I got the piercing, I have not bit my tongue during a seizure. But the best thing you can do for a bit tongue is to keep it clean so that it will heal. Mouthwash is great when you don't have time to brush. Every time you eat, make sure you either use mouthwash or brush your teeth. Last thing you need is tiny particles of food getting in there and causing an infection.

Orajel helps
Having a hurt tongue would be better than swallowing a clothe or aspirating blood/vomit and dying. Your tongue will heal, trust me.
What about children in school if they have seizure in school. Need to be transferred to the medical facility after first aid?
I have a question when they have a seziure should i hold there head still or let them move? And after they seziue do i turno them on there side or while they seziue?
Turn them on their side while they are having the seizure and do not hold them down. You can put something soft under their heads like a blanket or a sweatshirt. Learn more at www.epilepsy.com/FirstAid
@@EpilepsyFoundationNational what happens if you hold them down ?
@@stax3511 It can actually hurt the person more if you hold them down.
I think he put in the NPA in with the bevel to the outside of the nose.
my friend is having a seizure(hes well known for years) and hes having one NOW in a voice chat and its worrying, hes moaning and sounds drunk/slow and its freaking me the fuck out (also had a coworker do it and that was the first time i experienced it
Because when I have a seizure I can hear you speaking to me but I cannot respond back to you
What happened if's was someone is sleeping having seizure at nighttime
This has happened to me about 30 times I always have a seizure whilst asleep basically what happens is you get a sign that a seizure is about to happen such as you wake up in the middle of the night and have a headache when it happens to me I’m always sleeping and I wake up before I have a seizure I have a headache and then I normally shout for help as I try to close my eyes as I see flashing lights before it happens but when I close my eyes I fall back asleep and then I have a seizure and when I wake up there are normally people around me to comfort me or a doctor if it lasted over 10 minutes just giving you a heads up to what it’s like to have a seizure at night

thanks for infθ
So we can put them on their side while they are seizing?
Julian Rosario You can try, but sometimes our body's are so stiff and Jerk so much that you can't control how you put us. The side is to help the spit and foam drain so there's no choking on vomit.
julian, hi mate, let the patient have the sezure on their own,there is nothing you can do at this stage..when the sezure is over then put them in recovery position...but then to be honest they will sometimes come around very confused,imbarrassed and sometimes agro.... its always good to monitor a patient from the head end of the body so if they wake up all of a sudden and agro you can move away quickly.

My longest complex partial was 2 1/2 days. It was like I blinked my woke up 2 days later. Simple partial are the worst because you can hear people talking but you can’t respond back. I’ve been arrested 4 times for drunk in public because the police said I was drunk and wouldn’t respond. I failed the sobriety test because I couldn’t walk in a straight line. I blew a 0.0 on the breathalyzer though. I made sure I was in court on my trail day though so the judge could chew him up and down for writing someone with a disability a ticket. I guess the disabled can’t go outside and be in public. Be sure and always remain silent! No matter what!
jeremy stewert True about the being able to hear during the Seizures. I have never herd my name so much as when I started sudden onset partial seizures in 2019. Everyone would say my name and ask questions while I couldn't talk. I learned to close my eyes during because of peoples reactions.
