Dang poor u your grandson him and everyone in this world that has seizures from diabetes fevers etc. I don't have auras the weird feeling etc anymore after my surgery I thought it was useless but they completely stopped but the surgery gave me hypertension stage 2 and major panic attacks but not every one has these after seizure surgery so if u can get surgery say yes because it can help just remember

As a fellow epileptic, I can sympathise. I 1st had a seizure when I was still a Secondary School Student (i'm in my 40's now), i'm on medication & haven't had any more seizures for a long time. Thinking back on it now, I believe stress was the main trigger.

[@jannajones751]

I know how he feels, I've had seizures since I was 13 years old and still have them

[@sky-hv4zo]

That was me until I got surgery but now I have major/severe panic attacks that I need to go to the hospital for oxygen during my panic attack because my blood pressure goes anywhere from 120-140 as top and bottom anywhere from 80-100 but it's dramatic blood pressure during hyperventilating times and I cry sounds like I'm crying and screaming for help when I'm actually not and I passed out/fainted in front of security cameras and people looking at me telling me to calm down etc made it worse because it's your 1st time having it and your family has a history of heart attacks heart problems etc

I assume with his history of brain surgery, it's something they would have expected. I'm surprised they knew it was happening. How did they know he was having one.

[@CAFCHardman]

Absolutely shocking 😢 I’ve been having the odd seizure since I turned 20 in 2019 has been so awful. Can’t explain how bad the feeling is after coming back round 😢

[@erikarabie]

It's like coming out of a blackout. It's the lead up to it that scares me. Utter fear

[@sloht4061]

I had one while doing my bike license however I assumed (they never really told me the reason) it was from head injuries. (Used to hit my head alot on walls or on the floor when I was going through a really rough period of life) Anywho, I really liked having one. Not like "I loved it, wish I had another" but, I always feel so overwhelmed all the time and never stop over thinking or being over analytical of myself or issues so it was like just dissapearing. When I woke up in the ambulance and even at hospital, it was possible the most clear headed I've ever been and calm.

[@CAFCHardman]

@@sloht4061 sad to hear it mate. Weird i had my mod 1 test the day after I had a seizure in January. Have to wait a year now to do it again. However I haven’t told the dvla jusy going to wait it out they took the proper piss with me last time I tried to get my licence back.

[@CAFCHardman]

@@erikarabie can you feel them coming? With me it’s nothing then coming back around normally In an ambulance all confused

[@sloht4061]

@@CAFCHardman I wouldn't bother telling DVLA or anyone honestly. I'm still buying a bike. it's been 6 months and it says thats fine. Haven't had one again after it happened so I think itll be fine. Makes it worse that it was for my cbt XD Take your test mate, im not sure they'll find out or who will tell them. Hope you're well and if I dont get on here to say, good luck with your future test. Biking is risky enough, let alone adding flippin seizure in XD

[@Scraggledust]

Still better then our response times here. Also, it is very expensive so you’re better off rolling yourself to the hospital; as 80-90% of ambulance companies, refuse to accept any insurance at all. So, it’s always a big bill to ride in an ambulance even if you have insurance

[@LauraBidingCitizen]

Sorry, what? Lol. Are you aware of how long ambulances are taking to get to people now here in the UK? You’re looking at 5+ hours, sometimes longer - people have & are dying while waiting. Many right now would quite gladly pay monthly for a better quality NHS.

I saw her shivering uncontrollably with both eyes upwards then I have a doubt when I turn her placing hand on her Navel to avoid a strong shake ...that moment forth bubbles come out ... Then smooths her till the end ... But it didn't happen any bad / awful things . After she regains she told me while reading she has the feeling of spinning ( giddiness ) ..... Gone is her relay ( sense) .... After the 4th tap on her face she got her sense back 3:12 😵‍💫😵🧠🤰🏼🙄
