What is Epilepsy and How to Deal with it? (Complete Video)

[@clarkkent7638]

My little brother was born with epilepsy and a brain tumor. Doctors said he wouldn't live through infancy. He survived yet he was having over 200 seizures a day. At 6 years old he underwent experimental brain surgery as a last try effort to reduce his seizures. He had less than a 50% chance to survive the surgery alone and only a 5% chance it would be a success. He's 36 now and hasn't had a seizure since the operation. Doctors said he'd never walk yet he ran in the special Olympics. Today thousands of kids have had the same surgery that was developed on him saving them from the cruel fate the original doctors passed down. He truly is a miracle.

[@Detroitraised]

I’m not sure about anyone else but after I have a Grand mal seizure, I don’t just “return to normal” in 15 minutes. Every muscle in my body hurts and I feel like I ran ten miles and I sleep all day afterward. Not to mention I’m stuck in my own little dream world for a while.

[@missdoommm]

I recently started experiencing the same thing but was not sure if it is fainting spells.

[@missdoommm]

I hope it's not TMI. But I find it very strange that I am very dizzy and I need a minute to realize what has happened and then my body is in pain. I told my family I think I'm experiencing seizures and they didn't believe me because no one has seen it until last night.. but they still think I just fainted.

[@Detroitraised]

RinnaRoo See a neurologist. Sounds like a seizure rather then a stroke in my opinion. Fainting during a stroke is not that common I don’t believe. Sounds neurological to me.

[@missdoommm]

@@Detroitraised im currently looking for one in my area. It just doesn't feel like normal fainting much more to it. My body's been hurting all day specially my lower back.

[@angeldo2150]

I've known that my dad is epileptic since I was a child. And while watching this video I couldn't help but to cry. Knowing that all of them happened to my dad. And I experienced getting bullied because of it, every time a classmate of mine would passed by she would act like she's having seizure or she's possessed (they said). I never tell my dad that I get bullied for it and that it affects my study (because when he experience major fits seizure, we would not go to school and would stay with him in a hospital for a few days). And I never blamed him for it, I know he's not at fault for having it, and that he is suffering for long enough. Instead it causes me to hate people who doesn't really have this illness but would act like they are having seizure for fun. You really don't know the struggles that the epileptic is going through and you don't know how much it affects the people around them. To dad, I am so proud of you, you were able to finished the course criminology, to get your driver's license and to be able to swim despite the danger it might cause you (the doctor told him he cannot do those things, but isn't driving or swimming anymore, at least he gets to experience it once in his life time). I am so proud of you for having to live a normal life despite the discriminations you received. I love you dad. I am really grateful to have you as my father, and I will never be ashamed of you.

[@cryco472]

I'm so sorry you and your father have had to go through all that Angel. Just remember there are many of us out here who understand and would never disrespect what people like you and your father have gone through and continue to go through. People who act in horrible ways get their bad karma, always. Life has a way of punishing and humbling. We just have to take care of ourselves and those in our corner. God bless!

[@howdydave45421]

VERY INACCURATE! * First, epilepsy is not a disease, it is a MEDICAL CONDITION! * Response to external stimulation and awareness of surroundings are not the same thing. I can carry on a conversation immediately after the seizure but may not be aware of my surroundings for 45 minutes during my post ictal state i.e.; amnesia - I will not remember said conversation. (I once had a seizure while walking down the street -- the next thing I knew, I was 12 blocks away walking in the opposite direction.) * After the seizure itself comes the POST ICTAL STATE which varies widely from person to person. * The "majority" of seizures are FOCAL seizures which do not involve convulsions. * An "aura" is also a seizure, specifically a simple partial seizure. Don't confuse epilepsy with seizures due to known causes. "Epilepsy" is seizures due to unspecified/unknown causes and is a "catch all diagnosis" which is not to be confused with "seizures due to strokes" or some other diagnosis. "Epilepsy is fully treatable" is an outright false statement. If they had specified "in many cases, epilepsy is fully treatable" then it would be acceptable. e.g.; Many people who have "drop seizures" need to wear "crash helmets" in order to prevent skull fractures. Most people consider "fully treatable" as ATTAINING FULL CONTROL. BTW: Patients here in the USA get EXTREMELY offended when people call seizures "FITS." I AM NOT A DOCTOR, merely a patients sharing knowledge that I have aquired after living with epilepsy for close to 60 years.

There is definitely potential for one to live a normal life with epilepsy. If someone along the way denies you an opportunity due to seizures, I say "fuck them" and move on.

[@EpilepsyAwarenessHub]

Life was grand as a toddler, going on weekend trips with my parents, playing with my friends and listening to grandma as she shared one inspiring story after another about the good old days. What more could a child ask for than the love and comfort of her family? Surprising life quickly took a turn for the worst and that pathway I was destined to journey became rocky as traumatic obstacles crossed my life path and took me on a different journey. A journey, one no child should have to experience. The Beginning At the age of five, I had contracted a sore throat and an ear infection. My mother had brought me to the doctor’s office that evening and the pediatrician had put me on penicillin and told my mother to have me rest in bed. No one thought much of it at the time. I rested in bed and I was on the penicillin for about ten days. On the tenth night when she put me to bed, my lips were more red than usual. The next morning at about 8:00 A.M., my mother woke up because she heard unusual noises coming from my room that sounded like I was choking on my saliva. She walked into my bedroom to find me in my bed turning blue and having a grand mal seizure. This was the first time I ever experienced a seizure. kzbin.info/door/OzqYUgTHdJqF-XuNH2qt5w

I used to have epilepsy and it was in the frontal leftal lobe for me. I still get really really paranoid about it since I was never allowed to go to concerts since flashing lights and large amounts of sugar and anger lashing out fits and being left alone triggered them. I still can't be left alone though. My anger management problem was basically born out of my years of it. Mine usually was when I would have one I would just shake around usually fall off. I was able to hear my family calling me but I couldn't move to respond. Looking back it literally scares me a lot. I also stared off in to space a lot but never responded then I'd fall over and have a seizure. I went to the hospital after every time. I was afraid to grow up since I thought epilepsy ruined me forever. But I'm 14 now and no longer deal with it. It's in my history so I still stay under my normal habits of not going out to concerts or eat tons of sugar. My anger is still crazy outtakes control so yeah. But I still hate having to have it in my history and wish it was never there. I also think it's my fault cause I had one during important events such as my sisters birthdays. But I'm all better now.

I didn't start having seizures until I was 20 years old. It caught me off guard when I woke up on the floor with my girl crying. I was like what the hell happened to me??? Honestly I grew up drinking and smoking at 16 and doing illicit drugs, so I think that played a major role in it. If I drink there is a 50% chance I'll have a seizure, so I have to stay away from liquor and beer, also no more drugs because it can cause me to be thrown into one as well. I hate having seizures but honestly they saved me from addiction.. kinda weird huh? Usually I can tell if I am going to have one, nosies because very loud, as if I can hear everything around me perfectly, and almost feels like the world is moving in slow motion.

[@harleyteske3983]

I was really stressed a few years back and had a seizure. My sister questioned if the seizure was a stress seizure due to a bunch of stressful events happening in my family. The ER Dr. told us that night that stress seizures do exist but only in people with epilepsy, which at the time we didn't know I had. A couple months later I had to see a neurologist. She asked me if I had any seizures before and listed off a bunch of different seizures. I said that yes I had deja vu but thought it was normal. She said that deja vu can be but to a certain extent. I explain one of my episodes to her and she said that it was not just normal deja vu and it sounded like temporal lobe epilepsy. They did an EEG scan and found out that my brain is abnormal in the temporal lobe and that I was having seizures all those years. I was born with it and didn't know that those mini deja vu episodes were considered seizures. I was almost 21 when I was diagnosed. And the mini seizures (as I call them) or deja vu tend to happen more when I was stressed out. I've only had one grand moll seizures and hoping that's all I ever have. My medication has kept anymore seizures from happening.

[@benreeve7448]

This is a very informative video, and much of what is stated is true. I am grateful that there are videos that help educate the public on this condition. Before I say anything more, understand that just because you have had seizures, does not mean a diagnosis of epilepsy. I have occipital lobe epilepsy (accounts for no more than 5% of diagnoses). I am fortunate to be in the population that can function in everyday life. I was diagnosed at 26, and with medication, I can continue to work full-time as an RN, I am getting married in a couple of months, and I have managed to be seizure free for over a year. 3 years into my battle, they still haven't identified an underlying cause (a hallmark of epilepsy).Everyone is different, what might work for one person, may not for another. It is for the most part treatable, and doesn't have to control your life. Spread the appropriate knowledge, and don't be afraid to look out for yourself, or someone who may be blindsided by seizures. #seizetheday

Epilepsy can hold a negative aspect on one’s future. From a psychological point he or she may not grow with the normalcy of society causing this person to feel inadequate in lifestyle. This person with epilepsy may not grow up normal in mind, but from a holistic sense, physically, socially, and so-forth. This person will have to be treated for other illnesses as well. Epilepsy not only has a negative impact on the the one with the disease, the one with with epilepsy has a negative impact on societal growth.

JodyJohn123 exactly. I also have a physical disability, as if that’s not bad enough, add what would be an invisible disability, until it appears that’s no longer being invisible, epilepsy.

And it takes time to find the right people who do take interest and what you can offer to the world. We also have bills to pay.
