You guys should have explained The Recovery Position, If you put them into the Recovery Position it stops the puke and Spits from clotting their airway, The Recovery Position is simple but is used to help in so many ways, So when they are laying down flat, Take 2 fingers and place it under one knee cap, Push up so their knee cap is bend and their one leg is bend outward, Grab their arm of the other side and lay it under their head then turn them towards you with the bent leg touching the ground, Don't go too fast because you can hurt them, Go nice and easy and no need to ever panic.

I kinda figured out what to do after all these years of seeing what people were doing with me while I was waking up from my seizures. Makes me thankful 'cause my dad has them once in a while.

The main thing is to stay calm and keep the person who is having the seizure, out of danger. I have epilepsy so I know what they are talking about. I only have the generalized tonic-clonic

Good information. I was surprised they left out one very important thing about 911. If the seizure stops and another starts, call! There is a galaxy of other kinds of seizures but this is a good video because it addresses the one that scares the public and is often treated incorrectly.

Yeah, but I hate it when I have a seizure that was not that long nor bad, then paramedics come and find out they didn't need to. It makes me feel like I wasted their time.

I heard that a simple partial partial and complex partial seizures can involve one specific area or lobe of the brain, and not one half of the brain. It can be but not always the case. Is this true? Is it one half of the brain or one lobe, specific area of the brain when somebody is having a partial seizure?

I am not sure. I have grand mal seizures and my brother has drop seizures

I have absence seizures. I was diagnosed at the age of 5 but have been seizure free since the age of thirteen and so was taken of meds which caused massive weight gain a hand tremor and memory loss. The point is meds are good up until a point an then it becomes a pill no pun intended. my triggers are flashing lights, specifically the transition from the out doors to inside a classroom getting too hot and recently sleep deprivation. my parents were told to treat me as a normal child and to see how fare I would develop and look at me now I have graduated high school with honors though I did hope for a regents diploma but after taking the algebra common core regent seven times starting out with a 40 and ending up with a 57 oh well. I start collage in July not august as you can infer I was not expected to do much of what I just mentioned The effects of my seizures is that i have Aspie like tendencies due to my epilepsy which i know is difficult to understand to put it in simple terms as a result of my seizures my brain compensated and rewired itself and so i have all of the symptoms of Aspergers but lack any sort of understanding math as a result i have no understanding of money and never really learned my basic math facts.(i am just learning them now in college which for most Aspergers people they are gifted with math abilities )i also have orthotic because due to my seizures that i had straight feet at birth i also have a sensory processing disorder. i have low gross motor control and other motor issues as well. After my father died, it seems I have had a relapse if that is possible. i still have my absence seizure but it is not enough to put me on meds . i have been getting driving lesson and have 10 -20 seizures in the drivers seat. i take omega 3 cod liver oil liquid form as i can not swallow pills this helps decrease the too -small -to -medicate -seizures i have very small seizures that show up on the EEG as misfired neurons and the Dr. called them "flurries" so here is what my flurries are typically like i will become very spacey i can not interact with my surroundings i also felt locked in to place.

You forgot to add if the person is pregnant

Don't let epileptic episodes stop you from doing the things you enjoy doing. It is very important to let someone know that you have it so that if a seizure happens, they know what to do.
