Understanding Partial Seizures (Epilepsy #3)

[@riclee9504]

Thank you so much for the video. Have had Epilepsy for 3 years and learned way more than my Dr ever taught me

[@way-cute]

I have simple partial (focal) seizures mostly. I had a bad spat where it advanced to occasional loss of conciousness, and started giving me some motor issues (hands kind of flapping about) and both the EMTs and the local emergency room doctors said "it can't be a seizure you can talk", when I was able to regain conciousness. The lack of awareness even doctors have about seizures is why I was over 41 years old when I was diagnosed, despite having this issue since I was a child, maybe my whole life. They all said I just "had anxiety" and needed to: 1. Relax 2. Go to church 3. Take antidepressants (which made them worse) 4. Take a nap All of those are real things doctors told me about my seizure complaints. I didn't know it was seizures, so I struggled to find good words to explain what was happening to me, but its amazing how much they'll write off, even AFTER YOU ARE DIAGNOSED WITH EPILEPSY.

[@PuffleFuzz]

Thanks Healthguru for helping me w/ a visual reference for my harriet tubman project in US History! Thank you SO much!

[@becky7854]

PuffleFuzz Plays Im curious as to what a video about Simple and Complex partial seizures has to do with Harriet Tubman and/or the underground railroad? Forgive me for my ignorance if i didn't know that she had seizures or had anything at all tied to the things shown and talked about in this video... I don't mean this comment in any rude way at all. I say this because i know context is often lost in comments on youtube or texts/emails or any communication that isn't face to face or audible over the phone. Hope your project/presentation went well!! :)

[@nemeanf27]

I've had Complex partial and tonic clonic/Grand Mal seizures since i was 11yrs old aprox 10-12 per month,29yrs old and doing really well now,I reached surgery on left temporal lobe on July 2010 after 17yrs and done so well post-surgery now,not had any seizures since surgery was done,consultants are very confident i'll never have seizures again

[@CourtJester888]

Thanks for these. My recorded lectures didn't record the lecturer demonstrating convulsions. This cleared things up quite a bit.

[@devereypardoe244]

I get it too, be normal, recall something from the past,triggers strong flash back of events i dont remeber, I try to remeber the thought that triggered it but am too caught up in the current dejavu feeling, thoughts shift, another event or 2 i dont recall, im dazed, feel weird, sore stomach, different trigger everytime but i can vaguely remeber 2 figures that show up in the "feeling" that seem to make it slightly more intense before completely stopping, about 5minutes after "the feeling" i feel a weird but good bond to a previous dream ive had and makes me want to go there for some reason

[@becky7854]

This was really helpful. I was just diagnosed yesterday with epilepsy...after having an abnormal EEG that showed Epileptic discharge (im pretty sure thats how it was said) something about discharge in my left temporal lobe. I believe im having simple partial seizures in my sleep for many reasons. And i have had what i believe to be complex partial seizures during my waking hours before with my warning being extreme nausea, dizziness, vomiting or dry heaving along with loud noises in my hear that sound like a crowd screaming i also hear that while coming out of my seizure while not knowing where i am, whats happening, or who i am..then i start to think that im dead or dying...then im awoken fully usually and thankfully by my Mom who now knows if she hears me trying to vomit or actually vomiting to come to the bathroom quickly...and usually finds me on the floor with my eyes in the back of my head and groaning not sure what i do with my body ill have to ask her. But i do know ive woken up out of my sleep before or what i thought was sleep and is most likely a simple partial seizure, ill wake up with my arm in the air...or ill wake up sitting up and like coughing kind of like clearing my throat its hard to explain....over the years ive had bfs tell me that i make many noises in my sleep...and i move a lot in wierd ways. I also clench my jaw so incredibly hard that ill wake up with my jaw hurting...and ive bitten my tongue in my sleep before and i also bit my tongue during a complex partial during the day once and i woke up out of the seizure with blood in my mouth and not understanding what the hell was going on...and my friend who was with me when i collapsed from walking was crying over me and said that what i was doing was so scary and she thought i was dying... I had forgot to mention to her that i had had seizures in the past...many of them. I once had 10 in one evening...and after the 10th my Mom then called the EMT. .and they were def not happy that she waited that long....and now i know why i have such horrible side effects like brain fog every day....headaches often, extreme memory loss, my word finding is so terrible its like someone went into my brain and took 50% of my vocabulary from me. Including most of the big words i knew and even some of the more simple ones. Im constantly asking people....what is that word....um who is that guy....um (talking about a close friend or an actor that i have known about and talked about for years) ive always been a movie buff and could often call out actors names and movie names and now i can't ever. Like forgetting things like that happen to people all the time but at the level it happens to me is scary. I forget how old i am sometimes...i forget my phone number often...and much more. Basically i feel like i have half a brain :/ and now i know why. 12 years of having seizures without ever being diagnosed and put on meds to stop them will do that do you i guess. I just hope the damage isnt permanent. If anyone knows or has been through the same thing please let me know so i don't feel so alone....i dont really have anyone to talk to about it. Oh and also i found out i have epilepsy yesturday which was Tuesday and on the saturday before which is...3 days prior i found out my ex bf...the last person i was ever with romantically in any way, was hit by a train and died in the hospital or the helicopter that was taking him to the hospital. So the epilepsy and having my liscence revoked because the hospital called the DMV a month ago after they saw my EEG results to tell them that i have epilepsy and cant drive...and so now i dont have a liscense and can only get it back in 3 months after being seizure free all that time...but if i have another one after that i have to be taken to the ER again to check my brain for further damage where they will call the dmv again to tell them to again revoke my liscence......fingers crossed that these meds work (Lamictal) also please let me know if you've taken these meds and how they helped or if you had a bad experience that i should look out for with them....so yea that was the cherry on top of the My ex bf got hit by a train and killed cake. I will continue to pray more and more. Thankyou to ANYONE that read even part(ial) of this lol ;) haha get it? Partial? Ughhhh Becky stop theres no such thing as epileptic-humor. Lol but i guess i gotta make myself smile somehow even if it means making any blessed reader of this cringe terribly. Lol God bless❤🙌🙏

[@wordwonderg_0194]

I've been going through the same thing for the past 6 or so years, one episode per month almost. I am a doctor, and believe me juggling post-grad studies with this condition is horrible, but hey we have to make a living in the competitive world right? So as a fellow epileptic and a medical professional i would like to give you a pointers or two about this condition. 1. Know your stressors- it may be stress, or lack of sleep, or anything that overworks the brain. So see a pattern in your episodes and detect your stressor and then try avoiding it in the future. Mine are lack of sleep and stress. 2. Give your brain a rest after every seizure. Your brain has gone through an overactivity, it needs to relax. So no heavy working/thinking/watching videos etc. 3. Just accept it and incorporate a routine so that you dont get stressed out. 4. Meditation helps. 5. Believe in yourself. I totally get it, your memory sucks, you get weird dreams, you get deja vu sometimes of these dreams, and trying to remember words is a bitch. But lets stay positive and fight it, coz there are a lot of people suffering the same thing as you. So keep your head up girl. XX

[@RealexcelEpilepsyPortal]

Thank you for the video, very informative and visual. Greatly appreciated Healthguru

[@TXizzle]

Nice to find this vid, I recognise a lot of what my neurologist told me. In my case it's complex partial seizures. I can handle the seizures, although I sometimes find it hard to get back on my feet (not literaly) in the following days. I clearly notice it causing changes in my motorskills and emotional connection to certain objects or people. Quite and enstranging experience I must say.

[@SophieHills-yr1se]

My dad had epilepsy and I may have it as well as I’ve been experiencing absent seizures and other ones so I’m getting an MRI soon.

[@squirrelboy009]

I started suffering with Complex Partial Seizures when I was 11. I'm 20 now and I'm still having seizures, despite having a Temporal Lobectomy. I've been offered a second operation, but at the moment I'm just sticking to medication, despite after 10 years them still not being able to find anything to control the seizures.

[@braedenballdub]

yes, that would imply that it is a partial seizure. usually when the seizure is in "full effect" they wont be very responsive if at all. Usually they respond on the descent of the seizure or as they are coming out of it (or fully out of it).

[@Flubbel]

Very nice vids! Thanks for posting!

[@ZeroCGR2]

Single seizure shouldnt worry you If you start getting more then go to your doctor

[@chrism6904]

Thank you so much for this video!

[@TheMags77]

I have had partial complex seizures my whole life and I just got off Topamax. I also take Klonopin. I know with both of those drugs you have to be very careful mixing any type of other stimulants or anything else with them because it can throw your body out of whack!! Also a few things that set off my seizures are alcohol, lack of sleep, and stress. I would see a doctor (neurologist) if your symptoms continue. :)

[@rosethehat2073]

Can Ehler’s Danlos or POTS cause seizures? Sometimes I feel very strange and I’ll stare at something for a few seconds. Sometimes my arms or legs will stiffen up and twitch. Could that be a seizure? I don’t lose consciousness fully, but I feel like it’s impaired.

[@UniverseIndistries]

@looker768 Yes there is(as he said) it's called a simple partial seizure. If any of the 3 listed(awareness, memory, conscious) are affected ie.(loss of memory or repeating the same thing over again and again without noticing) then it would be a complex partial.

[@msp774]

i get partial seizures and they're scary

[@RobWitchdoctor]

For me, it's a very strange feeling indeed. I have read on internet searches that some people have a feeling of doom during their partial seizure. I sometimes do too, but not always. It seems like a sort of spiritual feeling at times. Sometimes it feels as if there are things inside my body trying to communicate with me. I read something recently in the news that scientists say that there are 30 trillion human cells in the body and about 39 trillion bacterial cells in the body, so other life forms outnumber us even in our own bodies. I have tried speaking to doctors about these feeling but they don't seem to understand at all. Sometimes these strange gut feelings come when I view a building I like or a nice nature scene and I kind of like this strange feeling. I wonder if it is the same enjoyment of being 'scared' that people enjoy when they watch a horror movie. Am I going mad? Lol. :/

[@blobvision]

Is it possible have a complex partial seizure and lose consciousness half way through the seizure?

[@Reverberate_]

Have your medications or the dosage changed any? My seizures have alternated as the years have gone by as well but my doctors have been adjusting the dosage of my medicine, as my seizures have so far been uncontrollable as well.

[@GreenMedicine1]

My meds prevent grand mals but I still get these sometimes. I feel the aura first then I won't be able to talk and won't know where I'm at for a couple minutes. Can't get a driver's licence now I fucking hate it.

[@DjHijinx1]

I'm right there with you sir. Keppra stops the Grand Mals but I have complex & absence seizures all the time. I'm also on lamotrigine and it doesn't help at all. I also hate not being able to drive. It sucks.

[@losbastardosmtb]

Hows it now ? Temporal lobe epilepsy av got a swear a was on leveteracetam a think it was called, but now on lamotrigine 150 mlg twice daily seems to work but doesn't if bad diet and exercise too much but 2 year now

[@SaintTrinianz]

During periods of overwhelming stress I’ve had scintillating scotomas, flashes of light, double vision and metamorphopsia. No doctor ever told me that these were symptoms of seizure. I had to figure that out on my own.

[@michaelao9672]

I couldn't for a long time even begin to try and explain what was going on. Mostly though I figured people would just think I was crazy so I kept quiet lol

[@SaintTrinianz]

Michaela O Our brains are meaning-seeking machines so when our reality doesn’t make sense we look for all kinds of reasons. I had persistent dissociative thoughts like thinking that I died at some point but continued to dream as if I were still living. That eventually faded away. At this point I’m pretty sure that I’m alive and not just dreaming.

[@LauraLea40]

I used to have seizures at anytime and anywhere. They have gone to mainly at night while sleeping, or if I wake up to go to the bathroom, or when I first wake up in the morning. This is a good thing though. More safe for me. So, my main question is, does our seizures change over the years? I used to just have them around my menstrual cycle. Now they happen all through month.

[@PAXperMortem]

Can it be considered a seizure when I sometimes twitch a finger or a leg when I'm resting?

[@GoldenLioness100]

+PAXperMortem That sounds more like a myoclonic jerk, which is your brain getting confused by the falling asleep signals.

[@PAXperMortem]

GoldenLioness100 So that's normal?

[@GoldenLioness100]

Are you dozing off/falling asleep when you get these jerks?

[@PAXperMortem]

GoldenLioness100 Most of the time, yeah, but sometimes it happens when I just sit down and relax in front of the TV after a long day of work. Recently it hasn't been happening so often though or maybe I am just not paying that much attention anymore. What's also worth mentioning is that my sleep schedule is pretty bad...

[@GoldenLioness100]

You're probably way more tired than you realise and your brain is getting confused. Work on improving your sleep schedule and you'll find it'll go away. Although if you are genuinely concerned, do please see your doctor.

[@averyclements1110]

is it possible to have a small 30-40 second seizure, at first we thought it was syncope, but now my doctors are testing me for seizures and sending me to neurologist, iv been scared as fuck ever since I had a syncope/seizure spell three months ago, didn't have another one till about two weeks ago when I smoked a tiny bit of weed and decided to go to the store 5 mins from my house and hit the ditch I don't even remember getting in the car to go to the store, all I remember is waking up in the ditch , iv had 3 spells since then, but none in the last three weeks when my Dr switched me from mirtazapine to clorazapate for my severe anxiety .. my first seizure my whole family seen happen and it was at a restaurant where my eyes apparently rolled back into my head, I fell from the chair I was sitting in and apparently convulsed on the floor my legs and arms were moving uncontrollably, when I came back out of it it took me a few seconds to realize where I was and I then asked what happened to me and my parents thought I was on drugs I wasn't on drugs and ever since the last seizure I had while driving I have completely quit smoking marijuana, I'm not aware of marijuana causing seizures but iv had them while on it and while not being on it any feed back would be appreciated as I'm scared as heck and ain't able to work or drive for some time ..

Hello, I'm a fifteen year old girl. This last month I've been having staring spells that I cannot pull out of. When they happen my body feels pulled down or stuck. Sometimes my head will try to droop and my eyes want to look up while my eye lids blink. During these one to two minute staring spells, I am mostly conscious. The only impairment I have is being unable to understand where I am or not understanding words that people around me are saying, my vision also becomes blurred. I twitch someti

[@rosethehat2073]

This has been happening to me too. My head doesn’t droop though, it usually turns and looks up at something. It’s very weird. I hate the feeling that these “episodes” give me. I feel like I’m not fully there. And my head will feel very strange. Almost like I’m in a dream or something. I’ll usually just stare at something, but occasionally I’ll twitch.

@@RobWitchdoctor not mad at all, I kinda get what you're saying but its been a few years since I had my last one so its very vague to me. Also overall its a surreal thing lol. I initially thought I was having past life memories and then because of some strange dreams I'd had I decided it was more like someone was trying to give me a message so maybe I was a psychic medium? I have read recently that they believe all these religious prophets were perhaps having temporal lobe seizures and because they are centred on the part of our brains to do with memory they can make us think all kinds of weird stuff. I remember for a while feeling the same way appreciating beautiful things. I'm more spiritual now than I used to be, I feel that we are all connected in some way and when we realise that we can harness it and make beautiful things happened. *shrug* I dunno, ramblings of a mad woman perhaps. They also wonder who many psychics are just undiagnosed epileptics, which made me conversely wonder does epilepsy just open up a part of our dormant minds that makes us open to these other worldly experiences

Epilepsy can be scary. I’m still trying to find out what kind of seizures I’m going threw today. I can feel when the seizures hits, i still have full control of my self when my seizure strikes, such as grab the phone calling 911 and talk clearly telling them I’m going threw a seizure. My seizure today feels like extreme blood pressure getting pressed against my brain, My heart starts to race, I do the best I can’t to tell my self not to panic, I want to continue call 911 but don’t cuz it only last about 30 seconds. I usto have grand Mal seizure, then got the RNS which stoped the the grand mal seizures. Next I got recorded having a complex partial Seizure. Going unconscious making noise not remembering anything. Then 7 years later of the RNS being adjusted I no longer go unconscious, I have full control of my self. But the feeling of the seizure is extremely scary. Have this seizures 2-4 time a month. or I don’t know what kinda seizure it is.., when my seizure goes off reach into my pocket an I grab the RNS magnet and rub it next to the RNS. It’s puts a red flag up for the neurologist to see. It’s very scary. My neurologists report still says Complex Partial Seizures, but I don’t understand how it can be??? I have full control of my self.

Complex partial seizures specifically are called absence seizures since there is loss of consciousness i.e the person does not remember the events afterwards. The other seizure is simple partial seizure where they are aware of what is happening.

[@ronwells8375]

sounds like TIA mini strokes, get to a Dr.... Mini strokes can happen in resting state, causing sensation from lack of oxygen. again, go get checked out by a Dr. good luck!

[@AR-vz3pf]

well i'm 23 and generally very well 😕 usually one criteria for tia is old age

[@ronwells8375]

not necessarily, age has nothing to do with TIA it has to do with restriction of oxygen supply to the brain. smoking restricts the vessels, narrowing the passage ways. you should still see a Dr to find out more about your sensation. don't let age fool ya, children have strokes too... hopefully, you're not having either issues.

My Mum has Complex Partial Seizures every week, more then once too. She's "off" for more then 30mins each time. It sucks and theres nothing anyone can do, including myself.

[@kimberleylingsvlogs]

These are scary. ive been getting weird episodes where my whole body freezes up. i would stand like a statue but my eyes roll up or looking at the wall. i dont blink or anything. i can feel my heart slowing down and i can hear tv noises or people talking if im outside but i cant respond to them. plus my body would feel numb at the same time. It can last sometimes a few seconds or even minutes. my husband witnessed a lot of times and said he was scared seeing me like that as he said it looks like im dead even though im still breathing. i told my gp about this and hes sent me for an ECG and blood tests and he said hes going to refer me to a specialist as he said it sounds like i had a partial seizure. for me mine happens 2 to 3 times a day even more for 3 weeks now. it is horrible and scares me when i cant move or speak. after the episodes i can walk again and talk but i get this horrible tension pain on my whole head. im hoping my gp can work out whats wrong with me and if needed have treatment for it because it terrifies me and ruining my life right now.

Same for me, after a partial seizure I find difficulty speaking and forming words. It only lasts about a minute or two. It doesn't mean that a person is stupid, far from it - otherwise how did I get a degree in English?

[@TheDownhillman]

@lilfili7 how did you know you had a seizure

[@megaman32345]

[@carloscaycho8641]

I dont understand the difference between a complex partial and an absence seizure

[@sizzlebiskits]

boston fan the difference is in the way the seizure begins.

[@luigistravino2264]

I got the same and is other tablets to stop seizure and is the

[@nezpercenathan]

I have seizures and am not epileptic. I have a brain tumor. Anaplastic Oligodendrglioma. Don't assume that a person has epilepsy if they are having seizures.

[@brobaklat]

I had a quad accident and was diagnosed with minor head trauma. I had my first seizure 3 years later and have had them every now and then ever since. Who cares what they say, fuck them. We can't help our problems

[@davidwhistler1977]

what he doesnt bother telling you is that partial seizures you feel like your about to die sucks ass almost miss having grand mul seizures at lest then dont remember having it but like i said i almost miss them

[@michaelao9672]

I think we are all different. I definitely never felt like I was about to die or anything.... Just the overwhelming sense of doom/confusion/anxiety/deja vu all wrapped up into one

[@Rob-dh3rp]

Michaela O can you explain your experience. Can this tie in to a random feeling of fear for no reason like intense fear for maybe 5-10 seconds around the gut/ chest area

[@Rreynaertt]

I have Seizures and i passout about 5 times aday, but know one knows why. when i have a seizure and the monator it nothing shows up , but you can clearly see that im having one.. at first everyone (family and doctors) thought i was fakeing

[@malishacunningham9564]

When I have a seizure I pass out and now my family says that I walk around grabing things my vision goes out all I see is White light and not remembering it sucks and trying to tell people like my doctor I don't remember what happened they just change medicine and look at you like you lying or something like that it's embarrassing and I hate it 😧😧😧

[@Trizk24]

same here

[@swagultra]

I hate that seizure just recently from smoking synthetic weed, it was the worst feeling

[@34nicoli]

but the only thing that happens to me is my eyes roll up and flutter. I immediately stop each time and they each last a few seconds every few seconds or minutes. It's even worse in the car but mainly irritating. He never really talks about simple, did you notice? only says it.

[@yb-youngblood4998]

i have a deja vu episode every day. And i triggeret it by smoking pot

[@SebastianOfficial11]

*twitch sometimes. What's your opinion? Am I having a simple partial seizure?

[@nascar3003]

If you do drugs, and OD and die, or have something go wrong, i dont feel sorry for you.

[@Habbrow94]

@Raynevampire69666 People like you are awesome. :)

[@nsmcastillo326]

[@ThePreepree]

@brazenbishop i feel embarassed

[@twoossify]

Hmm, well I'm sure that to most people, whom are religious that would sound like a possession. I myself am not personally religious so I'll tell you what I think it could be. Your body was put under way too much stress. Due to the lack of sleep and then to the coming off of drugs. The first time that I ever had a seizure, I was smoking pot, for the first time in my life. That started my epilepsy. So, you may have had a partial seizure due to the drug abuse.

[@anarchyonline211]

my motor strip has been raped

[@twoossify]

Haha, well then call me a heathen. ;)

[@nascar3003]

Kinda dont feel sorry for you, since you decided to smoke the K2. kinda brought all that on yourself. lol
