Thank you so much Zoe for mentioning that there are so many different types of seizures and talking about triggers. So important people are educated so they know what to do and what not to do. X
After a seizure, they will most likely feel very vulnerable, emotional, and very tired.
As an epileptic this is true, and nauseous
@@lovefromjuliaxo yes. Also, they never mention an aura although they vary they can leave a residual effect, even without an actual seizure.
I always feel tired after a seizure and it takes me a while to communicate properly. I slur my words, even though to me it’s not slurred.
@@vikkilouise609 Me too I am also very weepy.
For some people including me, it’s imperative to call an ambulance right away and not to wait. Better safe than sorry for those who tend to go into status epilepticus.
If you don’t know the person always call an ambulance just in case
so agree ,my son has rescue medication and a protocol to follow ,he has different seizures each day and its still scares me after 27 years and i always call the ambulance as timing is everything x
Absolutely
@@lorrainemurton6004 bless him, I carry rescue meds too💜
Yes I do. My late wife had epilepsy and pretty sure it killed her in the end. The reason I believe this to be is that there was one night before that she ha da seizure while sleeping she didn't restart I was able to save her but the night she died I didn't notice a seizure. Don't call an ambulance protect there heads and let it happen. Most people who have epilepsy maybe I should say in my experience those with epilepsy don't want to run to the hospital everytime.
People will often feel extremely fatigue after a seizure, they will want to rest afterwards for few days or weeks. Time goes so fast. I normally feel disorientated and confused
My 4 yr old has Epilepsy with a multitude of different seizures daily. Someday, we can get up to 50 seizures.
One thing we find, there isn't much support for the parents, teaching how to care for them or checking on our mental health. Watching our daughter go through it is traumatising.
Watching this, I have to say, putting a pillow under the head is incredibly difficult when her muscle have fixed her into one position, and what about rolling? The majority of tonic clonics my daughter has had, she has needed to be rolled due to vomiting.
I can't help but feel there was a lot of info missed here that should have been shared.
For my mum we were taught to roll her onto a pillow in as much of a recovery position as you can so that even if you can't put a pillow underneath her she will roll onto one and then at least you can sort of add pillows or blankets around her so that she may roll on her back but onto a pillow or blanket hope that helps
This is very helpful information very useful and its good to know.
There should be atleast two qualified first aiders at every company
Education on seizures is lacking in schools, further education, and in the work place. It is very rare to see medical alert bracelets...unfortunately.
I had a seizure in hospital after a collapse and had brain surgery 3 months later for chiari malformation. Scariest day of my life, but having that seizure saved me too.
someone helped me at Angel Station, he was so kind 😊
Yes!
I’ve had epilepsy for over 15 years and I start to hear the strange noises almost like someone’s trying to talk to me. I imagine that like a devil and then all I know from what people have told me is that I start to scream and the next thing you know I’m lying on the floor with blood coming from my mouth because I have bitten my tongue. There were two seizures that were so embarrassing one was that I was at speed dating night out and it was one time I went on my own and we were having a break from saying hello to all these people and then on the break I had a massive seizure and naturally nobody wanted to go out with me on a date naturally. Then the other seizure that was embarrassing was that I had one halfway through a the film Julia and Julia, I was with my mum and my grandmother and I remember turning into my mum almost asking her for help. Next thing. You know I was lying on the floor of the cinema with glass everywhere because we were able to take a glass of wine in with us, and luckily there was a Doctor Who helped my mum and my grandmother and the ambulance turned up but the cinema people were really nice as they gave us tickets to see the cinema again, but I did not go as it put me off going to the cinema. Every day when I’m in a quiet room, I’m terrified that I’m going to hear something and it’s going to set off my seizures as I’m not long got my license back.
Epilepsy has been with us for thousands of years and yet so little has been done to find a cure or at least up-to-date treatment to restore a quality of life for those that suffer with it. Please why must they be called FITS?
so agree ,he was wrong to say fits ,its seizures and this morning should of known better
@@lorrainemurton6004 I lived in The USA for many years and I never heard the word fits regarding seizures. Since I returned to the UK I hear Fits all too often...I even told one Dr. who asked how often I have fits, that the only time I feel I am having a fit is when they do not call them seizures. I do wish they were more open and interested in seizures in the education system.
I call them fits sometimes and I am epileptic.
@@vikkilouise609 That is probably because you have heard them being described as fitts by doctors and nurses. Think how often the term fit is used to describe a tantrum or anger. We are suffering from seizures and not throwing a fit. Forgive me but it is just something that I find frustrating.
i have 3 family members in my house who have epilepsy
I have eplipsey called dravet syndrome my common triggers Excicment ‘sleep’hot and lots of others
Excitement also is a trigger for me over ecstatic
Make them comfortable and for the love of god, DO NOT PUT SOMETHING IN THEIR MOUTH 🤯
I have a monitor every night the same for my family night and day and have baby monitor to make sure I’m awake in the morning
Hotness is one of my other triggers
heat waves on holiday like America
Whilst researching mental health recently Asperger’s bi polar, ADHD Autism and many others all read 1/100 people suffer from it. So, next time you go to an event with 100 people in the room don’t walk around trying to spot him or her as it just might be you. The reason l wrote that is simple. Do not judge anyone, that’s not your job.
Dr zoe looks like sonic the hedgehog with her hairstyle.
attractive though
