RIP Cameron Boyce May 28,1999- July 6,2019. I'm hoping they integrate a foundation in honor of your name geared towards research and possibly solutions on how to "cure" or control this condition in young people (the future of tomorrow) and of all ages. You are missed angel. Fly high ♥️💔💐✍️🌎👑
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.
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!
Kids can be rude, been made fun of many times during fits on school, not losing consciousness during fits so had the lovely time to hear everyone gossip or even joke
same thing happened to me and everyone was to scared to even talk to me in school so they grew balls when I went under and when I woke up my teacher was surprised to see me stand up asked if I was ok " if you gave a rats ass you would have shut these punks up and called a nurse shut your mouth" then walked over to the guys desk and right hooked him out now he was the unconscious one Man karma is a bitch but I love dealing it out sometimes
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.
@@kianiefaith1654 I can try and find out from my parents, I was only 8 at the time. I do know it was a Duke University neurosurgery hospital. He was operated on by a large team of doctors. My Dad said there were several of those giant medical cases full of instruments in the theater.
@@skjrahaman9391 His neurologist was named Dr. Raymond S. Kandt. We are good, thx for asking. My Mom couldn't remember the other surgeon's name but said she would text me it later. If I remember I'll add it here. Edit: Dr. Kandt was his neurologist, Dr. Oakes was his Neurosurgeon.
I was diagnosed with epilepsy about a year ago and I really questioned how it would effect my everyday life. Watching this video gave me the reassure that there is hope and I can live a more normal life!
I was recently diagnosed with epilepsy and have found this very informative. I also am trying to read so much on this as it sort of is new to me. Not entirely freaked out over it, but am trying to keep sane and have it controlled. Thank You so much ❤️.
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.
howdydave45421 my 14 yr old daughter suffers from generalised tonic clonic seizures and focal epilepsy , she has been suffering from epilepsy for 10 years , I agree with what you have wrote in your comment , my daughter has exactly those symptoms during a seizure and after
I have epilepsy and he said that people are not aware after they have seizures. Not true. I had absence and tonic clonic seizures and after I had them I was aware of what happened
For a moment I felt like story of my life is going on.. I got about 4 or 5 seizures. It started when I was 18 mostly at morning. I'm 27 now and studying Mechatronics I'm scared of seizures that it ll occur while working on machines. So thinking of quiting my studies. Many times during seizures my shoulder had dislocated. I had to go through an operation. I wish no one ever face this condition. May God bless us all with good health.
This taught me so much about my condition. Thank you so much!! I know it is not easy having epilepsy but I know that people are trying to find a cure so I can only pray. But again thank you for the video.
You are right, in most people it does, it varies. I think they take it to lightly. They didn't even talk about those who are resistant to therapy and those who aren't suited for surgery.
I was going to say that too, if I had a grand mal it can take me a whole day to recuperate. He sounds like someone who got their information from Wikipedia. Many people can not stop their anti-convulsants after 4 years that is so false. It’s crazy because when you have a grand mal it feels like it’s been hrs when it’s only been like 3 minutes.
Well they are sort of right since most people can recover between 15 to 30 minutes (I have epilepsy and I normally recover around 30 minutes or so) but in some cases it can be longer than that since it’s different for everyone.
thanks for sharing this! My Dad is really ill, and now he adds epileptic symptoms to his dementia. I will start reading up on this neurological condition today. I am thankful you share this.
This video is very important. My brother has severe refractory epilepsy and there needs to be more awareness for the neurological condition! I myself made a short documentary about my brother's story, and am a strong believer that videos (especially on youtube) are a great way to spread awareness. Good job!
I have mynoclonic epilepsy. When I wake up in the morning, I’ll get a seizure. And this happens once a month. My seizures last 30 secs. Then my body rests and I’m sleeping. After that I sleep the whole day. Now I have full awareness of my seizures. If my body doesn’t feel right and I start to jolt, I go on the ground and wait. Now I’m still taking meds and I have absent seizures. But I do get the spacing out.
My big brother have been suffering from this illness for the last 20 years. He takes medicines regularly but still haven't recovered from this illness. The one thing i noticed that whenever he uses his brain too much he suffers from this illness or sometimes when he's way too angry about something and keep talking about stuffs. Then shortly after he falls. We've taken him to almost a 10-20 doctors but still nothing much have changed :(. He was only 4 years old when he got this illness. Please pray he recovers soon.
Very educative .. my girlfriend is suffering from this and I feel like I popped too late in her life to be of any help , she hates taking so much medication and hopes to stop but its been so many years since she started . I feel like her family neglected her
Thank you for all the information, I really appreciate it. I was diagnosed with epilepsy a few months ago that starts in the parietal lobe and then spreads into the rest of my brain and caused the tonicoclonic seizures, happening every 2 days, always at night and with an aura of intense vertigo, with no apparent cause, so I wanted to learn more about all the terms my neurologist gave me and know what the heck it all meant, so thank you so much 🙏 😊
Our literature teacher started reading about Dostoevsky's epilepsy and describing his auras, deliriums and seizures to every detail, it made me uncomfortable to listen to descriptions of a seizure and I wanted to speak up every time she made a mistake about epilepsy, saying that there's foam coming out of people's mouths and that it's inheritable...
But you know what's worse? When they skip anything to do with the brain because they think you'll get offended! Like, seriously. My old teacher didn't know I have epilepsy so he taught us about epilepsy and other conditions to do with the brain but this year my teacher knew I have it so they didn't say anything about epilepsy [insert facepalm]
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.
Do you really need help to cure out your epilepsy, I can recommend you to a very powerful and spiritual man who can help you out with all kind of sickness ...especially epilepsy..
I have epilepsy multiple times and this is very helpful. I had it once last year, once in January this year, once in July this year and once in August this year. Thankfully, it's been four months and I'm feeling better
Wow my daughter has seizure how the operation make u feel.does it help u😢 may God help u to get better u and my daughter and everyone else that having seizure problems 🙏
The beauty of this video is that it didn't just provide us with information but also helped fight stigmatization and discrimination against epileptics ❤ JZK
Same tho and good luck with all this and I hope you get better and I am 12 I'm turning 13 this year so when that happens I'm 3 years away from my driving test but I many never get to drive or be in the military because of this
@@sm0llqueen289 Same for me. It's so unfair. People who surrounds me doesn't want to be in military and don't have epilepsy but I want to be in military bit I have epilepsy.
one of my friends had epilepsy while walking on road i was shocked and scared while people around gossiping that we took drugs nobody helped us i took him hospital alone
Right, it’s a lot more common than people think, but when usually people think about a seizure, first thing that comes to mind is gran Mal seizures. A lot of people don’t know about the other ones. I have complex partial seizures.
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. Morning time when I wake up I have to give myself about 5 mins before getting up and moving about before work. You can have a normal life, just be careful
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
I had my first seizure about 5 years ago. Now I’m having them more frequently. I had my last seizure on Tuesday of this week :(. I was just diagnosed as epileptic by my doctor on Tuesday as well. I want to learn more about it.
My experience. Stress plays a big roll in my frequency of fits. While running and gym for two years. No fits. I've stopped for 4 months and two fits since then. I'm pushing myself back to fitness
Whenever I have seizures, it usually takes me 2 days before I feel strong enough to go back to my everyday routine. It's hard for me to walk around afterwards and my legs feel very heavy
The video is very important for us. I have been with Epilepsy since 1999 up today, I have been to hospital and when through Medication but still on able to recover. The only medice my Doctor as me to use at this moment is Carbamazepine. Life is very difficult for me with it. Low Educational knowledge
Mera baccha ek din uske frnds ke sath swimming krne gaya tha. To achanak swimming krte smy mere bete ko first time mirgi ka ztka aaya. Uske frnds the sath me isliye acha hua. Uske baad use mirgi ke ztke aana chalu ho gaya. Ekdm achanak se mai aur uske papa tension me aagaye the. Kuch smj nahi aa raha tha kya kre. Najane kitne hospital me dikhaya lekin kuch fayda nahi hua. Baad me uske papa ko branocon syrup aur assicon syrup ke bare me pata chala ye Ayurvedic medicine hone ke karan Uske papa ne ye amazone se online mangwaya aur humne use is medicine ke doses dena chalu kr diya. Usko 5 mahine se branocon syrup aur assicon syrup de rahi hu tab se ek bhi baar mirgi ztka nahi aya. Ab maine uski sari medicine bhi bnd kr di hai.//
I was 13 when i had my first seizure and then i had my section one 4 years ago and for me this is important info for people to learn about. my section seizure was very scary and I remember the bigening middle and end, i remember hearing the sirens from the emergency cars. Thank you for making this video, this means so much to me for this video.
same for me, i remember the minor seizures before my first seizure, then waking up barely able to hear anybody as if they were whispering from far away and the absolute confusion when i could barely stand from weakness and strangers showed up and helped me onto a stretcher and hearing the sirens the whole ride to the hospital laying there in total silent chaos trying to retrace my steps, i couldn’t remember what day it was
Hi ive had generalized epilepsy now for bout 12 years nd for others suffering its hell never knowing when or how its going to affect u,after so long its not even about the gmals ne more, its the euphoric depression, jobs, ppl leaving,u leaving ppl,psychiatric diagnosis that come with mine was much more untreatable for a long time,and things r starting to look up from the meds im on nd taking better care of myself,fired 2 jobs for seizures,nd im 29 im unemployed,cant live alone so im staying with dad for over a year now but its definitely made me a stronger person,stronger than ppl who have so much more and dnt do ne thing.so if u r epileptic it's hard I've wanted to curl up and die plenty of times,but changing as a person is harder and mt experience from being epileptic is life is similar because u can never truly know the outcome so let go of the expectation and learn from your suffering the best u can and do something every day to make it better that's something you have control over,not seizures ur life
I’ve had epilepsy as long as I remember and I’m almost 16, the last time my doctor weened me off my medication I had a seizure a year later and had to stay the night in the hospital, and my doctor said I may have to be on medication for the rest of my life, because all the seizures I’ve had were really serious once’s.
I've had epilepsy since I was born and had the seizures since I was 8 (that's over 20 years now). I may not be able to drive, get a job, or live alone, but it did make an 8 year old girl fall in love with biology. Especially epidemiology (the study of anything that can fuck up your body). :)
Most of this information is incorrect if he was talking about any type of seizure other than a specific type of seizure. Although he is talking about a type of seizure, it is an uncommon type and he should have been much more specific.
Thank you, thank you so much! I am now no longer ashamed that I am temporarily epileptic based on the fact that medication can be stopped if I take the medication consistently for 3 years or so. It gives me hope that I can indeed overcome this illness with faith and discipline.
I only have epileptic seizures at night and when I get up I don't feel my body and bit my tongue. It takes almost a day to recover halfway and the tongue even 2 to 3 days. I had that several times a week, I couldn’t concentrate and forgot things. Now i take medication it helps but i still don’t feel very good in the morning . I dont want to imagine what would happen without them . I have epilepsy. Since im 3 years old. If anyone else made this experience a comment would be nice 👍 Wish you all the best never give up science 🧪 is getting better ❤️🙏
I've had epilepsy since I was 2 and I had it for 10 years and it took doctors 5 months to find out what kind I had and my friend has the same type of epilepsy as me and I hope your epilepsy will be gone
I know a doctor that can also help you get rid of it permanently he also save my life he can also help get rid of other illness......Kindly send me your WhatsApp number or email address so I can forward it to the doctor
my elder brother have a same problem epilepsy since 6 year ...under medical guideline he have done 3 year medicine course .. & in 4th year he face the same problem ... the incidence happen that day ...he doesn't get proper sleep, feel tired & at evening he get attaced by epileptic
I am fortunate enough to have very good meds for me so as long as I take them regularly (once a day) I don't have any issues, even if I play games, etc. Hadn't had a seizure in years.
I know a young girl who died in her sleep Wednesday and i'm still in disbelief....its so scary how you can be here today and gone tomorrow. Sigh do not take life for granted. Get saved!
I have Epilepsy. I have been beaten and arrested for having a seizure in a Walmart. I have been ostracized by people who claim I'm demonically possessed. My own mother blamed Marilyn Manson, when she was the one that forced the Ritalin down my throat and caused me to develop it before I even hit my teens. It is a nightmare that I would never wish on my worst enemy.
I just discovered I have epilepsy and is quite refreshing to see how lovely word it the video was thank you for encouraging me to continue studying and no be a shame of my illness
When I was diagnosed with Epilepsy, I studied it so I could learn more about what was wrong with me. After that, it made an 8 year old girl fall in love with Epidemiology (the study of anything that can fuck up your body). :)
I think I experience sleep-type epilepsy, but only once every 3-5 months. I don't think treatment is a must though for me. I don't think it can get any worse than this. The only thing that worries me is if I have a brain tumor, but Idk, I have been dealing with it for more than 5years, so I think more symptoms would have appeared by now if I had a tumor. I will be keeping an eye on it for a few months, If I ever feel it threatens my life or had stronger proof that I have experienced it, I will definitely contact a doctor.
i have youth epilepsy which means it will probably only hunt my childhood, (i’m almost 15 now) i think it’s wrong to call it a disease, it’s not like covid or the flu, it’s something you are born with or slowly develops, you can’t do anything about it, i have to take medication everyday and the medication makes me tired/mildly tired throughout the whole day, but i still believe i have a future. (quick note for those who bully epileptic people like me, we can’t do shit about it, if you think it’s funny then you should feel how it is to have it yourself.)
According to video , seizures ranges in minutes while I have many seizures that were just for seconds but they were to dangerous but now after one year of proper meditation , I am fine like I was before epilepsy
I've had second seizure in about year and half couple days ago and this video gave me much needed piece of mind if I gonna be ok. Thank you so much for this vid ♥️
I have been on a dual treatment for the past 21 years. I can attest that you can live a normal as long as you take your medication as directed. You also need enough sleep I will caution that you go for regular check-ups and be as open as possible because it may save your life in case you start suffering from the side effects of the medication.
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. Sure other people do have multiple conditions, diseases disorders, and nobody wants to give you a chance to contribute to society because of those issues. 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.
my son was newly diagnosed and it is very scary for both. He will be starting treatment this week and I have soooooo much anxiety but I want him to continue to be great without the condition interfering with his everyday life. I'm too trying to learn eveeeerrryythhing. Pray for us. Thanks for the video.🙏
I have it and I was diagnosed with it when I was 6. I had 3 seizures in my life and it was horrible. I also been cyberbullied because of it. People said my seizures were “Harmless” but I could have died from seizures. I had a seizure when I was 6. And Another One When I was 7, I had a seizure and everybody prayed for me and hoped I was ok. I had my last seizure when I was 10, And I rode in an ambulance and woke up in the hospital. I was very upset. Now I am Almost 13 and I no longer have seizures. And that is my story!
Question, not to rude but how long were your seizures and what type were they? As in grand mal, complex partial or absent? The three core type of seizures?
@@laurahero8778 I’m not sure, I think they have to be tonic seizures. Two of them were the same type while the third was a different type. Somehow, I was aware of my surroundings. I had a fourth seizure as well, but it was minor and I didn’t need to get taken to the hospital. I can’t keep track for how long, but I think they lasted for a couple hours.
@@gAm3r_GuRl984 Oh thank you for replying. As for someone who has more repetitive yet quick seizures this is quite fascinating but horrible. I would never want of course neither of ours. It’s just mine comes daily, or hopefully weekly but in minutes. It’s just like, which ones are worse due to timing?
I am an epileptic patient suffering from this since last 12 years and I have total 5 fits Allhumdulliha eating medicine on daily basis and this video was very helpful
I know a doctor that can also help you get rid of it permanently he also save my life he can also help get rid of other illness......Kindly send me your WhatsApp number or email address so I can forward it to the doctor
I have Epilepsy and this video is just wrong sorry. First the meds take along time to figure out which ones work for you in my case and many people have to take multiple I take 12 pills daily which have come down, with many side affects. After a gal mal it take me 3 to 4 day to recover depending on how bad . Not no 15 mins that is horrible for you guys to put out. Also you should add the fact the there is suped even if low add the stats for that .which many people In the public eye recently have died from and people I know have died from . Horrible.
claud 29 some patients experience different symptoms than others. This is a generalized presentation for the public. It isn’t made to fit just one persons symptom.
It's still a bad video. It's not a general video there isn't even a black person represented in the video. This video I m sorry to say is from an Asian country. This video is not representation of everyone! So don't put it out. That's the problem with RUclips. Talk about it. Don't do a cartoon. Go to epilepsy society and get info there.

I had up to ten to fifteen fits a day and I had to sleep it off until I was given some new tables in year 1999 and I started fading out my fits and I’ve not had a fit since year 2000 taking my new tablets
After I had epilepsy and after the seizure is over I can’t feel or use my left side. And I only got them in the winter at night time. And my whole body starts jerking. I always feel that it is coming and call my mom
You can handle epilepsy very easily by Bach Flower Remedies. Every day at night take Bach flower remedies: White Chestnut, Walnut, Crap Apple and Aspen. During the day take Star of Bethlehem and Mimulus, 3 to 4 drops twice a day. This will decrease the frequency of the attack. During the attack put Rescue Remedy in a cup of water and put the water on the lip of the patient for every 2 or 3 minutes. After two months of taking these remedies, the epilepsy attack will come to almost to zero. After the episodes are over continue with Star of Bethlehem alone for two to three months.

I missed my meds for 3 days because I was so focused on the dream job I had, I wanted to do my best to impress my clients and partners. All this dedication cost me my career. I had 1 seizure at work, and that's all it took. My doctor was pissed, and my therapy was dragged back 4 years of prudent medication. Since my work required national and overseas travel, my doctor told my employer that I was not fit to travel. And just like that, my employer wasn't happy but they had to let me go. I was a 1-time district Boxing champion and 1-time district MMA champion and prime figure in various other sports. No punch in the world could ever knock me out but this one was a bitch. I am 100% sure if they knew about my condition back then, they wouldn't even let me compete in school and college. I am not sure it's my fault that I am Epileptic and as competent and competitive as normal people or it's just people who like to exploit the best excuse to reduce the competition by telling me it's for my own health. I could be content with the fact if I was intellectually impotent, however, being the smartest in the room and still deprived of opportunities because I take 1 stupid drug and I might not function without it, I just can't wrap my head around this helplessness.
I had some sort of seuizure today, my parents could not wake me up and i was not responding to anything. All i Remember was waking up and going to the hospital. The Doctor took scannings of my heart and brain, it all came out good. Tommorow however I will do one last MRA of the brain, exactly how portrayed in this video to see if I had a epileptic seuizure yesterday. Hope it all comes out good, even though this video says people with epileptic seuizeres can function as every other normal human being this is not quite true. At least in my country, you cant get a drivers license if you are epileptic nor serve the military for example. I am joining the military soon and plan on taking the drivers license too which is i why I really hope i am not diagnosed with epilepsy.
A disease is distinct and measurable. A disorder might indicate that a specific disease is possible, but there is not enough clinical evidence for diagnosis.
There are so many cases of siezures not documented of what all they cause a person to do and act out. I was beat by my local sheriff's department for resisting while they were trying to cuff me while having a siezure and anyone with epilepsy knows you can't control how your body goes stiff feeling you can't bend any joints in your body and of how your being treated while having one will make the outcome of the siezure even worse if your being treated like a felon being beat and tazed that make the epileptic go into a violent stage to we're they think everyone is out to hurt them. Is there anyone else who feels like this during a seizure?...
i have experienced what seems to be an epileptic fit recently. the first time, my brother noted that i was having convulsions and was jerking my leg randomly. As far as I knew it lasted under 5 minutes. The second time (yesterday) i felt myself pass out but i woke up about 20 seconds later. My friend noted that it looked like I was also having convulsions (apparently my eyes or head was shaking quite a bit). I remember both times it was hot, I felt dizzy and could feel it coming but could not actually remember the pain/falling down. Fortunately this did not interfere much with my day but we are going to get this checked out by a neurologist.
Epilepsy is a medical term for seizures (seizures are a symptom of an underlying problem). In the case of Epilepsy, it could be do to head trauma (causing malfunctioning in the brain), a imbalance of the micronutrients needed for your body to function properly (all of the electrolytes (electrically charged minerals) as well as B6 (due to an imbalance) can result in a seizure). 30% of patients diagnosed with epilepsy aren't epileptic (John's Hopkins Study) they actually have difficulty handling stress. Seizures can also be caused be elemental metal toxicity (example: mercury toxicity).
Mera baccha ek din uske frnds ke sath swimming krne gaya tha. To achanak swimming krte smy mere bete ko first time mirgi ka ztka aaya. Uske frnds the sath me isliye acha hua.

My father was not a epileptic but,from yesterday night his epilepsy started.We thought we would become normal and he became normal!But again after some time his epilepsy started,this happened with him 6-8 times after a minute so we took him in the hospital at midnight.Now,he is at the hospital.
I've decided to learn everything I can for a friend of mine who's epileptic.

@@thundertoast7745 Have ur friend or uurself keep a Journal and use it for study. So that u both can fully understand what triggers some seizures.

Juice wrld
@@jnbvev6208 Juice didn't have epilepsy, he just had that seizure because he was addicted to drugs and alcohol. E.g., he kinda died of brain damage.
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.
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!
Kids can be rude, been made fun of many times during fits on school, not losing consciousness during fits so had the lovely time to hear everyone gossip or even joke
❤❤
same thing happened to me and everyone was to scared to even talk to me in school so they grew balls when I went under and when I woke up my teacher was surprised to see me stand up asked if I was ok " if you gave a rats ass you would have shut these punks up and called a nurse shut your mouth" then walked over to the guys desk and right hooked him out now he was the unconscious one
Man karma is a bitch but I love dealing it out sometimes
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.
@@kianiefaith1654 I can try and find out from my parents, I was only 8 at the time. I do know it was a Duke University neurosurgery hospital. He was operated on by a large team of doctors. My Dad said there were several of those giant medical cases full of instruments in the theater.
@@skjrahaman9391 His neurologist was named Dr. Raymond S. Kandt. We are good, thx for asking. My Mom couldn't remember the other surgeon's name but said she would text me it later. If I remember I'll add it here.
Edit: Dr. Kandt was his neurologist, Dr. Oakes was his Neurosurgeon.
She says his surgeon's name was Dr. Jerry Oakes.

MASSIVE SENSE OF DEJA VU BEFORE A SEIZURE OCCURS IS WHAT I HAVE EXPERIENCED
S same here
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.

The animations of the seizures made me cry having someone you love living through this everyday hurts physically
):
I was laughing but suddenly got sade when I read your comment
For a moment I felt like story of my life is going on.. I got about 4 or 5 seizures. It started when I was 18 mostly at morning. I'm 27 now and studying Mechatronics I'm scared of seizures that it ll occur while working on machines. So thinking of quiting my studies. Many times during seizures my shoulder had dislocated. I had to go through an operation. I wish no one ever face this condition. May God bless us all with good health.
I hope you get well soon!!!
I got 6 seizures and yea it s bad avgree
This taught me so much about my condition. Thank you so much!! I know it is not easy having epilepsy but I know that people are trying to find a cure so I can only pray. But again thank you for the video.
Obviously the person who made this video never really experienced epilepsy. Pretty inaccurate recovery takes a lot longer than 15 to 30 mins.
You are right, in most people it does, it varies. I think they take it to lightly. They didn't even talk about those who are resistant to therapy and those who aren't suited for surgery.
Ellen Vandyke you're right it could take up to a day or more to fully recover I know from experience because I have epilepsy
I get aheadache that makes me almost scream. Up to 24 hours or more...
I was going to say that too, if I had a grand mal it can take me a whole day to recuperate. He sounds like someone who got their information from Wikipedia. Many people can not stop their anti-convulsants after 4 years that is so false. It’s crazy because when you have a grand mal it feels like it’s been hrs when it’s only been like 3 minutes.
Well they are sort of right since most people can recover between 15 to 30 minutes (I have epilepsy and I normally recover around 30 minutes or so) but in some cases it can be longer than that since it’s different for everyone.
thanks for sharing this! My Dad is really ill, and now he adds epileptic symptoms to his dementia. I will start reading up on this neurological condition today. I am thankful you share this.
This video is very important. My brother has severe refractory epilepsy and there needs to be more awareness for the neurological condition! I myself made a short documentary about my brother's story, and am a strong believer that videos (especially on youtube) are a great way to spread awareness. Good job!
Rest in paradise Cameron Boyce💔💔
@Dab yes
@Dab yes sadly, for Cameron Boyce and I believe also Juice World (who is a rapper) both passed away from epileptic seizures :(
RIP CAMERON 💔😥🙏
Smh r.i.p Cameron 😔💔 this condition is to effective ..
I have mynoclonic epilepsy. When I wake up in the morning, I’ll get a seizure. And this happens once a month. My seizures last 30 secs. Then my body rests and I’m sleeping. After that I sleep the whole day. Now I have full awareness of my seizures. If my body doesn’t feel right and I start to jolt, I go on the ground and wait. Now I’m still taking meds and I have absent seizures. But I do get the spacing out.
My big brother have been suffering from this illness for the last 20 years. He takes medicines regularly but still haven't recovered from this illness. The one thing i noticed that whenever he uses his brain too much he suffers from this illness or sometimes when he's way too angry about something and keep talking about stuffs. Then shortly after he falls. We've taken him to almost a 10-20 doctors but still nothing much have changed :(. He was only 4 years old when he got this illness. Please pray he recovers soon.
As en epileptic I can assure you that epilepsy is for life. Drugs just helps to control epilepsy and can't cure.
Very educative .. my girlfriend is suffering from this and I feel like I popped too late in her life to be of any help , she hates taking so much medication and hopes to stop but its been so many years since she started . I feel like her family neglected her
Thank you for all the information, I really appreciate it. I was diagnosed with epilepsy a few months ago that starts in the parietal lobe and then spreads into the rest of my brain and caused the tonicoclonic seizures, happening every 2 days, always at night and with an aura of intense vertigo, with no apparent cause, so I wanted to learn more about all the terms my neurologist gave me and know what the heck it all meant, so thank you so much 🙏 😊
When your biology teacher starts talking about epilepsy out of the blue and you are an epileptic never felt so uncomfortable in my life 😬😓
Merra Gohar I didn't have that I just had a doctor put me on a drug for a bit until I was sorted I was walking around school like a bloody zombie
Our literature teacher started reading about Dostoevsky's epilepsy and describing his auras, deliriums and seizures to every detail, it made me uncomfortable to listen to descriptions of a seizure and I wanted to speak up every time she made a mistake about epilepsy, saying that there's foam coming out of people's mouths and that it's inheritable...
But you know what's worse? When they skip anything to do with the brain because they think you'll get offended! Like, seriously. My old teacher didn't know I have epilepsy so he taught us about epilepsy and other conditions to do with the brain but this year my teacher knew I have it so they didn't say anything about epilepsy [insert facepalm]

@@lauradavid521 hey can you share the link pls
How was it treated?
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.

Boyce??
one of my friends had epilepsy while walking on road
i was shocked and scared while people around gossiping that we took drugs
nobody helped us i took him hospital alone
People judges too quickly!
Many people don't even know epilepsy exist
Chaos Knight That’s crazy, considering that it’s more common than we think
Right, it’s a lot more common than people think, but when usually people think about a seizure, first thing that comes to mind is gran Mal seizures. A lot of people don’t know about the other ones. I have complex partial seizures.
That never happend to me but I dont shake I stare so ya but I hope your friend is ok
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. Morning time when I wake up I have to give myself about 5 mins before getting up and moving about before work. You can have a normal life, just be careful
Matty Domi thank you. Soo true. I can relate.

Who is Cameron?
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
I had my first seizure about 5 years ago. Now I’m having them more frequently. I had my last seizure on Tuesday of this week :(. I was just diagnosed as epileptic by my doctor on Tuesday as well. I want to learn more about it.
How is it going
My experience. Stress plays a big roll in my frequency of fits. While running and gym for two years. No fits. I've stopped for 4 months and two fits since then. I'm pushing myself back to fitness
Whenever I have seizures, it usually takes me 2 days before I feel strong enough to go back to my everyday routine. It's hard for me to walk around afterwards and my legs feel very heavy
The video is very important for us. I have been with Epilepsy since 1999 up today, I have been to hospital and when through Medication but still on able to recover. The only medice my Doctor as me to use at this moment is Carbamazepine. Life is very difficult for me with it. Low Educational knowledge

Hi ive had generalized epilepsy now for bout 12 years nd for others suffering its hell never knowing when or how its going to affect u,after so long its not even about the gmals ne more, its the euphoric depression, jobs, ppl leaving,u leaving ppl,psychiatric diagnosis that come with mine was much more untreatable for a long time,and things r starting to look up from the meds im on nd taking better care of myself,fired 2 jobs for seizures,nd im 29 im unemployed,cant live alone so im staying with dad for over a year now but its definitely made me a stronger person,stronger than ppl who have so much more and dnt do ne thing.so if u r epileptic it's hard I've wanted to curl up and die plenty of times,but changing as a person is harder and mt experience from being epileptic is life is similar because u can never truly know the outcome so let go of the expectation and learn from your suffering the best u can and do something every day to make it better that's something you have control over,not seizures ur life
I’ve had epilepsy as long as I remember and I’m almost 16, the last time my doctor weened me off my medication I had a seizure a year later and had to stay the night in the hospital, and my doctor said I may have to be on medication for the rest of my life, because all the seizures I’ve had were really serious once’s.

@@thangboihaokip6950 Epilepsy isn't a disease. Diseases are contagious and brain disabilities aren't. :)
I've had epilepsy since I was born and had the seizures since I was 8 (that's over 20 years now). I may not be able to drive, get a job, or live alone, but it did make an 8 year old girl fall in love with biology. Especially epidemiology (the study of anything that can fuck up your body). :)
Most of this information is incorrect if he was talking about any type of seizure other than a specific type of seizure. Although he is talking about a type of seizure, it is an uncommon type and he should have been much more specific.
Thank you, thank you so much! I am now no longer ashamed that I am temporarily epileptic based on the fact that medication can be stopped if I take the medication consistently for 3 years or so. It gives me hope that I can indeed overcome this illness with faith and discipline.
I only have epileptic seizures at night and when I get up I don't feel my body and bit my tongue. It takes almost a day to recover halfway and the tongue even 2 to 3 days. I had that several times a week, I couldn’t concentrate and forgot things. Now i take medication it helps but i still don’t feel very good in the morning . I dont want to imagine what would happen without them . I have epilepsy. Since im 3 years old.
If anyone else made this experience a comment would be nice 👍

I have Epilepsy. I have been beaten and arrested for having a seizure in a Walmart. I have been ostracized by people who claim I'm demonically possessed. My own mother blamed Marilyn Manson, when she was the one that forced the Ritalin down my throat and caused me to develop it before I even hit my teens. It is a nightmare that I would never wish on my worst enemy.
I just discovered I have epilepsy and is quite refreshing to see how lovely word it the video was thank you for encouraging me to continue studying and no be a shame of my illness

Cameron Boyce died because of this. Rest in peace Cameron Boyce 1999-2019😔
I think I experience sleep-type epilepsy, but only once every 3-5 months. I don't think treatment is a must though for me. I don't think it can get any worse than this. The only thing that worries me is if I have a brain tumor, but Idk, I have been dealing with it for more than 5years, so I think more symptoms would have appeared by now if I had a tumor. I will be keeping an eye on it for a few months, If I ever feel it threatens my life or had stronger proof that I have experienced it, I will definitely contact a doctor.

Use of vibrant colors in some parts of the video

Welcome to the club
@@chilipepper71 well thanks 😁 it sucks
i have youth epilepsy which means it will probably only hunt my childhood, (i’m almost 15 now) i think it’s wrong to call it a disease, it’s not like covid or the flu, it’s something you are born with or slowly develops, you can’t do anything about it, i have to take medication everyday and the medication makes me tired/mildly tired throughout the whole day, but i still believe i have a future.
(quick note for those who bully epileptic people like me, we can’t do shit about it, if you think it’s funny then you should feel how it is to have it yourself.)
According to video , seizures ranges in minutes while I have many seizures that were just for seconds but they were to dangerous but now after one year of proper meditation , I am fine like I was before epilepsy
Is this The Infographics Show?
I've had second seizure in about year and half couple days ago and this video gave me much needed piece of mind if I gonna be ok. Thank you so much for this vid ♥️
I stopped smoking weed and I started having seizures, how I found out.
Justin Van Keimpema I smoke too, try cbd
I have been on a dual treatment for the past 21 years. I can attest that you can live a normal as long as you take your medication as directed. You also need enough sleep I will caution that you go for regular check-ups and be as open as possible because it may save your life in case you start suffering from the side effects of the medication.
Is this why cameron boyce passed? Sorry if i offend anyone but im just wondering
Yes sadly
I have every single type of seizures!
I am ashamed until that video helped.
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. Sure other people do have multiple conditions, diseases disorders, and nobody wants to give you a chance to contribute to society because of those issues. 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.
my son was newly diagnosed and it is very scary for both. He will be starting treatment this week and I have soooooo much anxiety but I want him to continue to be great without the condition interfering with his everyday life. I'm too trying to learn eveeeerrryythhing. Pray for us. Thanks for the video.🙏

I have it and I was diagnosed with it when I was 6. I had 3 seizures in my life and it was horrible. I also been cyberbullied because of it. People said my seizures were “Harmless” but I could have died from seizures. I had a seizure when I was 6. And Another One When I was 7, I had a seizure and everybody prayed for me and hoped I was ok. I had my last seizure when I was 10, And I rode in an ambulance and woke up in the hospital. I was very upset. Now I am Almost 13 and I no longer have seizures. And that is my story!
You must've had grandma or grandpa seizure they are dangerous
Question, not to rude but how long were your seizures and what type were they? As in grand mal, complex partial or absent? The three core type of seizures?
@@laurahero8778 I’m not sure, I think they have to be tonic seizures. Two of them were the same type while the third was a different type. Somehow, I was aware of my surroundings. I had a fourth seizure as well, but it was minor and I didn’t need to get taken to the hospital. I can’t keep track for how long, but I think they lasted for a couple hours.
@@gAm3r_GuRl984 Oh thank you for replying. As for someone who has more repetitive yet quick seizures this is quite fascinating but horrible. I would never want of course neither of ours. It’s just mine comes daily, or hopefully weekly but in minutes. It’s just like, which ones are worse due to timing?
@@laurahero8778 I’m not sure
Something about this vid gives me bad vibes

I am an epileptic patient suffering from this since last 12 years and I have total 5 fits Allhumdulliha eating medicine on daily basis and this video was very helpful
I know a doctor that can also help you get rid of it permanently he also save my life he can also help get rid of other illness......Kindly send me your WhatsApp number or email address so I can forward it to the doctor
I have Epilepsy and this video is just wrong sorry. First the meds take along time to figure out which ones work for you in my case and many people have to take multiple I take 12 pills daily which have come down, with many side affects. After a gal mal it take me 3 to 4 day to recover depending on how bad . Not no 15 mins that is horrible for you guys to put out. Also you should add the fact the there is suped even if low add the stats for that .which many people In the public eye recently have died from and people I know have died from . Horrible.
claud 29 some patients experience different symptoms than others. This is a generalized presentation for the public. It isn’t made to fit just one persons symptom.
It's still a bad video. It's not a general video there isn't even a black person represented in the video. This video I m sorry to say is from an Asian country. This video is not representation of everyone! So don't put it out. That's the problem with RUclips. Talk about it. Don't do a cartoon. Go to epilepsy society and get info there.

I know someone personally who has epilepsy and I have trued to learn a lot about it
Mera baccha ek din uske frnds ke sath swimming krne gaya tha. To achanak swimming krte smy mere bete ko first time mirgi ka ztka aaya. Uske frnds the sath me isliye acha hua. Uske baad use mirgi ke ztke aana chalu ho gaya. Ekdm achanak se mai aur uske papa tension me aagaye the. Kuch smj nahi aa raha tha kya kre. Najane kitne hospital me dikhaya lekin kuch fayda nahi hua. Baad me uske papa ko branocon syrup aur assicon syrup ke bare me pata chala ye Ayurvedic medicine hone ke karan Uske papa ne ye amazone se online mangwaya aur humne use is medicine ke doses dena chalu kr diya. Usko 5 mahine se branocon syrup aur assicon syrup de rahi hu tab se ek bhi baar mirgi ztka nahi aya. Ab maine uski sari medicine bhi bnd kr di hai./;'
I had up to ten to fifteen fits a day and I had to sleep it off until I was given some new tables in year 1999 and I started fading out my fits and I’ve not had a fit since year 2000 taking my new tablets
such great cartoons!! that is exactly how i feel!! lol
This video helped me a lot.... I am also an epileptic patient.
After I had epilepsy and after the seizure is over I can’t feel or use my left side.
And I only got them in the winter at night time. And my whole body starts jerking. I always feel that it is coming and call my mom
You can handle epilepsy very easily by Bach Flower Remedies. Every day at night take Bach flower remedies: White Chestnut, Walnut, Crap Apple and Aspen.
During the day take Star of Bethlehem and Mimulus, 3 to 4 drops twice a day.
This will decrease the frequency of the attack. During the attack put Rescue Remedy in a cup of water and put the water on the lip of the patient for every 2 or 3 minutes.
After two months of taking these remedies, the epilepsy attack will come to almost to zero.
After the episodes are over continue with Star of Bethlehem alone for two to three months.

I’ve had epilepsy when I was 10 and 11 it took me 6 years to recover from it but I had this medical bottle to get back to normal after that
im here because my bitlife character died of epilepsy at the age of 12
I hope I dont die bc I'm 12 but R.I.P. bitlife character
@@sm0llqueen289
It's funny but I hope that I die.
I missed my meds for 3 days because I was so focused on the dream job I had, I wanted to do my best to impress my clients and partners. All this dedication cost me my career. I had 1 seizure at work, and that's all it took. My doctor was pissed, and my therapy was dragged back 4 years of prudent medication. Since my work required national and overseas travel, my doctor told my employer that I was not fit to travel. And just like that, my employer wasn't happy but they had to let me go. I was a 1-time district Boxing champion and 1-time district MMA champion and prime figure in various other sports. No punch in the world could ever knock me out but this one was a bitch. I am 100% sure if they knew about my condition back then, they wouldn't even let me compete in school and college. I am not sure it's my fault that I am Epileptic and as competent and competitive as normal people or it's just people who like to exploit the best excuse to reduce the competition by telling me it's for my own health. I could be content with the fact if I was intellectually impotent, however, being the smartest in the room and still deprived of opportunities because I take 1 stupid drug and I might not function without it, I just can't wrap my head around this helplessness.
I had some sort of seuizure today, my parents could not wake me up and i was not responding to anything. All i Remember was waking up and going to the hospital. The Doctor took scannings of my heart and brain, it all came out good. Tommorow however I will do one last MRA of the brain, exactly how portrayed in this video to see if I had a epileptic seuizure yesterday. Hope it all comes out good, even though this video says people with epileptic seuizeres can function as every other normal human being this is not quite true. At least in my country, you cant get a drivers license if you are epileptic nor serve the military for example. I am joining the military soon and plan on taking the drivers license too which is i why I really hope i am not diagnosed with epilepsy.
I had dreams just like you but when I was diagnosed with epilepsy life lost meaning.
Epilepsy isn't a disease, it's a disorder.
💜🎗️
Non native english speaker here.
What is the difference?
A disease is distinct and measurable.
A disorder might indicate that a specific disease is possible, but there is not enough clinical evidence for diagnosis.
@@rebeccamichael626 Oh, ok, thanks.
I thought disorder was used only in psicological or psychiatric areas, not neurologic.💕
At about 11:00 mins in, I love how the doctor elbows the faith healer away!
I just hope everyone who suffers this don't have epileptic attacks in the worst moment possible.
Thank you im trying not to have one now and trying to go to sleep
I just found out that what's been happening to me for the last year and half. I didn't know they were absence seizures. Now I'm learning all I can.

There are so many cases of siezures not documented of what all they cause a person to do and act out. I was beat by my local sheriff's department for resisting while they were trying to cuff me while having a siezure and anyone with epilepsy knows you can't control how your body goes stiff feeling you can't bend any joints in your body and of how your being treated while having one will make the outcome of the siezure even worse if your being treated like a felon being beat and tazed that make the epileptic go into a violent stage to we're they think everyone is out to hurt them. Is there anyone else who feels like this during a seizure?...
i have experienced what seems to be an epileptic fit recently. the first time, my brother noted that i was having convulsions and was jerking my leg randomly. As far as I knew it lasted under 5 minutes. The second time (yesterday) i felt myself pass out but i woke up about 20 seconds later. My friend noted that it looked like I was also having convulsions (apparently my eyes or head was shaking quite a bit).
I remember both times it was hot, I felt dizzy and could feel it coming but could not actually remember the pain/falling down. Fortunately this did not interfere much with my day but we are going to get this checked out by a neurologist.
Why i feel like this was animated by Kurzgesagt?
Like if you agree

Stock animations?
@Aggressive Tubesock don't be so mean pls
Epilepsy is a medical term for seizures (seizures are a symptom of an underlying problem). In the case of Epilepsy, it could be do to head trauma (causing malfunctioning in the brain), a imbalance of the micronutrients needed for your body to function properly (all of the electrolytes (electrically charged minerals) as well as B6 (due to an imbalance) can result in a seizure). 30% of patients diagnosed with epilepsy aren't epileptic (John's Hopkins Study) they actually have difficulty handling stress. Seizures can also be caused be elemental metal toxicity (example: mercury toxicity).
