tonic-clonic or convulsive seizures (formerly known as grand mal). had it happen to me first time yesterday while doing some grocery shopping in AZ. I remember getting blurred vision, then immediately dizziness. I was midway crashing to the floor when I lost of consciousness. Although no one could tell me details as paramedics arrived towards the end of my seizure. It must of been past 5 mins to make a medical emergency call. Got transported to the ER to get checked out, tests came back negative. Being referred to a neurologist now. Wish me luck 👍

This has been amazing to watch for me. I ended up having seizures after my 2nd Vaccine...to start off the were lasting up to 46 minutes to an hour with 1/2 hour breaks in between. All upper body with a lock of the head to the left every time, severe convulsions of the head, some jerking movements in the right arm, fingers, right toes and sometimes in the right leg. Always conscious with a severe stuttering of the speech.
4 years later I still have the same seizures. 1 has lasted 5 hours with just the head and speech being attacked. I've been diagnosed with whiplash from the neck trauma and diagnosed as a dillisional paranoid schizophrenic by the Health Crisis team and neurologist called it a functional seizure of that's even a thing caused by delayed PTSD this is in NZ.
I have been passed on from dr to dr, ridiculed and laughed at, called a liar by hospital staff after a seizure saying I put it on.
I finally pulled out my Atlas on the human body and started doing my own research then found this site and it all makes sense.
I've lost everything to these seizures, my home, my job, my car, motorbike, friends, family and live in a fearful state of mind 24/7 there is no help here in NZ I just have to ride these seizures out on my own.
I'm grateful for these videos where I can make sense of what's happening to me. Thankyou so much

This is so good to know as I’ve just as of last year been diagnosed with epilepsy having heaps of nocturnal seizures and have had one grand mal seizure that went upto 10 minutes .

I was told by my specialist (many years ago) that I had partial complex seizures, but from this video it is clear that I have atonic seizures. Thank you for the clarification, it is nice to know they are not partial complex seizures because I always found that to be a phrase meaning the doctor can't fit the seizure into any particular category

You don’t know how much you help me. I became epileptic after a grade II brain tumor my doctor never explained my seizures, I always thought they weren’t gran mal after all they are. I don’t lose conscious, sometimes after the seizure I can get up others I stay there for a while. Thank you for explain how this works, I have auras as well know I understand. It as been three years without understanding any of this horrible disease.

I’m 24 years old and was just diagnosed with epilepsy. Had my first seizure in my ambulance at work. Lasted about 3 minutes and was a grand mal. My neurologist had me hooked up for 3 days to an EEG machine and she said I was having 1-2 second seizures all day long without showing any signs

This is helpful as I was given this diagnosis

What type of seizures causes someone's eyes to roll around, turn catatonic, make gurgling noises, vomit, and lose control of their bowels? My mother sometimes has seizures.

Even though her seizures aren't on a regular basis (Thank God!), they vary in type. Yesterday she had an episode but I don't know if it would qualify as a seizure because she was still conscious.

My mother told us that she was light-headed and had to go to the bathroom. Before I could dump our kitchen trash she slid off our living couch onto our floor and began vomiting. Luckily, she did NOT fall and hit her head and was already wearing her diaper.

While my mother was on our floor, she had a bowel movement as she continued vomiting. In addition, her legs, feet, and ankles are swollen from her blood pressure and water pills. She complained that her legs were numb and struggled to stand up and use her cane and rollator, while we tried holding her up.

Do you know if there are certain blood pressure and water pills that cause seizures?

My mother didn't start having seizures until 16 years ago. Normally, she would have them every March or April. However, she DID have a seizure several years ago literally the day after Christmas.

Thankfully my mother did NOT have this medical emergency on my grandmother's 82nd birthday, which was on Veterans Day, because that would've ruined the holiday and her birthday.

I was diagnosed with epilepsy when I was 12. The aftermath of a tonic-clonic seizure, depending on how long the seizure lasts, I can be sore up to 6 weeks, I'm very tired, and sometimes bite my tongue or get cuts inside my mouth from falling on my face.
Thanks to meds I typically only have multi-complex seizures 2-3 a month (maybe more, but not recorded). I live by myself with my service dog. My multi-complex seizures last from a few seconds to 45 minutes.

I've had Two in five weeks after never having one before. Scary stuff.

Before my son had his first tonic-clonic seizure, he experienced absent seizures. At the time, we didn't see this but in retrospect now we do. Examples: He'd be sitting at the kitchen table and talking, and then space out or rest his head upon the table. Then, he told me that when he was showering he'd fall asleep, then wake up. Which, freaked me out. I just thought it was due to up late studying. Sadly now I know the real cause of it. Both are generalized seizures. He experienced absent seizures before the tonic-clonic ones, which is normal. During his diagnosis EEG, he experienced an absent one and later that night a tonic-clonic.

U r awesome teacher I learned a lot from u hat up

[andreaephlin]

i remember nana used to say when i was in elementary school teachers would get mad at me for not paying attention in class because i was looking out the window and it was mostly new teachers or teachers who didnt know about epilepsy but i could be in a seizure for a long while before someone who knew me noticed that i was having a seizure

[veegeniesse]

Just hot my epilepsy diagnosis on the 8th. I've been pretty down about it, but watching this video made me feel a little better. 😍🤤 dayum

[binkybunnysway]

Very very intersting. There's a channel here called my journey to be seizure free she has so many and outs them in YouTube but I've had seizures that are epileptic that have landed me in the icu. Pnes means it's functional right? Which means concious?

[shey]

Can you explain how a myoclonic seizure falls under a generalized seizure category as only one muscle group is involved...

[benink]

My doctor said provoked or unprovoked, both are considere epileptic. I get them either way, but usually the worst ones are provoked by new food/med/drug.
