I have had several friends that suffer from epilepsy, i didn't even know it myself until they told me so i would know what to do if they were acting or doing strange movements and such. All i know is what i've learned from those that have epilepsy, i didn't mean to sound like it was the answer, i know that must have been scarry. I had 3 seizures and was pronounced dead after each one all in a row. I'm on meds and havn't had one in over 4 years, i am also dignosed with several other disorders and such, schitzoaffective, bipolar, depression and others too. A neurologist is who i saw afterwards, he helped me greatly. i found out i have sleep apnea that is dibilitating when i can't get to sleep in the night.The next day is always horrible. i mentioned that some of my friends have epilepsy, and they just sit there and stare into space until the so called seizures go away.
