To Whom It May Concern: Your video has provided me necessary context to support my husband who suffered a massive stroke in March 2022. His recovery was going remarkably well. Then, I and other family members would notice the jerking spasms (myoclonic), additionally, he seemed to 'space out,' in the middle of conversations and literally stare into the air without responding to his name being called or even being touched lightly (absence). Finally, at night he would have some light jerking (partial) that would transition into more violent convulsions (secondary general seizure). My husband states that he can't feel himself having any of these episodes; yet, there are times when he holds his hand or arm during the course of a myoclonic jerking/partial seizure. He says he can't recall ever having an episode (postical confusion?). His long-term monitoring study is coming up the week of Thanksgiving. This video has definitely afforded me quite the picture (literally) of what we may be up against. Thank you for your work in educating others on epilepsy and seizure disorder.

I have absent seizures. However, I am awake and alert. There is always something on your mind whether it be words, music, things, etc. But when I have a seizure, there's nothing. No words. No music, things, sounds, or colors. nothing. I am still conscious, meaning I can see and hear things and I understand I'm having a seizure. I just can't say more than 1 or 2 words. It can last between 5 - 25 seconds. The really weird part is that my EEG didn't show anything. My doctor gave me seizure meds just in case and now I don't get seizures as often. It happens when I'm under a lot of stress but I'm normally a pretty chill person. There is a great video called "Absence seizure caught on camera" by MyEpilepsyStory Brogan. It is legit EXACTLY what I go through. It's the video that made me realize I get seizures. I always thought it was a memory problem. Edit: There was only 1 time that really scared me and I finally went to the doctor. I was driving home from college and there was a car a safe distance in front of me. I was just driving along when suddenly I had a seizure and I wasn't conscious. When I came to (maybe 5 seconds later?), I was really close to the car in front of me and I was about to drive off the road. That's when I realized I needed to see a doctor.

I really wanna appreciate ❤ the way you have adopted, and your work, stay strong and high. Thanks 👍

I’m here because my neuro-pedia prof speaks jargon! Thank you for sharing this info to medstudents and people who want to learn!

this video is extremely helpful!! thanks for the good work!

thank you so much for posting this, literally saved my life before my midterms, you guys are so kind and nice.

I have epilepsy but I freez . Sometimes I remember mostly I don't and sometimes I am aware what is around me

This was really helpful, you just cut down hours into 8mins. Thank you so much :)

Had my first epileptic seizure today. It sucks but your video helped me understand it, thanks

My all doubt regarding subtype of epilepsy is cleared now.. Really thankful..

This is a great summary of seizure disorders in such a short time!

Thank you! This clear video presentation really helps! More power to you!

I have had epilepsy since 4 years old. Very happy to be seizure free after surgery 😊

it is really an amazing thing for you to have bought this video from osmosis and distribute it freely to all of us. thank you so much

Amazing explanation!! Thanks for the good work

Thanks for this video! It really helped clearing out why my dr thinks I might have this.

My medicine exam in 2021 will save me because of you ❤️❤️❤️

I love this video, it was very informative and helped me write my pathophysiology research paper on seizures. Thank you so much!!!

Extremely interesting, as I suffer both kinds of epilepsy falling and losing consciousness and absences too, am now 52 years old, my mother said I have the seizures due to a forceps delivery at birth, but unfortunately this is not definite, they started when I was 6 years old, but little was know then as now, I had a number of eegs’ at that time, and have taken numerous medications over the years too, would to see more of your videos great stuff 👍🥇

This video cleared it up! My book for nursing school was so contradictory, as if its written by more than one person and noone to check it thoroughly... well now i get it!

Thank you so much for your videos. Very clear and easy to understand.

im really enjoy to watch it! thanks to input me. hope my presentation today is well. thank you so much for the information

This has been very helpful. I've had 2 grand mal seizures in the last 5 months. My poor tongue is so scared 😔 Anyway I'm finally getting an eeg in the next few days. Aeeg 72 hours . I'm not going to lie, kinda scared.

Thank you for the clear video!

I was seizure free till, 56 years, then had a severe generalised. Hospital, coma and meds followed. Now for 10 years I have occasional simple partials every week or so. I also have complex partials, and have noticed they follow the lunar cycle, often happening 2 days after a full moon. I’ve kept a diary for 9 years and there is a very strong correlation. Question - has anybody else seen similar patterns?

*who's here in 2019* --Thank you so much this was very help.. keep the good work 😇

It working in 2022 also ...thank u for the sharing information

A friend of mine had a stroke last weekend during a game of Evolution, which is a board game with cards. The interesting thing is, he's only ever had 3 seizures in his life, 2 of which now happened while we were playing Evolution, which we do not play very often. My best guess is the first occurrence was random, and the second was somehow triggered by the memory of the first. However, the alternative would be that there is something inherently seizure inducing about the game. I'd love to hear some more informed opinions on which of these is more likely, and what could potentially be seizure inducing about a card game like that. We have banned him from playing the game, because we believe this can't be a coincidence, and even if it was, we shouldn't risk it regardless.

thank you for your effort it is very helpful

Outstanding Video Great Work Stay Blessed

Alwayssss helpful👍 thank you so much

I have epilepsy. This is so helpful. Honestly if everyone could watch this it would be great!’

My boyfriend has epilepsy. Thanks for the upload! Very interesting!

Hello your videos are always very helpful. I'd just like to update, focal seizures are now subclassified based on effect of seizure on awareness. It's either "focal seizure with intact awareness" or "focal seizure with impaired awareness".

Thnkz 😍for your efforts it is so helpfull

thanku for making this topic super easy. it is really helpful.

You the best on presentation I salute you

Anyone know if an active seizure (as in lots of flailing about, falling out of bed etc.) is "worse" than an outwardly calm one? I've had a variety and I'm surprised that the seemingly placid fits are routinely followed by the nastiest headaches. So, is the additional activity due to being in a shallower sleep (i.e. closer to consciousness) or something, 'cos the after-effects are generally less painful for me.

Thank you so much

It was really helpful ... I really appreciate it

A very informative video, very many thanks. I have experienced all types of seizures during my life, depending on what’s going on, stressed, worry etc. However, I just wish someone could explain why I also suddenly have seizures whereby I’m completely conscious, but experience an awful burning, either in my head or stochastic or chest? When it’s over I just can’t stop crying, sometimes for an hour or more. Any help would be gratefully appreciated

Amazing, thanks

Thought I had epilepsy, turns out I have ptsd and stress/dissociation can cause seizures. The brain remembers, and the body does too.

This video is amazing. Thanks !

Thank you so much for the Videos, These are very helpful for a Quick Prep for Exams Purposes 👏👏

This was very helpful! Way more helpful than my neurologist.

Many many thanks.

great work, I learned a lot

I think I had seizure today. I haven’t had anything like this before. I was in online class when I started to zone out(or so I thought) and then I blacked out. I woke up because I thought my upper body was jerking but when I fully came back to my senses it had stopped. My head was light after this and didn’t know how much time had passed. I thought I would pass out again. I was very confused and frightened because I couldn’t remember passing out or at least feeling like passing out. Last thing I remember was spacing out. I still don’t know if it was seizure or I just spaced out( it’s what my parents said when I told them what had happened).

thank you so much! very informative and easy to understand :)

great work!!

Thank you very much

Thank You For This Video.

Thank you for such a detailed video. Now i understand more abt why n how i m experiencing wht i m experiencing. Its so much helpful to know cause, symptoms and everything related.

Tons of misconceptions received with thanks 🙂

Thanks for the lesson

Please do make a separate video about absence.

I was diagnosed with a seizure disorder at 2, told I would grow out of it by 10. However that changed when I was 11 and spent 2 weeks in KU med. center for more studying because nothing was working. I have had tonic-clonic seizures as well as absence seizures most of my life, though I have been dealing with myoclonic for at least 10 years now, I always felt like it was caused by my epilepsy but my neurologist always brushed it off as just regular muscle spasms so I haven't thought much on it since. However I noticed the muscle twitches were getting worse and decided to do some of my own research and came across your video. I just want to thank you so much for helping me feel less crazy! As well as getting this information out there, seizures can be deadly if not properly monitored and so many people don't have a clue how to handle a person having a seizure, could you make a video on that? I would love to be able to show my co-workers and my bosses they have been asking me for information on how to help and seeing as I'll be the one having the seizure I don't really know how to explain to them what to do.

Great video !!!

Thank you 😊

Always happy to watch videos in this youtube channel, i can learn easily. Thankyou.

very nice and illustrative

I was diagnosed with epilepsy when I was 16. I had my first seizure the summer before my 17th birthday. I've only had a handful of tonic-clonic seizures. Mine are usually absence or myoclonic. I can't tell you how many times I've fallen and/or dropped stuff. Food was wasted, plates and cups were broken. Even broke a couple Brita pitchers. My knees are in bad shape. I'm a mess.

Helpful and simple

Epilepsy is what Cameron Boyce had which is brain damage disorder we will all miss him and he is in our hearts amen 🙏🏾

Awesomely informative and perfectly explained! Thank you so much! 😊😊 30/7/2019

Do you have a transcription for this video?

Just got diagnosed with Epilepsy a few days ago, and i'm 20. Sucks because now my life at university might be put on hold as the medication i will be taking might lead to side effects.

Thank you! I've fallen down a rabbit hole of seizures and other neurological stuff, because I watched this one tiktok.😟

Please don't get panic over this...u all can recover and even cure if u have a belief in whatever medicine u are taking... Just take good diet be stress free and take good sleep.. U all can be seizure free

Very helpful

Still can`t find the symptoms I experienced. I had intense dizziness and vomiting.

Hey I have a question my brother has seizures and he screams and can’t stop moving a lot will he live or die

2021- prepping for revalida

you are great

Very informative

I've been experiencing this seizure headaches since I was 9, back I didn't know what was going on with my body but as time passed I became aware of this seizures at the age of 14, I've haven't gone for treatment yet, recently started researching about it am from Nigeria how do I go about it

Tq

I have blackouts often when it stops i dont know what time or what day it is and take about 90 minute to recover one of my neurologists who i was seeing for many years said it might be seizures and that i may have epilepsy and gave me two kinds of antiseizure rx meds that actually really helps a lot with that and other symptoms but another neurologest who i saw for 5 minutes he said that was all nonsense i dont know what to think

I think I've had multiple seizures this year and in the past, so I went to the doctor after one. He gave me a referral to see a neurologist, but the earliest appointment available was three months out. So now I'm stressing because I don't know if something is wrong or not and I have to wait 3 months to find out.

Doing research for an oc

Iv had 5 seizures in 3 months I have never had one before that and I am a healthy 18 yearold

Gotta love it when people only come around when a celeb passes.

Thank you so muuuch ❤️

Great video, but is status epilepticus not considered >30m of seizures without return to consciousness between

Rest in paradise JARAD💔🦋
