Seizures In Public?
A MyEpilepsyTeam Member asked a question 💭

Has anyone had a seizure in public? I have had them and am so embarrassed because I was an appointment for a meeting and had one. Not only did the person I was with see it but she got the entire office and EMS. I know I shouldn't be embarrassed but I hate being out in public whrlej I have one. How do you guys handle that?. I'm really embarrassed.

I never remember them until they get me awake and tell me and still I am confused and arguing with them that I didn’t have a seizure

I've had several in public. At work and an interview. Extremely embarrassing, but people have more concern for your safety. I want a dog, but they are expensive.
