When Having A Seizure, And Not Knowing When Its Coming On. Does Anyone Else Have This Problem?
A MyEpilepsyTeam Member asked a question 💭

I've have seizures for sixteen years I'm eighteen now. Over the years, I have never been able to tell my friends, and family members when they are coming on. Does anyone else have this problem?

Not everyone have Auras. I'm clueless when or if I've had a seizure, unless I notice some type of clue after the seizure, telling me that I had one. So if I were walking and , I find myself on the floor or maybe I scraped part of my body, when I know that wasn't there a minute ago. My family and friends will tell me, if they see me having a spell.

In the past I would have am aura (sometimes called pre cursor) before the seizure. Maybe 15 second warning. MY SYMPTOMS (everybody has different ones) would be a ringing in the ear (usually one, rarely both) and an "electric" or "static" type sensation in the body. Best advice would be to educate your family/friends on epilepsy so when one hits they know what to do.
