What Are The Types Of Seizures People Get
A MyEpilepsyTeam Member asked a question 💭

Like what is the difference between each different type and how do you know what type of seizures you have if your doctor hasn't told you what type you have. I can't tell you as I black out and from what i have been told I shake constantly until I come around with no memory of it !!! I was also wondering I hear people mention different types of seizures and i was wondering what the symptoms of each type of seizure ??

I have absence seizures. It's like a Time loss. I will do things or say things and have absolutely no memory of them. I also have blackouts but I don't shake during a blackout. You need to speak with your neurologist about what kinds that you're having. If he doesn't answer your questions maybe it's time to find a different neurologist. Good luck with it.

your body tells you whats wrong. i have phases of seizures that sometimes people see and others a not. the blackouts you are getting are grand mal seizures.

Tonic-clonic seizures involve shaking, loss of consciousness and possible bladder control, sometimes foaming at the mouth...
