I have cluster seizes quite a few times, and reading about them keeps me terrified. I can feel them coming but the feeling is very different than the others. Once it hits it feels like a very angry man. It will last a few seconds....stop long enough for me to take one deep breath then start again . It will keep going unti i past out.
