Seizure Auras: What Do They Feel Like? Can You Stop One? Read Article...

.y mom thought I was daydreaming, it wasn't till my kindergarten teacher brought it to her attention that I very possibly was having seizures since she was familiar with them. Shockingly my mom listened to her and we ended up getting me checked out. It was petite mal seizures as they were called back than. I still get them but never had anything else along with them. Being that they are generalized seizures which fall in with tonic clonic and they also can make you loose urine during them it makes sense that it can happen with the absence. I would use diapers if it's a regular thing if you don't loose a lot of urine you could just use poise pads or some other brand. I've never had it happen to me personally but I wear a thin pad just in case I ever have any leakage.

I never had Gran Mal Seizures. They called them Petit-Mal at 7, when I was diagnosed.
