I had a grand mal seizure, at the age of 6 or 7. I had a horrible headache prior to my episode, but no aura. I was seizure free until age 12 or 13, when I experienced the same type of headache, followed by a grand mal seizure. I was put on Phenobarbital with Dilantin, which took for about 10 years. I experienced another grand mal seizure a few months later, while I was hospitalized for an appendectomy. I hadn't been given my epilepsy medication. I was put on Tegretol in my mid 20's. I didn't… read more

I ask my girlfriend, my best friend or my brother (if I can't do it myself). I used to be fluent in Spanish.
I tend to see things when I have my seizures. It's really crazy. One time when they had to revive me, it was like I could see them from above working on me and shocking me with the paddles. Other times it's like I see things constantly that I know aren't there. I see stuff like wavy lines, curvy spikes and colors and crazy looking designs for stuff in my head. I want to use what I see to help me later on to become a glass artist like Dustin Revere. Dude busted his ass despite being an epileptic… read more
My parents won't record mine. They're too crazy lol. I get really bad TC seizures sometimes and man you are so sore after waking up from 10-30 of those things
Mine is when it took like a mix of 7 or 8 security guards and a couple psych ward nurses to get me in a straight jacket. Can't remember if that was the time I was dead for 7 minutes or the guards. Was tripped out over both of these cause when the security guards had to hold me down I managed to bite one, he was cool about it though 😂

Hello, which of you have temporal lobe epilepsy? What medications do you use and how well have you controlled the attacks?
I am aware that surgery is appropriate.
Which of you practice homeopathy and what?
Thanks in advance for the answers!
How are you feeling today?
You might try venting the window if there is one. This will get rid of steam. Use Liquid soap on the puffer ball. Relaxation is the key. Do it before Mom's awake or the night before . ericthom3
