My seizures last about 5 minutes (or less), although the seizure stops I still remain unconscious for long (anything between 10-40 minutes), should someone seek medical assistance or is it best to just to just wait it out. My neurologist says there is nothing they can do so best just to wait. It’s a terrible feeling and it’s a struggle to regain consciousness, move my limbs and open my eyes. I just want a second opinion to set my husband at ease when it happens.
It depends on the person

I seem to have different types of epilepsy? Is that possible or am I not remembering them accurately?
Yes it is possible to have more than one type of epilepsy
My daughter has been diagnosed with Jeavons Syndrome. We are waiting to see the neurologist and I can find hardly any information on this rare type of epilepsy.

What is :
"Mad diet"?
Question: Does anyone hear things around them when having a seizure. I think I just had one but seem to be aware of what’s happening. Just had trouble talking? Thank you for any input.
No awareness during seizures are absence seizures. I have them occasionally. I really wish there was a medication that was targeted to stop those seizures.
I have intractable epilepsy, but it doesn’t define @A MyEpilepsyTeam Member.
Hey all, I'm asking God to give all of us on My Epilepsy Team a seizure-free weekend.
