Effects of partial seizure

Sun, 04/14/2013 - 16:11
I live alone and am affected by nocturnal tonic and partial seizures. I've always wondered: is it possible for someone to move the affected limbs or body of someone having a seizure, whether it is a partial or tonic-clonic seizure? What happens when they attempt to move you? And if that other person does move your limbs or body, could they bring you out of the seizure?

Hi, and thanks for the kind advice.  I have given a spare key to my brother who lives 10 min away.  I recently moved into a a condo building, and don't really know anyone enough to give them a spare key.  But I'll work on it :)
