Hello, My name is Danny I am 27 and have been dealing with seizures since 2004. Never before that date have i had one sigh of seizures. it has been one of the worst and hardest battles i have been dealing with also. one questions i have is that the seizures i have are weird, starting like this all the seizures i have had to this day were at night after i had woken up from sleeping, i would wake up have to pee and in a sweat which is weird.  also i have never had any during the day but i have had several grand mal seizures at night like i said. so if anyones has any ideas why this happens please let me know and hope all of you are doing better with your epilepsy.

Hey, I know you wrote this a long time ago but I just wanted to say that I have seizures in the same way. Ill be sleeping and if something or someone wakes me up ill go into convulsions. I can sometimes remember the very beginning, the part where I know I "don't feel good" and jittery but after that I have no idea. Ive woken up with paramedics around me several times, and the thing about me if I'm just starting to go into a seizure I want to do stuff, like get up, walk out, go to the bathroom and all while I'm convulsing and know I shouldn't be on my feet but the seizure just makes me so compelled to do SOMETHING. Ive been having seizures since I was 15 and I was sleeping and the phone rang. I can never be woken up cause Ill have a seizure. Oh by the way my name is Barbara and I'm 28 years old living in Miami, FL, USA. I hope your better and that your children are in good health. reply if you want cause I would love to talk to someone that has the same type of problem I do. Bye

Hello, I have never been told what kind of seizures or episode that I have and it is so frustrating. I just saw about nocturnal seizures while searching the web last night and it kinda sounds like what I have/get. I have had MANY tests and all have showed nothing, I am fully aware of what is goin on during these episodes. they happen at nght in the early morning hours and feels like I am being electricuted, I feel jerky inside and it usually begins with the right side of my body. Touching me can trigger a full episode, please help me if you can...

My name is Kylie. I hae epilepsy since only a few weeks old...Just since September I have been having noctonal seizures, I will usually injure myself in my bed or get up and re arrage things in my room, a few times I have turned on my light and gone back to bed...I do usually wake up for a few seconds and roll over right before. I had one about two months ago and I got up, fell down the stairs (both my parents were awake but neither noticed that this happend to me). Crawled into my brothers bed (we switched rooms about 8 years ago when my seizures were getting really bad in the day and my dad was not yet retired then my mom would actually let me A) sleep after a seizure or B) get into a bed. She did not want me alone downstairs. So anyways Got up went to the bathroom, went back to bed in my brothers bed, then woke up...my dad started doing laudry in the next room. Realized what happened tried to treat the bruises on my back, neck and head and tried to sleep for another half hour...didnt work...but tried
