What goes on during a seizure? Do you remember anything/does it hurt?

Yes it true that she does not know she is having one, nor once she comes to did she know she had one. I have epileptic seizures and the only way I know that I have one is because I am usually getting loaded in the back of an ambulance because I have fallen and injured myself, or a friend or family member sees me having one and they tell me we have to go to the hospital because I have had a seizure. As for the pain,no pain is felt during an episode. The body is very sore afterwards for days, similar to the muscle aches you would feel after a very rigorous workout. But more intense. Every muscle in the body tightens up beyond its nornal limits.But while she Is having one she does not feel any pain, she is not aware she is having one, she would not even be aware she had one unless she was told she did. But unfortunately the after effects are what gets you as far as pain. And any injury sustained due to the seizure, i.e., a fall, like I had one at work one day and fell and cracked my head open. I didn't feel it until I woke up in the ambulance.Seizures are strange things. Very bizzarr.

I started having seizures when I was 14. I'm 46 now. Very well controlled on phenobarbital. What I have felt in the past. That the room was spinning so fast I wanted to vomit. This was only felt once medication was started but my body didn't have a build up of it yet. Someone holding your ✋ firmly through that is a comfort. But stroking the ✋ it hair Will intensify the feeling to vomit. My mom would always pray to Jesus for me and that comforted me. But without medication at all you feel nothing.

Hey, I'm sorry to hear all that. But answer this question....How would you feel if she was a small 19 month old baby turning bright blue and you had no clue what the heck was going on, how would you feel or respone to that? I hate my life now that I'm 18 yrs old and that is what I have dealt with all through my life. I actually have 2 types of seizures too. Mine are Grand-Mal(tonic clonic) and Complex-Partial. Does it hurt? No when you in one you don't know what is really happening everything kinda becomes a "blur". Memory? Well I can tell you what I was doing before I had the seizure and what I felt like but like I said I have had them for 17 yrs though too. When I have my Grand-mal seizure I drop to the floor and until I'm rolled to my side I flop around like a fish. Now the Complex-Partial I have my right side of my body goes completely numb. I have been through a dr that doesn't beleive I have seizures and that I faked the one when he was on call for ER. I advise you that you dont always use the ER for the seizures. 1 it is too much $ to put out, and 2 why stay in the hospital when you what is wrong with her? I found that out the hard way. I rarely visit the ER now because of that Dr but also because my parents, family and friends know how to treat me when I have a seizure. What goes/brings on a seizure? What goes on is that the neurons in your brain send msgs to your brain telling you to move your hand, head, and etc. Well a seizure happens when there is an overload on msgs floating around in that part that the seizure spot is in. Anything can bring on a seizure.....headaches(certain types or any headache), flashing lights, caffiene overload, chocolate overload, being sleep diprived, not taking meds, and much much more. Where are you from? What is her name? I hope this kinda helped you out. "Normal is just a setting on the washing machine, and those that have Epilepsy are far from normal!!!!!" (; Autumn ;)
